or nd help and information online at www.samsung.com.
• 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.
• It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorised
Service Person to service this appliance.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans
with a ammable propellant in this appliance.
• To avoid contamination of food, please respect the
following instructions:

• Please dispose of the packaging material from this product
in an environmentally friendly manner.
• Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the
refrigerator are damaged prior to disposal.
• 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 freezer to see which refrigerant is used for
your refrigerator. If this refrigerator contains ammable
gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local authority in
regard to safe disposal of this product.
• When disposing of this refrigerator, remove the door/
door seals and door latch so that small children or
animals cannot become trapped inside. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance. If trapped inside, a child may get hurt or
suffocate to death.
- If trapped inside, the child may become injury and
suffocate to death.
• Cyclopentane is used in the insulation. The gases in the
insulation material require a special disposal procedure.
Please contact your local authorities in regard to the
environmentally safe disposal of this product.
• Keep all packaging materials well out of the reach of
children, as packaging materials can be dangerous to
children.
- If a child places a bag over his or her head, the child
could suffocate.

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.

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.

To dispense ice manually
1. Pull up the handle of the water bin (01)
to open, and then ll the bin with water
up to the max line. Gently close the bin
so that water does not drop or leak.
CAUTION
• Do not exceed the max line. Excessive
water causes the ice to jam and not
dispense well.
• Use only potable water. Other liquids,
such as green tea or milk may not
dispense well.
• Gently close the water bin. Otherwise,
the water may drop or leak.
NOTE
• If you encounter a water leak, open the
water bin and check if the water bin’s
passage to the ice template is frozen. If
this is the case, pour lukewarm water
into the water bin up to the max line.
Let the passage melt.
• It is recommended to clean the water
bin’s passage to the ice template on a
regular basis because the passage is
likely to freeze.
2. Check if the ice freezes completely. Only
when the ice has frozen completely, pull
up the ice maker lever (02). Then, the ice
template (04) rotates and dispenses ice
to the ice bucket (03).
CAUTION
• Do not pull up the lever until the ice has
frozen completely. Half-frozen ice may
jam and damage the ice bucket.

CAUTION
• Do not tilt without lifting the ice bucket. The ice bucket may break.
• Do not pour water directly into the ice bucket for ice making. The ice bucket may break.
• Do not leave the freezer door open. The ice in the ice bucket melts and jams.
• In case of a power failure, make sure to empty the ice bucket before making ice.
• Use only potable water.
NOTE
• The ice cubes may not dispense at once, depending on the ice state. In this case, try
pulling the lever several times.
• If the ice does not dispense because an excessive amount of water was lled, remove

Troubleshooting
• As the refrigerator cools or freezes, refrigerant gas moves through sealed pipes, causing
bubbling sounds.
Bubbling!
• As the refrigerator temperature increases or decreases, plastic parts contract and
expand, creating knocking noises. These noises occur during the defrosting cycle or
when electronic parts are working.
Cracking!
• For ice maker models: When the water valve opens to ll the ice maker, buzzing sounds
may occur.
• Due to pressure equalizing when opening and closing the refrigerator door, whooshing

Temperature Instruction
Recommended Temperature
The optimal temperature setting for food storage:
• Freezer: -19 °C
• Fridge of Freezer: 3 °C
NOTE
The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient
temperature. Above optimal temperature is based on the ambient temperature of 25 °C.
Power Cool
Power Cool speeds up the cooling process at maximum fan speed. The fridge keeps running
at full speed for two and a half hours and then returns to the previous temperature.
Power Freeze
Power Freeze speeds up the freezing process at maximum fan speed. The freezer keeps
running at full speed for 50 hours and then returns to the previous temperature. To freeze
large amounts of food, activate Power Freeze for at least 20 hours before putting food in
the freezer.
NOTE
When you use this function the energy consumption of the refrigerator will increase.
Remember to turn it off when you don’t need it and return the freezer to your original
temperature setting.
How to store for best preservation (applicable models only)
Cover foods to retain moisture and prevent them from picking up odors from other foods.
A large pot of food like soup or stew should be divided into small portions and put in
shallow containers before being refrigerated. A large cut of meat or whole poultry should
be divided into smaller pieces or placed in shallow containers before refrigerating.
Placement of Foods
Shelves Shelves should be adjustable to accommodate a variety of
packages.
Specialized compartment
(applicable models only)
Sealed crisper drawers provide an optimal storage
environment for fruits and vegetables. Vegetables require
higher humidity conditions while fruits require lower
humidity conditions.
Crispers are equipped with controls devices to control
the humidity level. (*Depending on model and options)
An adjustable temperature meat drawer maximizes the
storage time of meats and cheeses.
