KEY FEATURES OF YOUR NEW REFRIGERATOR

Your Samsung Refrigerator comes equipped with various innovative storage and energy-efficient features.

• Twin Cooling System

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.

For easy future reference, write the model and serial number down. You will find your model number and serial number on the left side of the refrigerator.

GETTING READY TO INSTALL THE REFRIGERATOR

Congratulations on your purchase of this Samsung Refrigerator. We hope you enjoy the state-of-art features and efficiencies that this new appliance offers.

150mm

Selecting the best location for the Refrigerator

•A location with easy access to the water supply.

•A location without direct exposure to sunlight.

	•	A	location with level (or nearly level) flooring.
	•	A	location with enough space for the Refrigerator doors to open 100mm	100mm
		easily.
	•	Allow sufficient space for air circulation of the internal cooling system.
		If the Refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling
		system may not work properly.		1249.0mm	1504.0mm
	First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your Refrigerator to its final
	location by measuring doorways (both width and height), thresholds, ceilings,
	stairways, etc.

The following chart details the exact height and depth of Samsung
Refrigerator.
		1368.5mm
Model	RL62**	RL67**
Width (mm)	817
with door	715	765
Depth (mm)
without door	628	678
Height (mm)	1778

•Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

•If you install the Refrigerator where is below 10ºC, it may not function in optimum level.

When moving your refrigerator

Refer to ‘Leveling the refrigerator’ in the manual (on page 17)

Screwdriver(-) Control Lever

FLOORING

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the flooring. This surface should be strong enough to

support a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 106kg.

To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator where you are working. When moving the refrigerator, be sure to pull it straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in.
