safely and efciently.
What you need to know about the safety instructions
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they

refrigerator may differ slightly from the refrigerator described in this manual.
• If you have any question, contact us at 1-800-SAMSUNG or nd help and information
online at www.samsung.com.
• 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.
• Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 V, 10 A, or more. If a
grounding adapter is used, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.
