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.
TM
Door Alarm
•
Beeper reminds you that the door is open.
Xtra Fresh
• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
Deodorizer (on some models)
• Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air fresh and odor free.
CoolSelect Zone
• User can select Quick Cool, Thaw and Select buttons to quickly
chill, thaw and cool items. Select Soft Freeze, Cool or Chill to control
the temperature of drawer.
