This appliance contains a small amount
of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a natural
gas with high environ mental 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.
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

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.
The refrigerator should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet
which has a voltage rating that matches
the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and
also prevents overloading house wiring
circuits, which could cause a fire hazard
from overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and
pull straight out from the outlet.
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.

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.
