PREP ARING THE FRIDGE / FREEZER

Install all shelves and compartments removed during transport and place them in the correct position.
You are advised to clean the appliance and accessories before switching the appliance on for the first time to remove any dust that accumulated during packing and shipping.
Switch on the appliance for approximately 2 hours before loading it with frozen food for the first time. Do not load with frozen food until the freezer temperature is at least 0°F. If you want to store frozen food as soon as possible, set the temperature control to the coldest temperature (-14°F) and let the appliance operate for one hour. The appliance is preset for normal operation.We recommend temperatures of 38°F in the fridge and -2°F in the freezer.
The interior light of the appliance will light up when the door is open. This interior light will go out when the door is closed.
Your appliance is operated by a compressor which switches “on and off” to maintain the internal temperature.When the compressor is new, it requires running for a period of up to five months.During this per iod, it may be slightly noisy. This is quite nor mal and does not represent a fault.
Store food once the temperature in the refrigerator is sufficiently low. It takes a few hours after starting the refrigerator to reach the proper temperature. If the appliance does not operate correctly, check the electricity supply. If the problem persists, contact your dealer.
To prepare your appliance for use and check that it is running correctly, take the following steps.

ST ORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE OR FREEZER

When storing food in the appliance, follow the recommendations below.
• Allow warm food and beverages to cool down before storing them in the appliance.
• Ensure that food is well-wrapped or covered before it is stored.This will prevent food from dehydrating, deteriorating in color or losing flavor and will help maintain freshness. Fruits and vegetables do not need to wrapped, provided that they are stored in the fridge vegetable drawers. Avoid wrapping the food with paper as it may cause odors.We recommend plastic wrap or foil.
• Never let any oil or grease come into contact with the plastic fittings or door seals, as these materials easily become porous.
• Never store any explosive substances inside the appliance. High-proof alcohol should only be stored upright in tightly sealed containers.
• Please keep the space between the shelf and the rear wall of the enclosed space of the cabinet a 1/2 inch apart for air circulation.
A. Fridge
Transparent, unbreakable shelves
• Place food in storage containers and lay the items out at suitable intervals.
• The storage shelf is made from an unbreakable, transparent material, so that you can safely use it .
Humidity controlled drawers
• Fruit and Vegetables can be stored in these compartments.
• The drawers can be removed if you need more space to store fruit and
vegetables.
• To maintain high humidity, slide the humidity control lever to the
“HIGH” side.
Multi-purpose door guard and egg bin
• The fridge is the warmest in the front, at the top and in the door.

ST ORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE OR FREEZER
Freezer drawer
• You can store packed frozen foods, like ice cream and bacon.
• You can store meat and fish or dried foods divided into suitably sized portions.
• Can be used to store meat and dry foods.Stored food should be wrapped securely using foil or other suitable wrapping materials or containers.
B. Freezer
Wrapping food
Pack the food in suitably sized portions for your household. Vegetable and fruit portions should be no heavier than 2 pounds, while meat portions can be up to 5.5 lbs. Smaller portions freeze quickly and the quality is better maintained when defrosting and preparing the food. It is important to seal food in airtight bags or containers before freezing to prevent it from losing its taste or dehydrating. Wrap the food, then press out any air and seal it airtight.
Suitable wrapping materials:
Plastic bags, cling-film, aluminium foil and freezer containers.
Unsuitable wrapping materials:
Wrapping paper, wax paper, cellophane, bin bags or used carrier bags. These can cause odors.
Suitable sealing materials:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, freezer tape or similar. Plastic film and bags may be heat-sealed using a special sealing iron or press.
Before placing a package in the freezer,it should be clearly labelled with the contents and the date of freezing.

ICE MAKER

The ice maker will produce 8 cubes per cycle – approximately 100~130 cubes in a 24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature, number of door openings and other use conditions.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear. Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm. When the bin fills to the level of the feeler ar m, the icemaker will stop producing ice. After the icemaker has been turned on again, there will be a time delay before the
icemaker resumes operations. It is normal for several cubes to be joined together. If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shr ink.
So if you don't want to make ice, press the Ice Off button.
• The refrigerator can only use ice makers which are made by Samsung Electronics.
• The ice-maker can only be installed by Samsung or its service agent.

USAGE PRECAUTIONS

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

Please note that this noise is caused by the refrigerant circuit and is not a problem.
You can hear a liquid bubbling in the appliance
Do not wrap food with paper.
Store foods covered and clean the cold inlet.
There is a bad smell inside the appliance
Space the food out as much as possible to improve
ventilation.
Is the door fully closed?
There is a layer of frost on the surface of stored food.
Food with a high water content is stored uncovered
with a high humidity level or the door has been left open for a long time.
Store the food with a cover or in sealed containers.
Condensation forms on the inside wall of the appliance and around vegetables
Check that the power plug is correctly connected.
Is the temperature control on the front panel correctly
set?
Does the sun shine on the appliance or are there heat sources nearby?
Is the back of the appliance too close to the wall?
The appliance is not operating at all or the temperature is too high
Is the temperature control on the front panel set to the
coldest temperature 34°F?
Is the surrounding temperature too low?
Did you put food with a high water content in the
fridge?
The food in the fridge is frozen
Check that the appliance is installed on a stable, leveled floor.
Is the back of the appliance too close to the wall?
Have any foreign objects fallen behind or under the
appliance?
Is the noise coming from the compressor in the
appliance? Call 1-800-SAMSUNG
A ticking sound may be heard inside the appliance; this
is normal.This sound occurs when the various accessories contract or expand.
There are unusual noises
Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners of the appliance to prevent condensation from for ming. When the surrounding temperature rises, this may not always be effective. However, this is not abnormal.
In very humid weather, condensation may form on the outer surface of the appliance when moisture in the air comes into contact with the cool surface of the appliance.
The front corners and sides of the appliance are warm and condensation starts to form
Store food with a high water content at the front of a refrigerator shelf.
If you store cold food, you save on electricity and
improve refrigeration.
Do not store hot food in the appliance until it has cooled.
Power Saving Tips
Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation. Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for example).
Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance.
Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.
Put frozen food in the refr igerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
Defrost the freezer when ice builds up. A thick coat of ice will impair the transfer of cold to the frozen products, thereby increasing power consumption.
Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. The shorter time the door is opened, the less ice will form in the freezer.
When freezing food or storing it in the freezer, place the food directly on the freezer elements in the top container.
