• 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 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.

Safety information
• 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.
• To avoid contamination of food, please respect the
following instructions:
- Opening the door for long periods can cause a
signicant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
- Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with
food and accessible drainage systems.
- Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 h;
ush the water system connected to a water supply if
water has not been drawn for 5 days.

the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• The socket must be easily accessible so that the appliance
can be quickly disconnected from the supply in an
emergency.
- It must be outside the area of the rear of the appliance.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans
with a ammable propellant in this appliance.
• If the product is equipped with LED lamps, do not
disassemble the Lamp Covers and LED lamps yourself.
- Contact a Samsung service center.
- Use only the LED Lamps provided by the manufacturer
or its service agents.
• For the most efcient use of energy, please keep the all
inner ttings such as baskets, drawers, shelves on the
position supplied by manufacturer.

Untitled-1 8Untitled-1 8 2024-07-04() 1:51:302024-07-04() 1:51:30
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).
- Not to block any vents or 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 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 sufcient 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 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.
- 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.

Do you hear abnormal sounds from the refrigerator?
Before calling for service, review the checkpoints below. Any service calls related to
normal sounds will be charged to the user.
These sounds are normal.
• When starting or ending an operation, the refrigerator may make sounds similar to a
car engine igniting. As the operation stabilizes, the sounds will decrease.
• While the fan is operating, these sounds may occur. When the refrigerator reaches the
set temperature, no fan sound will occur.
Troubleshooting
• During a defrost cycle, water may drip on the defrost heater, causing sizzling sounds.
