R600a or R134a is used as a refrigerant. Check the Compressor label on the rear of the appliance and the rating label inside the fridge to see which refrigerator is used for your refrigerator.

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a natural gas with high environmental compatibility that is, however, also combustible. When transporting and installing the appli-

ance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.

Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which the appliance is standing for several minutes.

- In order to avoid the creation of a flammable 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.

The room must be 1m^3 in size for every 8 g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.

- Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

(refer to installation instructions in this mannal)

When the refrigerator is plugged in, the interior light should come on when you open the doors.

Set the temperature control to the coldest temperature and wait for an hour. The freezer should get slightly chilled and the motor should run smoothly.

Once the refrigerator temperature is sufficiently low, you can store food in the refrigerator. After starting the refrigerator, it takes a few hours to reach the appropriate temperature.

MAJOR FEATURES

Twin Cooling System

- The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this independent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individually as required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refrigerator does not affect food in the freezer due to separate air flow circulation.

Multi-Flow System

- Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level. This provides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food fresh longer.

Door Alarm

- A beeper reminds you if the door is left open.

High humidity for fresher food

- You can keep food, fruit and vegetables fresh for longer because your refrigerator supplies highly humidified cold air. This can be up to four or five times more effective than a normal refrigerator.

Energy-saving fridge/freezer

- Power consumption is kept to a minimum by distributing cool air separately to the refrigerator and freezer.

Faster cooling times

- The power freeze function allows you to freeze food more quickly.

Abundant supply of ice and cold water

- The ice and water dispenser provides ice and cold water at any time.

Beverage Station (optional)

- You do not have to open the main door to access frequently used food in the extra refrigerating compartment. This saves time and money.

Deodorizer

- Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air fresh and odor free.

CoolSelect

Zone™Drawer (optional)

- User can select Soft Freeze, 0 Zone, Quick Cool, Cool, Thaw items.

Using the dispenser without the water filter

- You can not use the water and ice dispenser without a water filter cartridge because of the water line block at the water supply.

Ordering replacement filters

• To order more water filter cartridges, contact your authorized Samsung dealer or SVC agent.

DOORS

The refrigerator doors have a special door opening and closing feature to make sure that the doors close all the way and are securely sealed.

When opening the door, it will remain open only after reaching a certain point.

When the door is partially open, it will close automatically.

INSTALLATION OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Checking the Dimensions of your Entrance Door

• Check the dimensions of your entrance door to determine whether the refrigerator can pass through it.
• Moving refrigerator through door if depth or width of refrigerator is bigger than door's, removes refrigerator doors.

Selecting the Location for the Refrigerator

• Select a location with easy access to the water supply.
• Select a location with enough space for the refrigerator.
• Select a location without direct exposure to sunlight.

• Before disassembling the freezer door, the water supply line needs to be disconnected. (If not, the water supply line can be damaged.)
• See "Separating the water supply line from the refrigerator" on the next page.

Allow sufficient space to install the refrigerator on a flat surface.

- If your refrigerator is not level, the internal cooling system may not work correctly.

Loading Plan

To get the maximum energy efficiency, you had better give enough clearance of the back side. To get more space remove the upper box in the freezer and all boxes in the fresh food compartment since it does not effect satisfactory thermal and mechanical characteristics.

- Be careful when you open the door in full swing. It might come in contact with its adjacent units.

3) Additional flushing may be required in some households.
4) Open the refrigerator door and check if water leaks around the water filter.

ICE WATER

- A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to briefly spurt from the dispenser.

Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.

1) Lift up (①) and pull out (②) the ice maker bucket in the freezer.

2) When you press the test button, the ice cube container is

filled with water from the water supply tap.

Check the amount of water (see the illustration below).

If the water level is too low,

the ice cubes will be small.

This is not a problem with the ice maker but of the water pressure in the pipe, and occurs frequently.

When this problem occurs, contact the dealer service center to check the amount of water supplied.
