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 appliance. 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 identication plate inside the appliance.

Safety information
How to minimize the energy consumption
• 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 (radiator, for example).
Safety information
- Not to block any vents or grilles is recommended for energy
efciency.
- 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 appliance open for too long when
putting food in or taking food out.
- The shorter time for which the door is open, the less ice will
form in the freezer.
- Clean the rear of the refrigerator regularly. Dust increases
energy consumption.
- Do not set temperature colder than necessary.
- Ensure sufcient air exhaust at the refrigerator base and at the
back wall of the refrigerator. Do not cover air vent openings.
- Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing.
This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.
• We recommend the value of clearance to be :
- Right, left, and back side: more than 50 mm
- Top side: more than 100 mm

Additional tips for proper usage

• In the event of a power failure, call the local ofce 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.
- 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
Safety information
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.
