dance with the manual before it is used.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this
instruction manual.
• We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a quali-
fied individual.
• R600a or R134a can be used as a refrigerant. Check the compres-
sor label on the rear of the appliance and the rating label inside the
fridge to see which refrigerant is used for the refrigerator.
• In case of R600a refrigerant, this gas is 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.
WARNING
• 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.

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.

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.
Door Alarm
•
Beeper reminds you that the door is open.
Xtra Fresh
• Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
Deodorizer
• 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.

SAVING ENERGY TIPS
- Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation.
Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat
(radiator, for example).
- Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance.
- Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.
- Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
- Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out.
The shorter time for which the door is open, the less ice will form in the freezer.
- Clean the rear of the refrigerator regularly. Dust increases energy consumption.
- Do not set temperature colder than necessary.
- Ensure sufficient air exhaust at the refrigerator base and at the back wall of the refrigerator.
Do not cover air vent openings.
- Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing.
This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.
