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

ing and installing the appliance, 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.

SETTING UP THE REFRIGERATOR

Once you have performed the following steps, your refrigerator should be fully operational. If not, check the power supply and electricity source. If you have any questions, contact your SAMSUNG service center.

SAMSUNG RS21WCSW - SETTING UP THE REFRIGERATOR - 1

Place the refrigerator in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between the wall and the refrigerator. (refer to installation instructions in this mannal)

SAMSUNG RS21WCSW - SETTING UP THE REFRIGERATOR - 2

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.

SAMSUNG RS21WCSW - SETTING UP THE REFRIGERATOR - 3

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

SAMSUNG RS21WCSW - SETTING UP THE REFRIGERATOR - 4

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 of 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 (optional)

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

CoolSelect

Zone™Drawer (optional)

- User can select Quick Cool, Thaw and Select buttons for quickly chill, thaw and cools items. Select Soft Freeze, Cool or Chill to control the temperature of drawer.

Remove any residual matter inside the water supply line

1) Turn on the main water supply & shut-off valve of the water supply line.
2) Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear (6\~7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and clear air from the lines.
3) Additional flushing may be required in some households.
4) Open the refrigerator door and check if water leaks around the water filter.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently

  • Check that the power plug is properly connected.
  • Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature? Try setting it to a lower temperature.
  • Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?
  • Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall?

The food in the refrigerator is frozen

  • Is the temperature control on the display panel set to the correct temperature? Try setting it to a warmer temperature.
    • Is the temperature in the room too low?
  • Did you store the food with a high water content in the coldest part of the refrigerator.

You can hear unusual noise or sounds

  • Check that the floor is levelled and stable.
  • Is the back of the refrigerator too near to the wall?
  • Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?
  • A "ticking" sound may be heard from inside the refrigerator, but this is normal. This occurs because various accessories are contracted or expanded.

The front corners and sides of the cabinet are hot; condensation occurs.

  • Anti-condensators are installed in the front corners of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
  • Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.

Ice is not dispensed

• Did you stop the ice making function?
• Is there any ice in the ice storage unit?
- Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?
- Is the freezer temperature too warm? (Set the temperature lower)
- Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before making ice?

You can hear water bubbling in the refrigerator

- The bubbling comes from the refrigerant circulating in the refrigerator and is normal.

There is a bad smell in the refrigerator

- Wrap food with a strong smell so that it is airtight. Throw away any rotten food.

Frost forms on the wall of the freezer

• Is the air vent blocked?
- Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient air circulation.
• Is the door closed properly?

No water is supplied

  • Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve open?
    • Is the water supply line crushed?
  • Is the water tank frozen because the refrigerator temperature is too low? Select a warmer setting on the display panel.
