FEATURES
Energy-saving fridge/freezer
• Power consumption is kept to a minimum by
distributing cool air separately to the refrigerator and freezer.
Faster cooling times
• The quick freezing function allow you to freeze
food more quickly.
High humidity for fresher food
• You can keep food, fruit and vegetables fresh
for longer because your refrigerator supplies
highly humidified cold air. This can be up to
four or five times more effective than a normal
refrigerator.
Door alarm
• When the refrigerator door is left open for
more than two minutes, a musical alarm is
automatically triggered. This feature helps you
save electricity and preserve stored foods.
Abundant supply of ice and cold water
• The ice and water dispenser provides ice and
cold water at any time.
Extra refrigerating compartment
• You do not have to open the main door to
access frequently used food in the extra
refrigerating compartment. This saves time
and money.
What is the H. M. Cycle (High-efficiency,
Multi-evaporator Cycle)?
•
The refrigerator and freezer have separate
evaporators. Given this independent
system, the refrigerator and freezer are
cooled individually as required and are,
therefore, more efficient.
Food odour from the refrigerator does not
affect food in the freezer because the two
are not connected.

INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
Allow a clearance of 1 cm to the right, left and back when installing the appliance; this has the advantage
of reducing power consumption.
Allow sufficient space to install
the appliance on a flat surface.
If your appliance is not level, the
•
internal cooling system may not
work correctly.
Store food in the refrigerator.
Wait for at least two or three hours after plugging
•
your appliance in before storing food and other
items in it.
Clean your fridge/freezer.
Wipe the inside and outside of
•
your fridge/freezer with a dry
cloth.
LEVELLING
When you adjust the level of the fridge/freezer, set the front legs slightly higher than the rear legs, so
that you can open and close the door more easily.
First disassemble the leg cover and then adjust the level of the fridge/freezer.
If your fridge/freezer tilts to the
left, turn the left adjusting
screw.
4
If your fridge/freezer tilts to the
right, turn the right adjusting
screw.
EARTHING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
The appliance must be earthed.
You must earth the fridge/freezer to prevent any power leakage or electric shock caused by current leakage from the appliance.
Never use gas pipes, telephone lines or other potential lightning rods as earths.
•
You are using a power plug without earth.
Connect one end of the earthing wire (yellow/green or
•
green) to the earthing screw and the other end to a steel or
copper pipe, such as a water pipe.

Once you have performed the following steps, your fridge/freezer should be fully operational.
If not, check the power supply and electricity source. If you have any doubts or problems, contact your SAMSUNG service centre.
Place the shelves and containers which
were removed for transport in their
appropriate positions (refer to pages
10 to 12).
Clean the fridge/freezer and accessories to remove any dust that accumulated during packing and shipping
(refer to page 13).
When the refrigerator is plugged in, the
interior light should come on each time
you open the refrigerator door.
Your fridge/freezer is operated by a compressor
which switchs “on and off” to maintain the internal
temperature. When the compressor is new, it
requires a running-in period, which can last for up
to five months. During this period, it may be slightly
noisy. This is quite normal and does not represent
a fault.
Set the temperature control to the coldest temperature and wait for one hour.
The freezer should get slightly chilled
and the motor should run smoothly
producing a soft humming noise.
Once the refrigerator temperature is
sufficiently low, you can store food in
the appliance.
It takes a few hours after starting the
fridge/freezer to reach the appropriate
temperature.
