Safety information
• 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 identication 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.

Safety information
Additional tips for proper usage
• In the event of a power failure, call the local ofce 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 below 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.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need
to manually defrost your appliance. This will be carried out
automatically.
• 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.

Saving Energy Tips
• 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 (a radiator, for example).
• Not to block any vents and grilles is recommended for energy
efciency.
• 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 refrigerator open for too long when
putting food in or taking food out. The shorter the time the door is
open, the less frost build-up you’ll have in the freezer.
• It is recommended to install the refrigerator with clearance to the
back and sides. This will help reduce power consumption and keep
your energy bills lower.
• For the most efcient use of energy, please keep the all inner
ttings such as baskets, drawers, shelves on the position supplied
by manufacturer.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar
applications such as
• staff kitchen areas in shops, ofces and other working
environments;
• farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential
type environments;

• Away from direct sunlight
• Adequate room for opening and closing the door
• Away from a heat source
• Room for maintenance and servicing
• Temperature range: between 5 °C and 43 °C
Effective temperature range
The refrigerator is designed to operate normally in the temperature range specied by its
class rating.

• For safety reasons, adjust the front side a little higher than the rear side.
The refrigerator can be levelled using the front legs that have a special screw (leveller) for
levelling purposes. Use a at-head screwdriver for levelling.
To adjust the height of the freezer side:
Insert a at-head screwdriver into the
leveller of the freezer-side front leg. Turn
the leveller clockwise to raise, or turn it
counter clockwise to lower.
To adjust the height of the fridge side:
Insert a at-head screwdriver into the

Reverse osmosis water ltration system
The water pressure of the water supply system to a reverse osmosis water ltration
system must be between 241 kPa and 827 kPa.
The water pressure of the reverse osmosis water ltration system to the refrigerator’s
cold water line must be at least 276 kPa. If the water pressure is below the specied:
• Check if the sediment lter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the lter
if necessary.
• Rell the water tank in the reverse osmosis system with water.
• If your refrigerator has a water lter, it may further reduce the water pressure when
used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water lter.
For more information or servicing, contact a licensed plumbing professional.
Ordering a new lter
To purchase a new water lter (part type: HAFEX/EXP), contact a local Samsung service
centre.
To mount the water lter into place
1. Attach the lock clips (x2) to appropriate
positions under the sink, for instance.
Then, x the lock clips rmly using
screws.
2. Insert the water lter into the upper
and lower clips in the correct direction.
Make sure to check the vertical
direction of the water lter.
NOTE
If the lter is installed horizontally, water
may remain in the lter. Therefore, vertical
installation is recommended.
CAUTION
Do not mount the water lter on any part
of the refrigerator. This may damage the

The refrigerator features user-oriented devices that you can use to benet from.
Water/Ice dispenser (applicable models only)
Using the dispenser, you can dispense water with or without ice.
The water dispenser offers 3 options: chilled water, cubed ice, and crushed ice. To
dispense chilled water, press Water on the dispenser panel. Put a water glass under the
dispenser, and then push the dispenser lever.
To dispense water with ice
1. With the Ice Maker enabled, press
Cubed Ice or Crushed Ice to select the
ice type.
2. Put a water glass under the dispenser,
and then push the dispenser lever with
the glass. Ice will be dispensed from the
dispenser.
3. Press Water to select water.
4. Push the dispenser lever with the
glass. Water will be dispensed from the
dispenser.
NOTE
• The dispenser will stop dispensing if you keep pushing the dispenser lever for about 1
minute. To dispense more water, release and push the lever again.
• Make sure the glass is in line with the dispenser to prevent the dispensed water from
spilling out.
• If you do not use the water dispenser for 2-3 days, the dispensed water may have an
abnormal smell or taste. This is not a system failure. Discard the rst 1-2 glasses of
water.
Ice maker (applicable models only)
The refrigerator has a built-in ice maker that automatically dispenses ice so that you can
enjoy ltered water with cubed or crushed ice.
Ice making
After you have installed your refrigerator and plugged it in, follow these instructions to
ensure proper ice making and to keep the ice bucket full of ice:
1. Let the refrigerator operate for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal performance.
2. Dispense the rst 4 to 6 ice cubes into a glass.

3. Wait another 8 hours and dispense another 4 to 6 ice cubes.
4. Then, wait another 16 hours and dispense the rst glass-full of ice.
NOTE
• If you consume all the ice at once, you must wait 8 hours before dispensing the rst 4
to 6 cubes. This ensures that the ice bucket is lled with ice properly.
• Ice cubes generated rapidly may look white, which is normal.
CAUTION
Dispense the ice according to the size of the cup.
• If you dispense excessive amount, ice may fall out on the ground and cause personal
injury.
• Ice may accumulate and block the ice chute.
To ll the water tank (applicable models only)
For rst-time use, clean the inner side of
the water tank and dry well.
1. Hold both handgrips on the front of the
tank, and slide out as shown.
A B
2. Open the front lid (A) of the cover or
the entire cover (B) and ll the tank
with a max of 5 litres water.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the max line. Water
overows.
3. Reinsert the water tank and t into the
dispenser mechanism. Make sure the
front side (with the front lid) of the tank
