safety information _05 temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed. • Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas, melons. • Place the ice tray at the originally provided position by manufacturer in order to achieve optimal ice-freezing. • 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 paper such as newspaper. • Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life.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 suffi cient 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. contents SETTING UP YOUR SIDE-BY-SIDE REFRIGERATOR ……………………………………………………… 06 OPERATING THE SAMSUNG SIDE-BY-SIDE REFRIGERATOR …………………………………………… 15 TROUBLESHOOTING …………………………………………………………………………………………… 21 % &/JOEE% &/JOEE..

10_ setting up 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 clockwise 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. If you do not secure the nut fi rmly, the bolt may release. 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 freezer.
