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 m

3

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.

not trapped or damaged.

• Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable

power supplies at the rear of the appliance.

• Fill with potable water only.

• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in

the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

• Do not use mechanical devices or any other means

to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those

recommended by the manufacturer.

• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

• Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage

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-3 6 2020-10-07 PM 3:29:26

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

position supplied by manufacturer.

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.
