ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER USAGE

  • In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your Electricity Company and ask how long it is going to last.
  • Most power failures that are corrected within an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
  • But should the power failure last more than 24 hours, remove all frozen food.
  • If keys are provided with the refrigerator, the keys should be kept out of the reach of children and not be in the vicinity of the appliance.
  • The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperature for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.
  • Do not store food which goes

bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas, melons.

  • Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost your appliance, as this will be carried out automatically.

- Temperature rise during defrosting can comply with ISO requirements.

But if you want to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the appliance, please wrap the frozen food up in several layers of newspaper.

- Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life.

- Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.

- The temperature of two-star sections or compartments (marked with **) is slightly higher than other freezer compartments.

The two-star sections or compartments are based on the instructions and/or the condition as delivered.

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 (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.

- 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.

- 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

- For the most efficient use of energy, please keep all inner fittings such as baskets, drawers, and shelves in the position supplied by the manufacturer.

This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, 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.

SAMSUNG RB33J3800SA - Selecting the best location for the refrigerator - 7

Please tie up the extra length of the power cord at the back of the refrigerator so that it does not touch the floor, preventing the power cord from being crushed by the rollers upon relocation.

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 65 kg). To protect the floor finish, cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place it under the refrigerator where you are working.

Full Open Box below -18°C Months 6-12 4-6 1-2

The figures above the symbols indicate the permitted storage period of the produce in months. When purchasing frozen produce, observe the date of manufacture or sell-by date.

Freezing food

Freeze fresh, undamaged food only. Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen. To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.

Packing food correctly:

  1. Place the food in the packaging.
  2. Press out all the air.
  3. Seal the wrapping.
  4. Label the wrapping with the contents and date.

The following products are not suitable for wrapping food:

Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, refuse bags and used shopping bags.

The following products are suitable for wrapping food:

Plastic film, polyethylene blown film, aluminium foil and freezer tins. These products can be purchased from your dealer.

The following products are suitable for sealing the wrapped food:

Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape or similar. Bags and polyethylene blown film can be sealed with a film sealer.

Shelf life of frozen food

Storage duration depends on the type of food. At a temperature setting of -18 °C:

  • Fresh poultry (whole chicken), fresh meat (steaks, roasts): up to 12 months
  • Fish (lean fish, cooked fish), fresh shrimp, scallops, squid: up to 6 months

- Pizza, sausage: up to 2 months Storage duration is referred to FDA website (http://www.fda.gov/).

SAMSUNG RB33J3800SA - Shelf life of frozen food - 1

- If you do not follow this period, you may get food poisoning.

Purchasing and storing deep-frozen food

When purchasing frozen food, observe the following:

  • Check that the packaging is not damaged.
  • Check the sell-by date.
  • The temperature of the supermarket freezer should be below -18 °C or lower. If not, the shelf life of the frozen food is reduced. Purchase deep-frozen food last. Wrap food in newspaper or place in a cool bag and take home.
  • At home, immediately place deep-frozen food in the freezer compartment. Consume the frozen food before the use-by date expires.

Thawing frozen food

Depending on the type and application, select one of the following options:

  • At room temperature. In the refrigerator.
  • In an electric oven, with or without fan-assisted hot air. In a microwave oven.

SAMSUNG RB33J3800SA - Thawing frozen food - 1

Do you hear abnormal sounds from the refrigerator?

Before calling for service, review the checkpoints below. Any service calls related to normal sounds will be charged to the user.

These sounds are normal.

- When starting or ending an operation, the refrigerator may make sounds similar to a car engine igniting. As the operation stabilizes, the sounds will decrease.

Clicking! or Chirping! Buzzing!

- While the fan is operating, these sounds may occur. When the refrigerator reaches the set temperature, no fan sound will occur.

SSSRRR! Whir!

- During a defrost cycle, water may drip on the defrost heater, causing sizzling sounds.

HiSS!

- 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 fill the ice maker, buzzing sounds may occur.
  • Due to pressure equalizing when opening and closing the refrigerator door, whooshing sounds may occur.

Ambient Room Temperature Limits

This fridge/freezer is designed to operate in ambient temperatures specified by its temperature class marked on the rating plate.
