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.

refrigerating appliances.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• The socket must be easily accessible so that the appliance
can be quickly disconnected from the supply in an
emergency.

Safety information
• For the most efcient use of energy, please keep the all
inner ttings such as baskets, drawers, shelves on the
position supplied by manufacturer.
• 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

Severe warning signs for transportation and site
WARNING
• When transporting and installing the appliance, care should
be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit
are damaged.
- Refrigerant leaking from the pipe work could ignite
or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any
naked ames or potential sources of ignition and air
the room in which the appliance is standing for several
minutes.
Untitled-8 9 2023-02-22  4:51:58

Safety information

Safety information
- This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane
refrigerant (R-600a), a natural gas with high
environmental compatibility that is, however, also
combustible. When transporting and installing the
appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts
of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.
• When transporting and installing the refrigerator, do not
touch the water hose on the back side of the refrigerator.
- This may damage the refrigerator and as a result the
water dispenser can not be used.
Critical installation warnings
WARNING
• Do not install the refrigerator in a damp location or place
where it may come in contact with water.
- Deteriorated insulation on electrical parts may cause an
electric shock or re.
• Do not place this refrigerator in direct sunlight or expose it
to the heat from stoves, room heaters, or other appliances.
• 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.
- This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading of house wiring circuits, which could cause
a re hazard from overheated wires.
