supervision.
• Warnings and Important Safety Instructions in this manual do not cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur.
It is your responsibility to use common sense, caution, and care when installing,
maintaining, and operating your appliance.
• Because these following operating instructions cover various models, the
characteristics of your refrigerator may differ slightly from those described in this
manual and not all warning signs may be applicable. If you have any questions or
concerns, contact your nearest service center or nd help and information online at
www.samsung.com.
• R-600a or R-134a is used as a refrigerant. Check the compressor label on the rear of
the appliance or the rating label inside the fridge to see which refrigerant is used for
your refrigerator. When this product contains ammable gas (Refrigerant R-600a),
contact your local authority in regard to safe disposal of this product.
• In order to avoid the creation of a ammable 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 1 m³ in size for every 8 g of R-600a refrigerant inside the
appliance.
The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identication
plate inside the appliance.
• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. When
refrigerant leaks from the pipe, avoid any naked ames and move anything ammable
away from the product and ventilate the room immediately.
- Failing to do so may result in re or explosion.
• It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorised Service Person to service this
appliance. In Queensland – the authorized Service Person MUST hold a Gas Work

Critical disposal warnings
WARNING
• Please dispose of the packaging material from this product in an environmentally
friendly manner.
• Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the refrigerator are damaged prior to
disposal.
• R-600a or R-134a is used as a refrigerant. Check the compressor label on the rear of
the appliance or the rating label inside the fridge to see which refrigerant is used for
your refrigerator. If this refrigerator contains ammable gas (Refrigerant R-600a),
contact your local authority in regard to safe disposal of this product.
• When disposing of this refrigerator, remove the door/door seals and door latch so that
small children or animals cannot become trapped inside. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. If trapped inside, a child may get
hurt or suffocate to death.
- If trapped inside, the child may become injury and suffocate to death.
• Cyclopentane is used in the insulation. The gases in the insulation material require
a special disposal procedure. Please contact your local authorities in regard to the
environmentally safe disposal of this product.
• Keep all packaging materials well out of the reach of children, as packaging materials
can be dangerous to children.
- If a child places a bag over his or her head, the child could suffocate.
Additional tips for proper usage
• In the event of a power failure, call the local ofce of your electric company and ask
how long the failure is going to last.
- 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.
English12
Untitled-25 12 2016-01-27 7:16:10
Page 13
- Should the power failure last more than 24 hours, remove and discard all frozen
food.
• The refrigerator might not operate consistently (frozen contents can thaw or
temperatures can become too warm in the frozen food compartment) if sited for an
extended period of time in a location where ambient air temperatures are constantly
below the temperatures for which the appliance is designed.
• In case of particular foods, keeping it under refrigeration can have a bad effect on
preservation due to its properties.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost your
appliance. This will be carried out automatically.
• Temperature rise during defrosting complies with ISO requirements. If you want to
prevent an undue rise in the temperature of frozen food while the appliance defrosts,
wrap the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.
Saving Energy Tips
• Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation. Ensure that it is not
exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (a radiator, for
example).
• Not to block any vents and grilles is recommended for energy efciency.
• Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.
• Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. You can then use the low temperatures of
the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
• Do not keep the door of the refrigerator open for too long when putting food in or
taking food out. The shorter the time the door is open, the less frost build-up you’ll
have in the freezer.
• It is recommended to install the refrigerator with clearance to the back and sides. This
will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.
• For the most efcient use of energy, please keep the all inner ttings such as baskets,
drawers, shelves on the position supplied by manufacturer.

• Make sure the refrigerator has enough room from the rear
and side walls or the cabinet. Failing to do so may affect the
cooling performance.
• Too much food may block the ventilation of the refrigerator.
To keep the refrigerator in normal operation, do not put too
much food inside.
• Check if the temperature control is set to the lowest
temperature. If so, change the temperature to higher or
optimal.
• This happens if the ambient temperature is too low. Set the
temperature higher.
• Check if food containing a high portion of water is put in the
coldest area of the fridge or near the cooling vent. If this
happens, move the food to other shelves in the fridge.
• Make sure the refrigerator is installed on a stable, at
surface.
• Make sure the refrigerator has enough room from the rear
and side walls or the cabinet.
• Make sure to keep the refrigerator from impurities or foreign
objects inside or underneath.
• The refrigerator may produce a ticking sound from inside,
which occurs when the various removable parts contract or

temperature rises, this equipment may not work effectively.
This is not a system failure.
• Condensation may form on the exterior surface of the
refrigerator if humid air comes into contact with the cool
surface of the refrigerator.
• You must wait for 12 hours until the refrigerator makes ice.
• Make sure the ice maker is not stopped while making ice.
• Make sure the freezer is set below 0 °C (or -5 °C in warm
ambient air).
• Make sure the water tank is lled with water.
• Check if the water tank is frozen. If so, select a higher fridge
temperature.
• Make sure the water tank is lled with water.
• Make sure the water tank is installed properly.
• Make sure the water lter is installed properly.
• The refrigerator makes this sound during the cooling process,
which is normal.
• Check for any spoiled food. We recommend cleaning the
refrigerator on a regular basis and remove any spoiled or
suspect food items.
• Make sure strong smelling food is wrapped up airtight.
• Make sure no food blocks the vents of the refrigerator. It is
also important to arrange food items evenly for ventilation.
• Make sure the door is closed properly.
• This happens when food containing a high portion of water is
stored uncovered, or the door has been left open for a while.
• Make sure food is covered or put in sealed containers.
