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.

SAFETY WARNING

SETTING UP THE REFRIGERATOR

Once you have performed the following steps, your refrigerator should be fully operational. If not, check the power supply and electricity source. If you have any questions, contact your SAMSUNG service center.

Place the refigerator in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between the wall and the refigerator.

(refer to installation instructions in this mannal)

When the refrigerator is plugged in, the interior light should come on when you open the doors.

Set the temperature control to the coldest temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer should get slightly chilled and the motor should run smoothly.

Once the refrigerator temperature is sufficiently low, you can store food in the

refrigerator. After starting the refrigerator, it takes a few hours to reach the appropriate temperature.

MAJOR FEATURES

Twin Cooling System

•The refrigerator and the freezer have two evapora tors. Given this independent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individually as required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refrigerator does not affect food in the freezer due to separate of air flow circulation.

Multi-Flow System

•Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level. This provides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food fresh longer.

Door Alarm

• A beeper reminds you if the door is left open.

High humidity for fresher food

•You can keep food, fruit and vegetables fresh for longer because your refrigerator supplies highly humidified cold air. This can be up to four or five times more effective than a normal refrigerator.

Energy-saving fridge/freezer

•Power consumption is kept to a minimum by distributing cool air separately to the refrigerator and freezer.

Beverage Station (optional)

•You do not have to open the main door to access frequently used food in the extra

refrigerating compartment. This saves time and money.

Deodorizer (optional)

•Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air fresh and odor free.

CoolSelect ZoneTMDrawer (optional)

• User can select Quick Cool, Thaw and Select buttons for quickly chill, thaw and cools items. Select Soft Freeze, Cool or Chill to control the tempera ture of drawer.
