1. PRECAUTIONS(SAFETY WARNINGS)
●Due to the risk of electric shock, be sure to unplug the unit before servicing.
●Use the right electronic equipment for your new Refrigerator.
󳦧Make sure to check out the right model name, rated voltage and current, operating
temperature, etc.
●Upon repair, make sure that harnesses are not to be water-penetrated and are bundled tight.
󳦧Should not be detached by a certain amount of external force.
●Upon repair, completely remove dust or other foreign substances from housing, harness,
connector, etc.
󳦧To prevent fire by tracking, short, etc.
●After repair, check out the assembled state of parts.
󳦧It should be the same as the previous state.
●Check out the surrounding conditions.
󳦧Change the location, if the fridge is located at humid, wet places or the installed state is
unstable.
●If needed, ground the fridge.
󳦧Especially, if there is a possibility of electric leakage, ground is indispensable.
●Do not allow consumers to overload a certain outlet.
●Check out whether the power cord or the outlet is broken, squeezed, chopped off or heat-
deformed.
󳦧Repair or replace the defective power cord/outlet immediately.
󳦧Make sure the power cord is not punctuated or stomped down.
●Do not allow consumers to keep food unstable or place bottles in the Freezer Room.

●●A newly developed SAMSUNG bottom mount freezer in 2008 has the following
characteristics.
2-1) Introduction of Main Function

Surround Multi Flow
●Uniform cooling for each shelf and even in corner in
fresh food compartment by center positioned fan
and duct with multiple flow effluences.
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.
Moving Tray
●The Deli Drawer can be moved side to side for
customer improved customer satisfaction.
Digital Display & Temperature Control
●Digital Display & Temperature Control look and feel
neat & clear design.

3. DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs.
• Do not dissemble or repair the refrigerator by yourself.
- It may cause risk of causing a fire, malfunction and/or personal injury.
• Remove any foreign matter or dust from the power plug pins.
- Otherwise there is a risk of fire.
• Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
• Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple power board. The refrigerator should always be
plugged into its own individual electrical which has a voltage rating that matched the rating plate.
- This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which could
cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
• Do not install the refrigerator in a damp place or place where it may come in contact with water.
- Deteriorated insulation of electrical parts may cause an electric shock or fire.
• The refrigerator must be grounded.
- You must ground the refrigerator to prevent any power leakages or electric shocks caused by current
leakage from the refrigerator.
• Do not put bottles or glass containers in the freezer.
- When the contents freeze, the glass may break and cause personal injury.
• Do not store volatile or flammable substances in the refrigerator.
- The storage of benzene, thinner, alcohol, ether, LP gas and other such products may cause
explosions.
