Safety information
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.
• 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.
• 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.

• Do not plug several appliances into the same multiple
power strip. The refrigerator should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the voltage listed on the refrigerator’s
rating plate.

overloading of house wiring circuits, which could cause
a re hazard from overheated wires.
• If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.

cord. Always grip the plug rmly and pull straight out from
the outlet.
- Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, re, and/
or electric shock.
