CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
Caring for your Samsung Refrigerator prolongs the life of your appliance and helps keep it
odor and germ-free.
Cleaning the Interior
Clean the inside walls and accessories with a mild detergent and then wipe dry
with a soft cloth. You can remove the drawers and shelves for a more thorough
cleaning. Just make sure to dry them before putting them back into place.
Cleaning the Exterior
Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean,
soft cloth. Spray water onto the cleaning cloth instead
of spraying directly on the surface of the refrigerator.
This helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the
surface. The doors, handles and cabinet surfaces should
be cleaned with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with
a soft cloth. To keep your appliance looking its best, the
exterior should be polished once or twice a year.
Do not use Benzene, Thinner or Clorox™ for cleaning.
They may damage the surface of the appliance and can create a risk of fire.
WARNING
CAUTION
Do not spray the refrigerator with water while it is plugged in, as it may cause
an electric shock. Do not clean the refrigerator with benzene, thinner or car
detergent for risk of fire.
Cleaning the Rubber door seals
If the rubber door seals are dirty the doors may not close
properly, and the refrigerator will not operate efficiently.
Keep the door seals free of grit or grime by cleaning the
doors with a mild detergent and damp cloth. Wipe dry with
a clean, soft cloth.
Page 24

Cleaning the Deodorizer
In case of food smells in the fridge,
Clean the low temperature catalyzing
deodorizer.
After disassembling, dip into clean
water and leave to dry completely in
sunlight before reinserting.

behind the appliance once or twice a year.
If the cartridge dries in a confined (or humid) area, there may be an odour to
the cartridge. If this occurs, re-clean and allow to dry in a well-ventilated area.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The appliance is not
operating at all or the
temperature is too
high.
• Check that the power plug is correctly connected.
• Is the temperature control on the front panel correctly set?
• Does sun shine on the appliance or are there heat sources nearby?
• Is the back of the appliance too near to the wall?
The food in the
refrigerator is frozen.
• Is the temperature control on the front panel set to the coldest
temperature?
• Is the surrounding temperature too low?
• Did you store the food with a high water content in the coldest part of
the fridge?
There are unusual
noises.
• Check that the appliance is installed on a stable, level floor.
• Is the back of the appliance too near to the wall?
• Have any foreign objects fallen behind or under the appliance?
• Is the noise coming from the compressor in the appliance?
• A ticking sound may be heard inside the appliance; this is normal.
This sound occurs when the various accessories contract or expand.
The front corners
and sides of the
appliance are warm
and condensation
starts to form.
• Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners of the appliance to
prevent condensation from forming.
When the surrounding temperature rises, this may not always be
effective. However, this is not abnormal.
• In very humid weather, condensation may form on the outer surface
of the appliance when the moisture in the air comes into contact with
the cool surface of the appliance.
You can hear a liquid
bubbling in the
appliance.
• This is the refrigerant, which cools the inside of the appliance.
There is a bad smell
inside the appliance.
• Has a food item spoiled?
• Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fish) is wrapped so
that it is airtight.
• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or
suspect food.
There is a layer of
frost on the appliance
walls.
• Are the air outlet vents blocked by food stored inside the refrigerator.
• Space the food out as much as possible to improve ventilation.
• Is the door fully closed?
Condensation forms
on the inside wall of
the appliance and
around vegetables.
• Food with a high water content is stored uncovered with a high
humidity level or the door has been left open for a long time.
• Store the food with a cover or in sealed containers.
