SEVERE WARNING SIGNS FOR TRANSPORTATION AND SITE

• When transporting and installing the

appliance, care should be taken to ensure

that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are

- Refrigerant leaking from the pipe work could

ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected,

avoid any naked fl ames 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 fl 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.

• Never start up an appliance showing any signs

of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer. The

room where the refrigerator will be sited must

be 1m³ in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant

inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant

in your particular appliance is shown on the

identifi cation plate inside the appliance. WARNING DA99-02318H(0.6).indb Sec2:2DA99-02318H(0.6).indb Sec2:2 2012.8.23 11:25:25 AM2012.8.23 11:25:25 AMsafety information _3

• R600a or R134a is used as a refrigerant.

Check the compressor label on the rear of

the appliance or the rating label inside the

refrigerator to see which refrigerant is used for

your refrigerator. When this product contains

fl ammable gas (Refrigerant R600a), contact your

local authority in regard to safe disposal of this

product. Cyclopentane is used as a insulation

blowing gas. The gases in insulation material

require special disposal procedure. Please

contact your local authorities in regard to the

environmentally safe disposal of this product.

Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the

appliances are damaged prior to disposal. The

pipes shall be broke in the open space.

Please dispose of the packaging material for this

product in an environmentally friendly manner.

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR PROPER USAGE

• In the event of a power failure, call the local offi ce

of your Electricity Company and ask how long it is

- 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.

- 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 in vicinity of the appliance.

• The appliance might not operate consistently

(possibility of temperature becoming too warm

in refrigerator) when sited for an extended period

of time below the cold end of the range of

temperature for which the refrigerating appliance

• Do not store food which spoils 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 rising during the defrost can

comply with ISO requirement. 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 in several layers of

• Any increase in temperature of frozen food

during defrosting can shorten its storage life. CAUTIONWARNING DA99-02318H(0.6).indb Sec2:5DA99-02318H(0.6).indb Sec2:5 2012.8.23 11:25:26 AM2012.8.23 11:25:26 AM6_ safety information

01 SETTING UP LEVELLING THE REFRIGERATOR Now that the doors are back on the refrigerator, you will want to make sure the refrigerator is level so you can then make fi nal adjustments. If the refrigerator is not level, it will not be possible to get the doors perfectly even.The front of the refrigerator is also adjustable. When the Freezer door is lower than

the fridge Insert a fl at-blade screwdriver into a notch on the Leg, turn it clockwise or counter clockwise to level the freezer. When the Freezer door is higher than

the fridge Insert a fl at-blade screwdriver into a notch on the Leg, turn it clockwise or counter clockwise to level the fridge.Refer to the next section for the best way to make very minor adjustments to the doors.

MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE DOORS Remember, a level refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on levelling the refrigerator.In the process for adjusting both the doors is the same. Open the doors and adjust them, one at a time, as follows:1. Unscrew the nut

1 from the lower hinge until it reaches the upper end of the bolt 2

. When you release the nut 1 , make sure that you use the Allen wrench provided 3 to loosen the bolt 2 in a counter-clockwise direction. You should then be able to unscrew the nut 1

with your fi ngers.2. Adjust the height difference between the doors by turning the bolt 2

or counter clockwise . When you turn clockwise , the door will move up.3. After adjusting the doors, turn the nut 1

clockwise until it reaches the lower end of the bolt, then tighten the bolt again with the wrench 3 to fi x the nut in place 1

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE (OPTIONAL)

A water dispenser is just one of the helpful features

on your new Samsung refrigerator. To help promote

better health, the Samsung water fi lter removes

unwanted particles from your water. However, it

does not sterilize or destroy microorganisms. You

will need to purchase a water purifying system to do

that. In order for the icemaker to operate properly,

water pressure of 138 ~862 Kpa is required. Under

normal conditions, a 170 cc paper cup can be fi lled

in 10 seconds. If the refrigerator is installed in an area

with low water pressure (below 138 Kpa), you can

install a booster pump to compensate for the low

pressure. Make sure the water storage tank inside

the refrigerator is properly fi lled. To do this, press the

water dispenser lever until the water runs from the

Water Line installation Kits are included. You can

fi nd it in one of the freezer drawers.
