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.
• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If
in doubt, consult your dealer. The room must be 1 m3in 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.

Safety information
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 vent
openings.
- Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when
installing. This will help reduce power consumption and
keep your energy bills lower.

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.
• If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.
- There is a risk of electric shock of re.
• Do not use a power cord that has cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either end.
• Do not bend the power cord excessively or place heavy
objects on it.
• Do not pull or excessively bend the power cord.
• Do not twist or tie the power cord.
