Safety information
Before using your new Samsung Refrigerator, please read this manual thoroughly to ensure
that you know how to operate the features and functions that your new appliance offers
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 fridge 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.

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.

storing pre-frozen food, storing or making icecream and
making ice cubes.
