Follow these easy steps to get your Samsung RS257BA Refrigerator up and running in no time.
Place the refrigerator in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between the wall and the refrigerator. This allows for proper air circulation and reduces power consumption.
Ensure that the dimensions of the entrance door and the location can accommodate the refrigerator. The dimensions for the RS253BA, RS255BA, RS257BA are as follows: Width: 36 inches, Height: 69 inches, Depth: 28 inches.
Make small adjustments to ensure the refrigerator is level. Use a wrench to adjust the leveling legs at the bottom front corners of the refrigerator.
Plug the refrigerator into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the power supply is stable and matches the refrigerator's requirements.
Set the temperature control to the coldest setting for the initial startup. Allow the refrigerator to run for an hour to ensure the freezer gets slightly chilled and the motor runs smoothly.
Ensure the refrigerator doors are properly aligned. Adjust the door height using the screws and nuts located at the bottom of the doors if necessary.
Install the water filter cartridge in the designated compartment and check for any leaks around the water filter. A newly-installed water filter may cause water to briefly spurt from the dispenser.
Once the refrigerator is plugged in, open the doors to check if the interior light comes on. This confirms that the refrigerator is receiving power.
After starting the refrigerator, it takes a few hours to reach the appropriate temperature. Once sufficiently cold, you can store food in the refrigerator.
