KEY FEATURES OF YOUR NEW REFRIGERATOR

Your Samsung Refrigerator comes equipped with various 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.

• Bigger & Wider Space

The wide shelf area provides enough space for larger items.
The wide freezer drawer also provides enough space for 2~3 turkeys.

• Secure Auto Close

The Secure Auto Close feature will automatically close a door that is slightly open.

• Digital Display and Temperature Control

• Door Alarm

A helpful beeper alerts you if a door is ajar.

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 refrigerator.

• Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours af ter installation.

• To get best performance of product,

- Do not place foods too closely in front of the vents at the rear of the appliance as it can
obstruct free air circulation in the freezer compartment.

- Wrap the food up properly or place it in air tight containers before put it into the fridge freezer

- Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing near to already frozen food.

• There is no need to disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply if you will be away for less
than three weeks. But, remove all the food if you are going away for the three weeks or more.
Unplug the refrigerator and clean it, rinse and dry.

• The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature
becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of
time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is
designed.

• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas, melons.

• Place the ice tray at the originally provided posistion by manufacturer in order to achieve optimal
ice-freezing.

• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost your appliance, as
this will be carried out automatically.

• Temperature rising during the defrost can comply with ISO requirement. But If you want to
prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the appliance,
please wrap the frozen food in several layers of paper such as newspaper.

Depth (mm)

with door 715 765

without door 628 678

Height (mm) 1778

• Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power
consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

• If you install the Refrigerator where is below 10ºC, it may not function in optimum level.

When moving your refrigerator

level sur face of hard material that is the same height as the
rest of the flooring. This surface should be strong enough to
suppor t a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 106kg.

To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large section of the
cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator where you
are working. When moving the refrigerator, be sure to pull it
straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in.
