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 refrigerator. (refer to installation instructions in this manual)
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 evaporators. Given this inde­pendent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individual­ly and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refrigerator does not affect food in the freezer due to separate 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.
Xtra Space
• Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space for pizza etc.
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.

Door Alarm
Beeper reminds you that the door is open.
Xtra Fresh
