Represents something you must NOT do.

Represents something you must NOT disassemble.

Represents something you must NOT touch.

Represents something you must follow.

Indicates that you must disconnect the power plug from the socket.

Represents a ground is needed to prevent electric shock.

This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

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

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

Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the shelves or doors in the refrigerator. They could damage the refrigerator and seriously injure themsleves.

The appliance is not intended for use by children or infirm persons without supervision. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

If the refrigerator will not be used for vacation or a long period of time, ensure the refrigerator is empty and disconnect the plug from the mains.

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 whilst the power is off. But Should the power failure last more than

24hours, remove all frozen food.

Allow sufficient space to install the refrigerator on a flat surface.

Do not disassemble or repair the refrigerator by yourself. You run the risk of causing a fire, malfunctions and/or personal injury.

The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible after installation.

2

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.

R600a or R134a is used as a refrigerant. Check the Compressor label on the rear of the appliance and the rating label inside the fridge to see which refrigerator is used for your refrigerator.

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.

Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the refrigerator.

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

Have the power code repaired or replaced immediately by the manufacturer or its service agent if the power cord has become frayed or damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced immediately by the manufacturer or its service agent.

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

Do not insert the power cord with wet hands.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.

Do not use a wet or damp cloth when cleaning the plug. Remove any foreign matter or dust from the power plug pins. Otherwise there is a risk of fire.

If the refrigerator is disconnected from the power supply, you should wait for at least five minutes before plugging it back.

If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug. There is a risk of electric shock or fire.
