safely and efciently.
What you need to know about the safety
instructions
• 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 appliance 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.
• It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized
Service Person to service this appliance.

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 identication 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
signicant 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.
- Store raw meat and sh in suitable containers in the
refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto
other food.
- Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for
storing pre-frozen food, storing or making icecream and
making ice cubes.

Safety information
• To get the best energy efciency of this product, please
leave all shelves, drawers and baskets on their original
position.
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 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 energy consumption and
keep your energy bills lower.
