keep it in a safe place for future reference.

• This refrigerator must be properly installed and located in accor-

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.

• Do not use a wet or damp cloth when cleaning the plug.

• Remove any foreign matter or dust from the power plug pins.

- Otherwise there is a risk of fire.

• 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 elec-

trical 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 overheat-

ed 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 manu-

facturer or its service agent if power cord has become frayed or dam-

aged.

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 appli-

ance is standing for several minutes.

• 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.

• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of

damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

• The room must be 1m3 in size for every 8g of R600a

refrigerant inside the appliance.

• The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance

is shown on the identification plate inside the appli-

ance.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER USAGE

CAUTION

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MAJOR FEATURES

Twin Cooling System

•

The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this

independent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled indi-

vidually and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refriger-

ator does not affect food in the freezer due to separate air flow circula-

tion.

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

Drawer (on some models)

• User can select Quick Cool, Thaw and Select buttons to quickly

chill, thaw and cool items. Select Soft Freeze, Cool or Chill to con-

trol the temperature of drawer.

Beverage Station

(on some models)

• T

he Beverage Station

is convenient and reduces energy consump-

tion, because you do not need to open the refrigerator door to access

stored beverages and snacks.

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.

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.

Place the refigerator in an appropriate

location with reasonable clearance

between the wall and the refrigerator.

(refer to installation instructions in this

manual)

Once the refrigerator temperature is suffi-

ciently low, you can store food in the

refrigerator. After starting the refrigerator, it

takes a few hours to reach the appropriate

temperature.

When the refrigerator is plugged in,

the interior light should come on when

you open the doors.
