- Bigger & Wider Space

The wide shelf area provides enough space for larger items.

The wide freezer drawer also provides enough space for 2\~3 turkeys.

- Secure Auto Close

The Secure Auto Close feature will automatically close a door that is slightly open.

• Digital Display and Temperature Control

- Door Alarm

A helpful beeper alerts you if a door is ajar.

- Easy Handle

Freezer door can be opened with less effort.

- Energy Star

This Energy star labeled product may save you money on your energy costs.

Never use gas pipes, telephone lines or other potential lightning attractors as an electrical ground.

- Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If it is necessary to use an extension cord to power the Refrigerator, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade ground plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115V\~120V, 10A, or more. Additionally, if a grounding adapter is used, make sure the receptacle box is also fully grounded.

The appliance must have sufficient space around it. (Refer to page 10 for the best location.)

- When refrigerant leaks, it is possible to cause a fire or explosion.

CAUTION SIGNS

GETTING READY TO INSTALL THE REFRIGERATOR

Congratulations on your purchase of this Samsung Refrigerator. We hope you enjoy the state-of-art features and efficiencies that this new appliance offers.

Selecting the best location for the Refrigerator

• A location with easy access to the water supply.
• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.
• A location with level (or nearly level) flooring.
• A location with enough space for the Refrigerator doors to open easily.
• Allow sufficient space to the right, left, back and top for air circulation. If the Refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling system may not work properly.
• Please ensure that appliance can be moved freely in the event of maintenance & service.

25mm 50mm 25mm

First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your Refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways (both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.

The following chart details the exact height and depth of Samsung Refrigerator.

Model		RB194**RB196**	RB214**RB216**
Width (inch/mm)		31 18 / 810
Depth (inch/mm)	with door	27 18 / 709	29 18 / 759
	without door	24 38 / 620	26 38 / 671
Height (inch/mm)	with hinge	70 / 1778	70 / 1778
	without hinge	68 18 / 1750	68 18 / 1750

• Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.
• If you install the Refrigerator where is below 10^(50^) , it may not function in optimum level.

When moving your refrigerator

To prevent floor damage be sure the front leveling legs are in the up position(above the floor).

Refer to ‘Leveling the refrigerator’ in the manual (on page 14)

Screwdriver(-) Control Lever

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 106kg(223lbs). To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator where you are working. When moving the refrigerator, be sure to pull it straight out and return it to position by pushing it straight in.

LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR

After putting the doors back on the Refrigerator, make sure the Refrigerator is level so that you can make final adjustments.

If the Refrigerator is not level, it will not be possible to get the doors perfectly even.

Also it is possible to sweat in the refrigerator and ask more energy bills.

For example, when the left side is lower than the right side, insert a flat-blade screwdriver into a notch on the left control lever, and turn it clockwise or counter clockwise to level the door.

Turning it clockwise to raise the refrigerator and counterclockwise to lower it.

For the left side is higher, do it with right lever.

Both control levers must be surely touching the floor to avoid the possible personal injury or property damage because of tipping.

STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR

The Samsung Refrigerator has been designed to provide you with maximum space saving features and functions. Here are some of the customized compartments we have created to keep your food fresher longer. In order to further prevent odor from seeping into the ice compartment, stored food should be wrapped securely and as airtight as possible.

Moving Tray	Can be used to store small dairy items like butter or margarine, yogurt or cream cheese bricks
Bottle Bin	Designed to handle large, bulky items such as gallons of milk or other large bottles and containers.
Fridge Shelves	Designed to be crack-resistant, the shelves can be used to store all types of food and drinks. Circular marks on the glass surface are a normal phenomenon and can usually be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Vegetable & Fruit Drawers	Used for preserving the freshness of your stored vegetables and fruits. This drawer has been specifically designed to control the level of humidity within the compartment. Keep vegetables and fruits separate when possible.

Do not place any large articles of food under the lamp in the Refrigerator. An air sensor is located near the lamp and if the sensor is blocked, your Refrigerator may become too cold. Please place Vegetable and Fruits in the Vegetable and Fruits Drawers to avoid freezing them. If the food in your Refrigerator becomes frozen, please set the temperature higher.

STORING FOOD IN THE FREEZER DRAWER

Pull Out Drawer	Best used to store meats or dry foods. Stored food should be placed in a container or wrapped securely using plastic wrap or other suitable wrapping materials.
Freezer Drawer Bin	Can be used to store meat and dry foods. Stored food should be placed in a container or wrapped securely using plastic wrap or other suitable wrapping materials.

Bottles should be stored tightly together so that they do not tip and fall out when the Refrigerator door is opened.
If you plan to go away for a long time, empty the Refrigerator and turn it off. Wipe the excess moisture from the inside of the appliance and leave the doors open. This helps keep odor and mold from developing.

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

Caring for your Samsung Refrigerator prolongs the life of your appliance and helps keep it odor and germ-free.

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the inside walls and accessories with a mild detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. You can remove the drawers and shelves for a more thorough cleaning. Just make sure to dry drawers and shelves before putting them back into place.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the display panel with damp, clean, soft cloth. Do not spray water directly on the surface of the Refrigerator.

The doors, handles and cabinet surfaces should be cleaned with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with a soft cloth. To keep your appliance looking its best, the exterior should be polished once or twice a year.

Caution Do not use Benzene, Thinner, car detergent, or Clorox for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the appliance and may cause fire.

Cleaning the Rubber door seals

If the rubber door seals are dirty, the doors may not close properly, and the Refrigerator will not operate efficiently. Keep the door seals free of grit or grime by cleaning the doors with a mild detergent and damp cloth. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Cleaning behind the Refrigerator

To keep cords and exposed parts free of dust and dirt accumulation, vacuum behind the appliance once or twice a year.

Move the food away from the air vent.
You hear unusual noise or sounds.	Check that the Refrigerator is level and stable.Is the back of the Refrigerator too close to the wall and therefore keeping air from circulating?Was anything dropped behind or under the Refrigerator?A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the Refrigerator. It is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding according to the temperature of the Refrigerator interior.

Frost forms on the walls of the Freezer.	Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.Allow sufficient space between the foods stored for efficient air circulation.Is the Freezer drawer closed properly?
Water dispenser is not functioning.(Water dispenser models only)	Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.Is the water tank frozen because the Refrigerator temperature is too low?Try selecting a warmer setting on the main display panel.
