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 
damaged.  
•	 	 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	flammable	gas
  (Refrigerant R600a),
-    Refrigerant leaking from the pipe work 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.
-    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 
identification plate inside the appliance.

SEvERE WARNING SIGNS 
FOR INSTAllATION
•		Do 	not 	install 	this 	appliance 	in 	a 	humid, 	oily	
or dusty location, in a location exposed to 
direct sunlight and water (rain drops).
-    Deteriorated insulation of electrical parts may 
cause an electric shock or fire.

•	 	 Do	not	plug	several	appliances	into	the	same	
multiple power board. 
The refrigerator should always be plugged into 
its own individual electrical outlet which has a 
voltage rating that matched the rating plate.
-    This provides the best performance and also 
prevents overloading house wiring circuits, 
which could cause a fire hazard from overheated 
wires.	If	the	wall	socket	is	loose,	do	not	insert	
the power plug.
-    There is a risk of electric shock or fire.
•	 	 Do	not	use	a	cord	that	shows	cracks	or	
abrasion damage along its length or at either 
end.
•	 	 Do	not	bend	the	power	cord	excessively	or	
place heavy articles on it.

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.
-    Clean the rear of the refrigerator regularly. Dust 
increases energy consumption.
-  Do not set temperature colder than necessary.
-    Ensure sufficient air exhaust at the refrigerator 
base and at the back wall of the refrigerator.
  Do not cover air vent openings.
-    Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top 
when installing.
    This will help reduce power consumption and 
keep your energy bills lower.

doors ensure that the refrigerator is 
disconnected from the main electricity supply 
and all food stuffs are emptied from inside the 
appliance.
2.		 If	the	customer	does	not	feel	confident	to	follow	
instruction in the user manual, a Samsung 
qualified service engineer must be contacted to 
carry out this change.
