SETTING UP THE REFRIGERAT OR
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.
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.
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.
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.

Energy-saving fridge/freezer
• Power consumption is kept to a minimum by distributing cool air separately to the refrigerator and
freezer.
Faster cooling times
• The power freeze function allow you to freeze food
more quickly.
Abundant supply of ice and cold water
• The ice and water dispenser provides ice and cold
water at any time.
