  • Page 24 Installing a CO Cylinder (For Sparkling Water Refrigerators Only - Optional) To use the Sparkling Water feature on your refrigerator, you need to install a Sodastream CO cylinder. Purchasing CO Cylinders (60L) • Purchase cylinders (60L) at the nearest Sodastream retailer or on line at www.sodastream.com. • USE ONLY SODASTREAM carbonators (or CO cylinders (60L)). To the extent permitted by law, SAMSUNG and SODASTREAM are not legally responsible for any damage, including, but not limited to, property damage caused by gas leakage from the use of non-Sodastream carbonators (or CO cylinders (60L)). The sparkling water system in your SAMSUNG refrigerator is designed to work ONLY WITH SODASTREAM carbonators (or CO cylinders (60L)) • We suggest buying extra cylinders for later use. Store extra cylinders in a cool, open space, well out of the reach of children. If sparkling water is produced when the internal refrigerator temperature or the temperature of the CO cylinder is high, you may hear a “horn sound”. When you turn on your refrigerator for the first time, you should not generate sparkling water production until after approximately 2 hours. When you purchase a new CO cylinder, be sure to store it in a cool dry place until you are ready to install it (23 ~ 68 °F (-5 ~ 20 °C)). If the cylinder is stored in higher temperatures, it may build up extra internal pressure, which could create a “horn sound” when sparkling water is produced. Water Line Hookup • Make sure that you have connected the refrigerator to a water line before installing the cylinder.

  • Page 25: Completing The Set Up

    3. Push the installed CO cylinder fully into the cylinder case. 4. To lock the CO cylinder, push the safety lever down. • The lever may be stiff due to the internal pressure of the CO cylinder. In this case, hold the lever as shown by the figure on the right and press it down firmly. • If you do not lock the CO cylinder, the sparkling water maker will not work. • If the CO cylinder is not firmly connected to the regulator, CO gas may leak with a “hissing” sound. In this case, repeat step 2, 3 and 4 to properly install the CO cylinder. 5. The sparkling water concentration is set to ‘2’ by default. Press the “Sparkling Water” button to set the concentration to a desired level and hold down the “Sparkling Water” button for 3 seconds to reset the CO cylinder. Once the CO cylinder is reset, sparkling water is produced. • To produce sparkling water, the sparkling water tank is filled with water and the CO gas is injected according to the configured concentration. • To remove foreign substances that may exist in the sparkling water tank, discard the first 1.2L of sparkling water. • The sparkling water will not dispense while it is producing. When the numbers ( ) next to the sparkling water icon stops blinking, Sparkling water can be dispensed. Press 3 seconds • To Uninstall the CO cylinder, follow the above step #1 ~ #4 in reverse order. For more information about using the Sparkling Water function, see Using the Sparkling Water Function.

  • Page 39 Using the Sparkling Water Function (For Sparkling Water Refrigerators Only - Optional) With a Sodastream CO cylinder, your refrigerator can make and dispense sparkling (carbonated) water. Making Sparkling Water To turn on the Sparkling Water function and make sparkling water, press the Cubed/Crushed button for 3 seconds. When you turn on the function, the Carbonation Level icons light up in rotation (Level-1 → Level-2 → Level-3 → Level-1, etc.) and, within a few seconds, the refrigerator begins to make sparkling water. When production is complete, the Carbonation Level icon rotation stops. If you leave the Sparkling Water Production function on, and the amount of Sparkling Water becomes low, the refrigerator automatically enters the Sparkling Water production mode and makes more. However, if you turn off the Sparkling Water Production function, the refrigerator will not make additional sparkling water, even if there is little sparkling water left in the Sparkling Water tank. No OFF Icon Press the Cubed/Crushed Button for 3 seconds Sparkling Water Production Time Depending on the Carbonation Level you set (See Setting the Carbonation Level), the amount of time it takes the refrigerator to complete the sparkling water production process changes. The table below lists the production times by Carbonation Level. The refrigerator is pre-set at the factory to Level 2.
  • Page 40 Controlling the Carbonation Level When the Sparkling Water Icon is turned on, you can change the sparkling water’s carbonation level by pressing the Sparkling Water button for 3 seconds. The carbonation level will change as follows; Medium (Level-2) → Strong (Level-3) → Weak (Level-1) → Medium (Level-2). The change in carbonation level is applied the next time the refrigerator makes sparkling water. - If there is previously produced sparkling water inside the Sparkling Water tank, the refrigerator dispenses sparkling water with the previous carbonation level. (Again, changes in the carbonation level do not take affect until the next time the refrigerator makes sparkling water. The change does not affect sparkling water that is already made.) - While the refrigerator is producing sparkling water, the Carbonation Level icons light up in rotation (Level-1 → Level-2 → Level-3 → Level-1, etc.). If you press the Sparkling Water button when the refrigerator is making sparkling water, the current carbonation level is displayed for several seconds. If you press the Sparkling Water button again while the carbonation level is being displayed, the carbonation level changes. The change in the carbonation level will take affect the next time the refrigerator makes sparkling water. - If you change the carbonation level when the refrigerator is making sparkling water, the refrigerator produces sparkling water at the previous carbonation level.

  • Page 41 The Carbonation Level is set to Level 2 at the factory. If the sparkling water tastes too strong or too weak, change the carbonation level. Level 1 provides a milder carbonation, Level 3 a stronger carbonation. • If there is a power interruption when the refrigerator is making sparkling water, the refrigerator may re-start the carbonation process when power returns and put too much carbonation into the water. If this occurs, we recommend throwing out the overly carbonated water and starting the process again. • The lifetime of the CO cylinder can vary, depending on the Carbonation Levels you choose. Turning Off the Sparkling Water Function To turn off the Sparkling Water function, press the Cubed/Crushed button for 3 seconds. OFF Icon On Press for 3 seconds Any sparkling water remaining in the Sparkling Water tank after you have turned off the Sparkling Water function can still be dispensed. Replacing a Cylinder When the taste of sparkling water is weak or non-existent, replace the current cylinder with a new cylinder. To replace a cylinder, follow these steps: 1. Lift up the Lever holding the cylinder in place. 2. Pull the Cylinder out of the Support. 3. Rotate the Cylinder counterclockwise to remove it from the Regulator. 4. To install a new cylinder, follow the directions for installing a cylinder starting at Step 2 in Installing a Cylinder into the Refrigerator on pages 24 .
  • Page 42 Notes • If you open the refrigerator door while the refrigerator is making sparkling water, it will stop. When you close the door, it will resume making sparkling water in about a minute. • If you keep dispensing sparking water, the water stream may become unstable or break up. This is caused by changes in pressure in the Sparkling Water Production Tank. It is not a defect. • If the water hose is kinked or water is not supplied properly, the Carbonation Level of the Sparkling Water will be high. This occurs because the same amount of carbon dioxide (CO ) is dispensed by the Cylinder regardless of the amount of water in the Production Tank. • If the Sparkling Water function is on and you dispense about 1.16 quarts (1.1 L) of sparkling water, the refrigerator automatically begins making more sparkling water. • If you are not going to be home for a long period of time, do not want to use the Sparkling Water function any more, or you are moving: 1. Press the Cubed/Crushed button for three seconds to turn off the Sparkling Water function. 2. Empty the Sparkling Water tank by dispensing all the water in the tank. 3. Remove the CO Cylinder.
