However, you should minimize the number of door
openings while the power is off.
But should the power failure last more than
24hours, remove all frozen food.
For doors or lids fitted with locks and keys, the
keys be kept out of the reach of children and not in
the vicinity of the refrigerating appliance, in order to
prevent children from being locked inside.
ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER
USAGE
Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after•

To get best performance of product,•
Do not place foods too closely in front of-
the vents at the rear of the appliance as it
can obstruct free air circulation in the freezer
compartment.
Wrap the food up properly or place it in airtight-
containers before put it into the fridge freezer
Do not put any newly introduced food for-
freezing near to already frozen food.
There is no need to disconnect the refrigerator•
from the power supply if you will be away for
less than three weeks.
But, remove all the food if you are going away
for three weeks or more. Unplug the refrigerator
and clean it, rinse and dry.
The appliance might not operate consistently•
(possibility of defrosting of contents or
temperature becoming too warm in the frozen
food compartment) when sited for an extended
period of time below the cold end of the range
of temperatures for which the refrigerating
appliance is designed.
Do not store food which goes bad easily at low•
temperature, such as bananas, melons.
Place the ice tray at the originally provided•
posistion by manufacturer in order to achieve
optimal ice-freezing.
Your appliance is frost free, which means there•
is no need to manually defrost your appliance,
as this will be carried out automatically.
Temperature rising during the defrost can•
comply with ISO requirement.
But If you want to prevent an undue rise in the
temperature of the frozen food while defrosting
the appliance, please wrap the frozen food in
several layers of paper such as newspaper.
Any increase in temperature of frozen food•
during defrosting can shorten its storage life.
Saving Energy Tips
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).
Never block any vents or grilles on the-
appliance.
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 sufficient 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.

Larger Capacity
The Samsung Side by side
Refrigerator has plenty of
space for all your groceries,
beverages,frozen foods and
leftovers.
It’s the perfect size for
any occasion - holiday
celebration, family reunion or
Super Bowl party.
Flavor Chamber – Now more advanced
than ever, thanks to meat-aging mode.
Featuring Zipel’s exclusive
food storage technology, the
Flavor Chamber locks in the
stored food’s moisture so that
it stays fresh and nutritious
for longer.
The Flavor Chamber also
utilizes a special meat-aging
algorithm developed in conjunction with the Korea
Advanced Food Research Institute.
Kimchi/Shikhye mode maintains a temperature of
-1ºC inside the chamber ensuring that the stored
food stays fresh; Flavor Defrost mode lets you
defrost food without sacrificing its flavor; Rapid
Refrigeration lets you refrigerate food quickly; and
Refrigerate mode frees up more storage space
inside the refrigerator.
LED Tower Lighting
This space-saving LED fixture
illuminates every corner of the
fridge, so things are easier to
find.
Also LED emits less heat than
conventional bulb lighting,
affecting less damage to the
temperature management.
Surround Multi Air Outlets
Cooling air flows out through
multiple outlets in every shelf
level.
This provides even cooling
throughout the refrigerator,
and quickly returns back to
temperature when the door
has been opened.
So it maintains an ideal temperature to keep your
food fresh longer.
Twin Cooling System
The refrigerator and the
freezer have two evaporators.
Given this independent
system, the freezer and
the refrigerator are cooled
individually as required and
are, therefore, more efficient.
Food odor from the
refrigerator does not affect food in the freezer due
to separate air flow circulation.
Disinfecting and Deodorizing Fresh
Doctor
Your refrigerator features
SPi - 2 (Samsung Super
Plasma Ion II) technology,
which eliminates airborne
and surface bacteria inside
the refrigeration chamber,
as well as a solar power
deodorizer that delivers twice
the deodorizing power.

