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.

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.

compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or
mental capabilities, or those who lack experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
Untitled-1 6 2021-07-29  6:22:42

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.
• For the most efcient use of energy, please keep the all
inner ttings such as baskets, drawers, shelves on the

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.
• We recommend the value of clearance to be :
- Right, left, and back side: more than 50 mm
- Top side: more than 100 mm

Safety information
This appliance is intended to be used in household
and similar applications such as
- staff kitchen areas in shops, ofces and other working
environments;
- farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other
residential type environments;
- bed and breakfast type environments;
- catering and similar non-retail applications.
Additional tips for proper usage
• In the event of a power failure, call the local ofce of your
electric company and ask how long the failure is going to
last.
- Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two
will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However,
you should minimize the number of door openings
while the power is off.
- Should the power failure last more than 24 hours,
remove and discard all frozen food.
• The refrigerator might not operate consistently (frozen
contents can thaw or temperatures can become too
warm in the frozen food compartment) if sited for an
extended period of time in a location where ambient air
temperatures are constantly above the temperatures for
which the appliance is designed.
• In case of particular foods, keeping it under refrigeration
can have a bad effect on preservation due to its properties.

Safety information
• Temperature rise during defrosting complies with ISO
requirements. If you want to prevent an undue rise in the
temperature of frozen food while the appliance defrosts,
wrap the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed
completely.
• The temperature of two star section (sections) or
compartment (compartments) which have two star symbol
( ) is slightly higher than other freezer compartment
(compartments). The two star section (sections) or
compartment (compartments) is (are) based on the
instruction and/or the condition as delivered.

Severe warnings
WARNING
• Connect the power plug in the proper position with the
cord hanging down.
• Do not insert the power plug into a wall socket with wet
hands.
• If the wall socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.
Plug the power plug into the wall socket rmly.
