Safety information
• Because these following operating instructions cover various models, the characteristics of your refrigerator may differ slightly from those described in this manual and not all warning signs may be applicable. If you have any questions or concerns, contact your nearest service center or nd help and information online at www.samsung.com.
• In order to avoid the creation of a ammable 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.
• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer. The room must be 1 m³ in size for every 8 g of R-600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identication plate inside the appliance.
• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. When refrigerant leaks from the pipe, avoid any naked ames and move anything ammable away from the product and ventilate the room immediately.
- Failing to do so may result in re or explosion.
• It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorised Service Person to service this appliance.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a ammable propellant in this appliance.

• Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple power strip. The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the voltage listed on the refrigerator’s rating plate.
- This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading of house wiring circuits, which could cause a re hazard from overheated wires.
• If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.

Additional tips for proper usage

• In the event of a power failure, call the local ofce of your electric company and ask how long the failure is going to last.
- Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two
will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
- Should the power failure last more than 24 hours,
remove and discard all frozen food.
• The refrigerator might not operate consistently (frozen contents can thaw or temperatures can become too warm in the frozen food compartment) if sited for an extended period of time in a location where ambient air temperatures are constantly below the temperatures for which the appliance is designed.
• In case of particular foods, keeping it under refrigeration can have a bad effect on preservation due to its properties.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost your appliance. This will be carried out automatically.
• Temperature rise during defrosting complies with ISO requirements. If you want to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of frozen food while the appliance defrosts, wrap the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.
