Safety information

Before using your new Samsung Refrigerator, please read this manual thoroughly to ensure that you know how to operate the features and functions that your new appliance offers safely and efficiently.

What you need to know about the safety instructions

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Because the following instructions cover various models, the characteristics of your refrigerator may differ slightly from the refrigerator described in this manual.
  If you have any question, contact us at 1-800-SAMSUNG or find help and information online at www.samsung.com.

• Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. When refrigerant leaks from the pipe, avoid any naked flames and move anything flammable away from the product and ventilate the room immediately.

• Failing to do so may result in fire or explosion.

• Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.

The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 V, 10 A, or more. If a grounding adapter is used, make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.

Important safety precautions

Warning; Risk of fire / flammable materials

WARNING

• R-600a is used as a refrigerant. This product contains flammable gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local authority in regard to safe disposal of this product.
• 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 35.3ft^3 in size for every 8 g of R-600a refrigerant inside the appliance.
• The installation location should not be exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near any electric appliance or heat source, e.g. stove, oven or hob, radiator, etc.

NOTE

If you install the refrigerator in a cabinet with a 22^1 / 16 in (560 mm) depth, make sure the power cord is arranged on a side of the refrigerator before plugging into a power socket. If the power cord is in the rear of the refrigerator, it could decrease the energy efficiency.

Cabinet type

The recommended cabinet type is one of the following:

NOTE

If using any of these cabinet types, you don't need to remove the main unit from the cabinet for servicing a defective main PBA. If using another cabinet type, you must remove the main unit from that cabinet for servicing.

A. Flipping type
B. Sliding type

Installation

NOTE

• Using an unrecommended-sized cabinet can cause the gasket between the refrigerator and the cabinet to be loose after the refrigerator is inserted in the cabinet.

STEP 2 Flooring

• The surface to install the refrigerator must support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• To protect the floor, put a large piece of cardboard on each foot of the refrigerator.
  Once the refrigerator is in its final position, do not move it unless necessary to protect the floor. If you have to, use a thick paper or cloth such as old carpet along the movement path.

STEP 3 Adjust the levelling legs

CAUTION

• The refrigerator must be levelled on a flat, solid floor. Failing to do so can cause damage to the refrigerator or physical injury.

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.

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

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

Troubleshooting

• As the refrigerator cools or freezes, refrigerant gas moves through sealed pipes, causing bubbling sounds.

• 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.

• 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.