fish fresh for longer.
Thaw
When “Thaw” is selected, warm and cold air is
alternately blown into the CoolSelect Zone™
Drawer. Depending on the weight of the frozen
food, you can select a 4 hrs, 6 hrs, 10 hrs, and 12
hrs thawing time.
When “Thaw” ends, food is in a half-frozen state,
making it easy to cut for cooking.
In addition, when “Thaw” ends, the CoolSelect
Zone™ Drawer returns to the original “0 Zone”
condition. To cancel this function mid-cycle, just
press any button besides “Thaw”.
Here are the approximate thawing times of meat
and fish by weight (and based on a 25.4mm (1in.)
thickness). This chart represents the total weight of
food in the CoolSelect Zone™ Drawer.
THAW TIME WEIGHT
4hours 363g (0.8Ib)
6hours 590g (1.3Ib)
10hours 771g (1.7Ib)
12hours 1000g (2.2Ib)
Quick Cool
You can use the “Quick Cool” operation with the
CoolSelect Zone™ Drawer to quickly cool 1~3
canned beverages in about an hour.
When the “Quick Cool” process ends, the
CoolSelect Zone™ Drawer automatically returns to
the previously set temperature.
To cancel this operation, press the Quick Cool
button again and the CoolSelect Zone™ Drawer
returns to the previously set temperature.
Cool
When “Cool” is selected, the temperature in the
CoolSelect Zone™ Drawer will be the same as the
overall temperature setting of the refrigerator.
The drawer digital panel shows the same
temperature as that of the refrigerator display
panel. Since the “Cool” function mimics the
refrigerator temperature, you have extra general
storage space.
Depending on the size and thickness of
the meat or fish, thawing times may vary.
When “Thaw” is in operation, any items
that you do not want affected should be
moved out of the drawer.

CHANGING THE INTERIOR
LIGHTS
Do not disassemble or replace the LED
type Lighting.
To change the LED Type Lighting contact
Samsung service center or your authorised
Samsung dealer.
USING THE DOORS
The refrigerator doors are equipped with a door
opening and closing feature that ensures that the
doors close all the way and are securely sealed.
After opening beyond a certain point, the door will
“catch” and remain open.
When the door is ajar ahead of the catch that
allows it to stay open, it will close automatically.
TO IMPROVE THE COOLING
PERFORMANCE
If the cold air outlet is blocked by food
items, the cold air cannot penetrate the
entire compartment and will be unable to
freeze the food efficiently which results in a
degraded cooling performance.
In particular, there is load limit at the top of
the freezing compartment. Please do not
put food items above this limit.
FEATURES OF THE FRESH
DOCTOR
Each time you open and close the refrigerator•
door, invisible airborne germs make their way
inside your refrigerator.
These germs attach themselves to the walls
and surfaces inside the refrigerator and even
float around inside the refrigerator.
Fresh Doctor, which features advanced SPi - 2
(Super Plasma Ion ll) technology, eliminates
these germs effectively.
Fresh Doctor also features a solar power•
deodorizer with more than twice the standard
deodorization power.
Fresh Doctor remains active at all times and can
be used semi-permanently without the need to
replace or clean its parts.

04 TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The refrigerator
does not work at
all or it does not
chill sufficiently.
Check that the power plug is properly connected.•
Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature?•
Try setting it to a lower temperature.
Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located too near a heat source?•
Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from•
circulating?
The food in the
fridge is frozen.
Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature?•
Try setting it to a warmer temperature.
Is the temperature in the room very low?•
Did you store the food with a high water content in the coldest part of the fridge?•
Try moving those items into the body of the fridge instead of keeping them in the
CoolSelect Zone™ drawer.
You hear unusual
noises or sounds.
Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.•
Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from•
circulating?
Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?•
A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. This is normal and occurs•
because various accessories are contracting or expanding in relation to the
temperature of the refrigerator interior.
The front corners
of the appliance
are hot and
condensation is
occurring.
Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the front corners of the•
refrigerator to prevent condensation.
Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open•
for a long time.
You can hear water
bubbling in the
refrigerator.
This is normal. The bubbling comes from the refrigerant coolant liquid circulating•
through the refrigerator.
There is a bad
smell in the
refrigerator.
Has a food item spoiled?•
Make sure that strong smelling food (for example, fish) is wrapped so that it is airtight.•
Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspect food.•
Frost forms on the
walls of the freezer.
Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.•
Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient air circulation.•
Is the freezer door closed properly?•
