Safety information

Before using your new Samsung Refrigerator, please read this manual thoroughly to ensure that you know how to operate the features and functions that your new appliance offers safely and efficiently.

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	<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>Safety
	do not play with the appliance.
	• Because the following instructions cover various models, the characteristics of your	<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>information
	refrigerator may differ slightly from the refrigerator described in this manual.
	• If you have any question, contact us at 1-800-SAMSUNG or find 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 flames and move anything flammable
	away from the product and ventilate the room immediately.
	- Failing to do so may result in fire 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.

Important safety precautions

Warning; Risk of fire / flammable materials

WARNING

•R-600a is used as a refrigerant. This product contains flammable gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local authority in regard to safe disposal of this product.

•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 35.3 ft³ in size for every 8 g of R-600a refrigerant inside the appliance.

•The installation location should not be exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near any electric appliance or heat source, e.g. stove, oven or hob, radiator, etc.

•If you use two products side by side, for safety reason, be sure to use certified products in explosive gas atmospheres.

•Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

•The socket must be easily accessible so that the appliance can be quickly disconnected from the supply in an emergency. It must be outside the area of the rear of the appliance.

•Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

•New hose-sets supplied with the appliance are to be used and that old hose-sets should not be reused.

•When positioning the appliance, ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.

Severe warning signs for transportation and site

WARNING

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

-Refrigerant leaking from the pipe work 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.

-This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R-600a), a natural gas with high environmental compatibility that is, however, also flammable.

Critical installation warnings

WARNING

•Do not install the refrigerator in a damp location or place where it may come in contact with water.

-Deteriorated insulation on electrical parts may cause an electric shock or fire.

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

•Do not plug several appliances and the refrigerator 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 overheat the wires and cause a fire hazard.

•If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.

-There is a risk of electric shock or fire.

•Do not use a power cord that has cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

•Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy objects on it.

•Do not twist or tie the power cord.

•Do not hook the power cord over a metal object, place a heavy object on the power cord, insert the power cord between objects, or push the power cord into the space behind the appliance.

•When moving the refrigerator, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

-This may result in an electric shock or fire.

•Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

-Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire, and/or electric shock.

•Do not install this appliance near a heater or flammable material.

•Do not install this appliance in a location where gas may leak.

-This may result in an electric shock or fire.

Usage cautions

CAUTION

• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.

• Use only the ice maker provided with the refrigerator.

• To get the best performance from the product:

	<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>Safety	- Do not place food too close to the vents at the rear of the refrigerator as this can
		obstruct free air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
		- Wrap food up properly or place it in airtight containers before putting it into the
	<![if ! IE]> <![endif]>information	refrigerator.
		- Please observe maximum storage times and expiration dates of frozen goods.
		• Do not put glass containers or bottles or carbonated beverages into the freezer.
		- The container may freeze and break, and this may result in injury.
		• Service Warranty and Modification.
		- Any changes or modifications performed by a 3rd party on this finished appliance
		are not covered under Samsung warranty service, nor is Samsung responsible for
		safety issues that result from 3rd party modifications.
		• Do not block the air vents inside the refrigerator.
		- If the air vents are blocked, especially with a plastic bag, the refrigerator can be over
		cooled. If a cooling period lasts too long, the water filter may break and cause water
		leakage.
		• If the refrigerator is disconnected from the power supply, you should wait for at least
		five minutes before plugging it back in.
		• If large amounts of water enter the refrigerator, pull out the power plug and contact a
		Samsung service center.
