KEY FEATURES OF YOUR NEW REFRIGERATOR
Your Samsung French Door Refrigerator comes equipped with various and effective space-saving,
innovative storage and energy-efficient features.
Twin Cooling System
The Refrigerator and Freezer have separate evaporators. Due to this independent cooling
system, the Freezer and Refrigerator cool more efficiently.
Additionally, this separate air flow system prevents food odor of one compartment from seeping
into other compartments.
- Surround Air Flow System
Cool air circulates through multiple vents on each shelf keeping each compartment cool. It
provides the even distribution of cool air to the inside cabinet, and it keeps your food fresh longer.
Bigger & Wider Space
The Wide shelf area and pantry provide enough space for larger items such as a pizza box, etc.
The Wide freezer drawer also provides enough space for 2-3 turkeys.
• SecureAuto Close
The Secure Auto Close feature will automatically close a door that is slightly open.
- Door Alarm
A helpful beeper alerts you if the door is ajar.
- Extra Fresh
The superb humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh longer.
For easy future reference, write the model and
serial number down. You will find your model
number and serial number on the left side of the
