Safety information
• 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.
• It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorised
Service Person to service this appliance.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans
with a ammable propellant in this appliance.
• To avoid contamination of food, please respect the
following instructions:
- Opening the door for long periods can cause a
