SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION/WARNING SYMBOLS USED OTHER SYMBOLS USED
Indicates that a danger of death or
serious injury exists.
Indicates that a risk of
personal injury or material
damage exists.
WARNING
CAUTION
• When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane
refrigerant (R600a), a natural gas with high environmental compatibility that is, however, also com-
bustible. 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.
• 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.
The room must be 1m
3
in size for every 8 g of R600a refrigerant
inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular
appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.
• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in
doubt, consult your dealer.
R600a or R134a is used as a refrigerant. Check the Compressor
label on the rear of the appliance and the rating label inside the
fridge to see which refrigerator is used for your refrigerator.

power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or
damaged by the back of the refrigerator.

frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. If
the power cord is damaged, have it replaced immediately by the
manufacturer or its service agent.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INITIAL OPERATING CONDITION
Place the refigerator in an appropriate location
with reasonable clearance between the wall and
the refigerator.
(refer to installation instructions in this mannal)
MAJOR FEATURES
Twin Cooling System
• The refrigerator and the freezer have two evapora
tors. 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.
Door Alarm
• A beeper reminds you if the door is left open.
High humidity for fresher food
• You can keep food, fruit and vegetables fresh for
longer because your refrigerator supplies highly
humidified cold air. This can be up to four or five
times more effective than a normal refrigerator.
Energy-saving fridge/freezer
• Power consumption is kept to a minimum by distributing cool air separately to the refrigerator and
freezer.
Faster cooling times
• The power freeze function allow you to freeze food
more quickly.
Abundant supply of ice and cold water
• The ice and water dispenser provides ice and cold
water at any time.
Beverage Station (optional)
• You do not have to open the main door to access
frequently used food in the extra refrigerating compartment. This saves time and money.
Deodorizer
• Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air
fresh and odor free.

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.
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 takes a few hours to
reach the appropriate temperature.
NOTE
This operation instruction covers various models.
The characteristics of your appliance may differ
slightly from those described in this manual.
