PREPARING THE FRIDGE / FREEZER
To prepare your appliance for use and check that it is running correctly, take the following steps.
Install all shelves and compartments
removed during transport and place them in
the correct position.
The interior light of the appliance will light
up when the door is open.
This interior light will go out when the door
is closed.
You are advised to clean the appliance and
accessories before switching the appliance
on for the first time to remove any dust that
accumulated during packing and shipping.
Your appliance is operated by a compressor
which switches “on and off” to maintain the
internal temperature. When the compressor
is new, it requires running for a period of up
to five months. During this period, it may be
slightly noisy. This is quite normal and does
not represent a fault.
Switch on the appliance for approximately 2
hours before loading it with frozen food for
the first time. Do not load with frozen food
until the freezer temperature is at least 0°F.
If you want to store frozen food as soon as
possible, set the temperature control to the
coldest temperature (-14°F) and let the
appliance operate for one hour.
Store food once the temperature in the
refrigerator is sufficiently low. It takes a few
hours after starting the refrigerator to reach
the proper temperature.
If the appliance does not operate correctly,
check the electricity supply. If the problem
persists, contact your dealer.
The appliance is preset for normal
operation. We recommend temperatures of
38°F in the fridge and -2°F in the freezer.

STORING FOOD INTHE FRIDGE OR FREEZER
When storing food in the appliance, follow the
recommendations below.
• Allow warm food and beverages to cool down before
storing them in the appliance.
A. Fridge
• Ensure that food is well-wrapped or covered before it is
stored. This will prevent food from dehydrating,
deteriorating in color or losing flavor and will help
maintain freshness. Fruits and vegetables do not need
to wrapped, provided that they are stored in the fridge
vegetable drawers.
Avoid wrapping the food with paper as it may cause
odors. We recommend plastic wrap or foil.
• Never let any oil or grease come into contact with the
plastic fittings or door seals, as these materials easily
become porous.
• Never store any explosive substances inside the
appliance. High-proof alcohol should only be stored
upright in tightly sealed containers.
• Please keep the space between the shelf and the rear
wall of the enclosed space of the cabinet a 1/2 inch
apart for air circulation.
Transparent, unbreakable shelves
• Place food in storage containers and lay the items out at suitable
intervals.
• The storage shelf is made from an unbreakable, transparent material,
so that you can safely use it .
Humidity controlled drawers
• Fruit and Vegetables can be stored in these compartments.
• The drawers can be removed if you need more space to store fruit and
vegetables.
• To maintain high humidity, slide the humidity control lever to the
“HIGH” side.
Multi-purpose door guard and egg bin
• The fridge is the warmest in the front, at the top and in the door.
• You can store small packaged foods, like milk, yogurt and beverages
here.
Bottle door guard
• You can store small bottles, cartons of beer, milk and juice in the upper
area and large bottles and gallon cartons in the lower area.

STORING FOOD INTHE FRIDGE OR FREEZER
B. Freezer
Freezer drawer
• You can store packed frozen foods, like ice cream and
bacon.
• You can store meat and fish or dried foods divided into
suitably sized portions.
• Can be used to store meat and dry foods. Stored food
should be wrapped securely using foil or other suitable
wrapping materials or containers.
Upper freezer drawer
Lower freezer drawer
Wrapping food
Pack the food in suitably sized portions for your household.
Vegetable and fruit portions should be no heavier than 2 pounds, while meat portions can be up to 5.5 lbs.
Smaller portions freeze quickly and the quality is better maintained when defrosting and preparing the food.
It is important to seal food in airtight bags or containers before freezing to prevent it from losing its taste or dehydrating.
Wrap the food, then press out any air and seal it airtight.
Note
Suitable wrapping materials:
Plastic bags, cling-film, aluminium foil and freezer containers.
Unsuitable wrapping materials:
Wrapping paper, wax paper, cellophane, bin bags or used carrier bags.
These can cause odors.
Suitable sealing materials:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, freezer tape or similar.
Plastic film and bags may be heat-sealed using a special sealing iron or press.
Before placing a package in the freezer, it should be clearly labelled with the contents and the date of freezing.
Danger of explosion
• Glass bottles containing liquids that can freeze should never be stored in the freezer as the glass will explode.
Warning
ICE MAKER
The ice maker will produce 8 cubes per cycle – approximately 100~130 cubes in a
24-hour period, depending on freezer compartment temperature, room temperature,
number of door openings and other use conditions.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the feeler arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the feeler arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
After the icemaker has been turned on again, there will be a time delay before the
icemaker resumes operations.
It is normal for several cubes to be joined together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will become cloudy, taste stale and shrink.
So if you don't want to make ice, press the Ice Off button.
Feeler Arm
• The refrigerator can only use ice makers which are made by Samsung Electronics.
• The ice-maker can only be installed by Samsung or its service agent.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
The appliance is not operating at all or the
temperature is too high
The front corners and sides of the appliance are
warm and condensation starts to form
• Heat-proof pipes are installed in the front corners of
the appliance to prevent condensation from forming.
When the surrounding temperature rises, this may not
always be effective. However, this is not abnormal.
• In very humid weather, condensation may form on the
outer surface of the appliance when moisture in the air
comes into contact with the cool surface of the
appliance.
• Check that the power plug is correctly connected.
• Is the temperature control on the front panel correctly
set?
• Does the sun shine on the appliance or are there heat
sources nearby?
• Is the back of the appliance too close to the wall?
The food in the fridge is frozen
• Is the temperature control on the front panel set to the
You can hear a liquid bubbling in the appliance
coldest temperature 34°F
?
• Is the surrounding temperature too low?
• Did you put food with a high water content in the
fridge?
• Please note that this noise is caused by the refrigerant
circuit and is not a problem.
There is a bad smell inside the appliance
There are unusual noises
• Do not wrap food with paper.
• Check that the appliance is installed on a stable,
leveled floor.
• Is the back of the appliance too close to the wall?
• Have any foreign objects fallen behind or under the
appliance?
• Is the noise coming from the compressor in the
appliance? Call 1-800-SAMSUNG
• Store foods covered and clean the cold inlet.
There is a layer of frost on the surface of stored
food.
• Space the food out as much as possible to improve
ventilation.
• Is the door fully closed?
• A ticking sound may be heard inside the appliance; this
is normal. This sound occurs when the various
accessories contract or expand.
Condensation forms on the inside wall of the appliance
and around vegetables
• Food with a high water content is stored uncovered
with a high humidity level or the door has been left
open for a long time.
• Store the food with a cover or in sealed containers.
USAGE PRECAUTIONS
Store food with a high water content at the front of
a refrigerator shelf.
Do not store hot food in the appliance until it has
cooled.
• If you store cold food, you save on electricity and
improve refrigeration.
Power Saving Tips
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 (radiator, for example).
• Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance.
• 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.
• Defrost the freezer when ice builds up. A thick coat of ice will impair the transfer of cold to the frozen products, thereby
increasing power consumption.
• Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out.
The shorter time the door is opened, the less ice will form in the freezer.
• When freezing food or storing it in the freezer, place the food directly on the freezer elements in the top container.
