doors open for any longer than

necessary.

Make sure that the doors are

carefully pushed closed at all

times.

such as ether and benzene, in

the fridge/freezer. Besides

damaging the food, the fumes

can build up and cause an

explosion.

DO NOT use flammable sprays,

such as lacquer or paint, near

Thank you for purchasing a

SAMSUNG fridge/freezer.

Please take the time to read

these instructions, as they will enable

you to take full advantage of your

new appliance.

Main Features

Your fridge/freezer is fitted with several useful features, to help you store food as efficiently and as

hygienically as possible.

Feature Description

Auto-defrost When sufficient frost has accumulated in the fridge/freezer, the auto-defrost feature

starts up automatically. The frost is thawed and the thaw water is collected in an

evaporation tray, which allows it to evaporate.

This operation is fully automatic and requires no intervention by you.

Bio-deodorizer This integrated ventilation system helps remove odor from the refrigerator, by moving

(OPTION) the air in such a way that smells cannot collect and contaminate the food. The

bio-deodorizer is located at the top of fresh food compartment.

Chiller compartment The chiller compartment freezes only the surface of the food to help:

(OPTION)

◆ Preserve the taste of the food

◆ Prolong the freshness

Adjustable shelves The accessories inside your fridge/freezer can be placed in the positions that best suit

and containers your requirements and the food to be stored. The specially large compartments in the

bottom of the door are very practical when chilling bottles of drinks for example.

Important

These appliances are intended for

household use only. If you wish to

use them for industrial or commer-

cial purposes, you must check that

you comply with all applicable

standards and regulations.

Various factors must be taken into account when choosing where to install your fridge/freezer.

For the personal safety of you and your family, your fridge/freezer

must be:

◆ Plugged into its own individual wall outlet with the

correct voltage and frequency, as indicated inside the

refrigerator door

◆ Properly earthed (do not ground the fridge/freezer with a

telephone line, gas pipe, and so on)

To minimise the possibility of electric shocks from the appliance, the

wall outlet must also be earthed; have it checked by a qualified

electrician. If it is not earthed, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to have it replaced with a properly earthed outlet, or use a

different power point.

If the power cord is damaged, avoid a hazard by

replacing it through the manufacturer or its service

agent or a similarly qualified person.

In case of power plug without ground terminal.

◆ Connect one side of the ground wire (yellow/green

or green color) with the ground screw, another side

of the ground terminal with steel or copper pipe such

as water pipe tap.
