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.
• 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
• 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.
- Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing
pre-frozen food, storing or making icecream and making ice
cubes.
- One-, two- and three-star compartments are not suitable for the
freezing of fresh food.

Safety information
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children
shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children without supervision. Children aged
from 3 to 8 years are allowed to load and unload 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.
- It must be outside the area of the rear of the appliance.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a
ammable propellant in this appliance.
• If the product is equipped with LED lamps, do not disassemble the
Lamp Covers and LED lamps yourself.
- Contact a Samsung service center.
- Use only the LED Lamps provided by the manufacturer or its
service agents.
• New hose-sets supplied with the appliance are to be used and old
hose-sets should not be reused.
• Have the refrigerator’s water supply connected only to a potable
water supply. To operate the ice maker properly, water pressure
of 206-861 kPa (30-125 psi) is required.
• For the most efcient use of energy, please keep the all inner
ttings such as baskets, drawers, shelves on the position supplied

Safety information
• 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 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.

Usage cautions
CAUTION
• Do not refreeze thawed food.
- Frozen and thawed food will develop harmful bacteria faster
than fresh.
- The second thaw will break down even more cells, leaching out
moisture and changing the integrity of the product.
• Do not thaw meat at room temperature.
- Safety will depend on whether the raw product was handled
properly.
• Do not place glass bottles or carbonated beverages into the
freezer.
- The container may freeze and break, and this may result in
injury.

• If you will be away from home for a long period of time (on
vacation, for example) and won’t be using the water or ice
dispensers, close the water valve.
- Otherwise, water leakage may occur.
• If you won’t be using the refrigerator for a very long period of
time, (3 weeks or more) empty the refrigerator including the ice
bucket, unplug it, close the water valve, wipe excess moisture
from the inside walls, and leave the doors open to prevent odors
and mold.
• To get the best performance from the product:
- Do not place food too close to the vents at the rear of the
refrigerator as this can obstruct free air circulation in the
refrigerator compartment.
