1. PRECAUTIONS(SAFETY WARNINGS)
● Pull the power plug out before for the change or repair of electric parts.
→ Be careful the electric shock.
● When exchanging the parts, use the correct parts.
→ Check the model name, rating voltage, rating current, running
temperature symbols.
● When troubleshooting, connect firmly the types of harness.
→ Make not to be separated when some power is imposed.
● Check the traces of water infiltration at the electric parts.
→ If there is a trace of water infiltration, exchange or tape the parts.
● Check the assemble status of parts after troubleshooting.
→ It should be done indiscriminately as before the repair.
● Check the use circumstance of refrigerator.
→ If the refrigerator is installed at the place that is damp or wet, or
status of installation is unstable, change the installation place.
● Do earth in case of need.
→ Particularly, Be sure to earth when there is a risk of an electric
leakage by humidity or wetness.
● Do not use multi plugs in a plug socket at the same time.
Check if the power cord and socket is damaged, pressed, squeezed,
or fired.
→ If the plug or plug socket is damaged, repair or exchange that
immediately.
● Do not repair the refrigerator by user himself.
● Do not store other materials except the foods.
→ Drugs or scientific materials : difficult to keep precise temperature.
→ The inflammables(alcohol, benzene, ether, LP gas, butane gas etc.):
have risk of explosion.

Unplug
Use the rated components
on the replacement.
● Check the correct model, rated
voltage, rated current, operating
temperature and so on.
On repair, make sure that the
wires such as harness are
bundled tightly.
● Bundle tightly wires in order not to be
detached by the external force and then not
to be wetted.
Check if there is any trace
indicating the permeation
of water.
● If there is that kind of trace, change
the related components or do the
necessary treatment
such as taping
using the
insulating tape.
After repair, check the
assembled state of components.
● It must be in the same assembled state
when compared with the state before
disassembly.
On repair, remove completely dust
or other things of housing parts,
harness parts, and check parts.
● Cleaning may prevent the possible fire by
tracking or short.

2. PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
●●A newly developed SAMSUNG side by side refrigerator in 2005 has the following
characteristics.
1) 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.
2) Multi-Flow System
●●Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every
shelf level. This provides even distribution of cooling
inside cabinets to keep your food fresh longer.
3) Xtra SpaceTM
●●Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer
provides space for pizza etc.
4) Door Alarm
●●Beep sound reminds you the door is open.
5) Xtra FreshTM
●●Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits
fresh.
6) Deodorizer
●●Reusable twin deodorizers keep the refrigerator air
fresh and odor free.
7) CoolSelect ZoneTM Drawer(RS267, RS269)
●●User can select Quick Cool, Thaw, for quickly chill
items, thaw items. Select Soft freeze, Chill or Cool to
control the temperature of the drawer.

3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS & INSTALLATION
3-1) Digital Panel
When the system power is initally engaged, the default set temperature are -4℉for the freezer and 38℉for the set
refrigerator, respectively. The numbers shown on the digital display panel stand for the actual compartments
temperatures. When the compartment temperatures go down, so do the numbers on the display panel, and finally they
reach the set temperatures. Once the system is stabilized, the display temperatures are the set temperature.
1) Freezer Temperature Control.
To select a set temperature, press the Freezer Temp. button. The display shows the set temperature from -14℉to
8 ℉in sequence.
2) Quick Ice Freezer Temperature Control
Interior Temperature of the freezer will be controlled with -14 degrees Fahrenheit until the ice bucket is filled up with
ice cubes. When the ice bucket is filled up with ice cubes, the freezer will run with original set temperature. Also,
whenever the ice bucket is released from being filled with ice cube, the freezer will repeat
to be controlled with -14 degrees Fahrenheit. But if you select "Ice Off, the freezer always will be controlled with
original set temperature.
3) Refrigerator Temperature Control.
To select a set temperature, press the Fridge Temp. button. The display shown the set temperature from 34℉to
46℉in sequence.
note) Because of the temperature sensor sensivity, the refrigerator can be under and/or over cooled when
the air flow is blocked by stored foods. (Temperature range of the sensor : 15℉∼80℉)
In the event of a power failure, if the freezer temperature is maintained lower than 41℉, the last
selected set temperature and functions memorized in EEPROM will be restored when the power is on.
