KEY FEATURES OF YOUR NEW REFRIGERATOR
Your Samsung Refrigerator comes equipped with various innovative storage and energy-efficient features.

The Refrigerator and Freezer have separate evaporators. Due to this independent cooling system, the Freezer and Refrigerator cool more efficiently.
Additionally, this separate air flow system prevents food odor of one compartment from seeping into other compartments.
• Bigger & Wider Space
The wide shelf area provides enough space for larger items.
The wide freezer drawer also provides enough space for 2~3 turkeys.
• Secure Auto Close
The Secure Auto Close feature will automatically close a door that is slightly open.
•Digital Display and Temperature Control
•Door Alarm
A helpful beeper alerts you if a door is ajar.
