Congratulations on your purchase of this Samsung Refrigerator. We hope you enjoy the state-of-art features and  
efficiencies that this new appliance offers.  
Selecting the best location for the Refrigerator  
• A location with easy access to the water supply.  
• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.  
• A location with level (or nearly level) flooring.  
• A location with enough space for the Refrigerator doors to open easily.  
• Allow sufficient space to the right, left, back and top for air circulation.  
If the Refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling  
system may not work properly.  
• Please ensure that appliance can be moved freely in the event of  
maintenance & service.  
First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your Refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways  
(both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.

FLOORING  
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level  
surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the  
flooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully  
loaded refrigerator, or approximately 223lbs(106kg). To protect  
the finish of the flooring, cut a large section of the cardboard  
carton and place under the refrigerator where you are working.  
When moving the refrigerator, be sure to pull it straight out and  
return it to position by pushing it straight in.

The Samsung Refrigerator has been designed to provide you with maximum space saving features and  
functions. Here are some of the customized compartments we have created to keep your food fresher longer. In  
order to further prevent odor from seeping into the ice compartment, stored food should be wrapped securely  
and as airtight as possible.  
Can be used to store small dairy items like butter or margarine, yogurt  
or cream cheese bricks  
Moving Tray  
butter/cheese  
Designed to handle large, bulky items such as gallons of milk or other  
large bottles and containers.  
Bottle Bin  
Designed to be crack-resistant, the shelves can be used to store all  
types of food and drinks. Circular marks on the glass surface are a  
normal phenomenon and can usually be wiped clean with a damp cloth.  
Fridge Shelves  
Used for preserving the freshness of your stored vegetables and fruits.  
This drawer has been specifically designed to control the level of  
humidity within the compartment. Keep vegetables and fruits separate  
when possible.  
Vegetable & Fruit  
Drawers  
Do not place any large articles of food under the lamp in the Refrigerator. An air sensor is located  
near the lamp and if the sensor is blocked, your Refrigerator may become too cold. Please place  
Vegetable and Fruits in the Vegetable and Fruits Drawers to avoid freezing them. If the food in  
your Refrigerator becomes frozen, please set the temperature higher.  
stoRing fooD in tHE fREEzER DRawER

door is opened.  
If you plan to go away for a long time, empty the Refrigerator and turn it off. Wipe the excess  
moisture from the inside of the appliance and leave the doors open. This helps keep odor and  
mold from developing.
