SEVERE WARNING SIGNS

•Do not install the refrigerator in a damp place or place where it may come in contact with water.

-Deteriorated insulation of electrical parts may cause an electric shock or fire.

•Do not place this refrigerator in direct sunlight or expose to the heat from stoves, room heaters or other appliance.

•Allow sufficient space to install the refrigerator on a flat surface.

-If your refrigerator is not level, the internal cooling system may not work correctly.

•Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple power board. The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical which has a voltage rating that matched the rating plate.

-This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

•Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

-Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire and/or electric shock.

•Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the refrigerator.

•Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy articles on it. - This constitutes a fire hazard.

•Have the power cord repaired or replaced immediately by the manufacturer or its service agent if power cord has become frayed or damaged.

- Improper use of the ground plug can result in electric shock.

• Do not dissemble or repair the refrigerator by yourself.

- You run risk of causing a fire, malfunction and/or personal injury.

•If you smell pharmaceutical or smoke, pull out power plug immediately and contact your Samsung electronics service center.

•Keep ventilation opening in the appliance enclosure or mounting structure clear of obstruction.

•Do not use mechanical devices or any other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

•Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER USAGE

•Allow the appliance to stand for 2hours after installation.

•To get best performance of product,

-Do not place foods too closely in front of the vents at the rear of the appliance as it can obstruct free air circulation in the freezer compartment.

-Wrap the food up properly or place it in airtight containers before put it into the fridge freezer.

-Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing near to already frozen food.

•Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment

•Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods.

•There is no need to disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply if you will be away for less than three weeks. But, remove all the food if you are going away for the three weeks or more.

Unplug the refrigerator and clean it, rinse and dry.

•Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

But should the power failure last more than 24hours, remove all frozen food.

•If the key is provided with refrigerator, the keys should be kept out of the reach of children and not in the vicinity of the appliance.

•The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.

•Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas, melons.

•Place the ice tray at the originally provided posistion by manufacturer in order to achieve optimal ice-freezing.

•Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost your appliance, as this will be carried out automatically.

•Temperature rising during the defrost can comply with ISO requirement. But If you want to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the appliance, please wrap the frozen food in several layers of paper such as newspaper.

•Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life.

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.

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
