This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a natural gas with high environmental compatibility

that is, however, also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.

Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for-several minutes.

• In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas-air

mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used. The room must be 1m3 in size for every 8 g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.

• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of

damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

Do not place this refrigerator in direct sunlight or expose to the heat from stoves, room heaters or other appliance.

If you smell pharmaceutical or smoke, pull out the power plug immediately and contact your Samsung Electronics service center.
