SETTING UP THE
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 Electronics
service center.
REFRIGERATOR
Place the refigerator in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between the
wall and the refrigerator.
(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 evaporators. 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 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.

Beeper reminds you that the door is open.
