SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION/WARNING SYMBOLS USEDOTHER SYMBOLS USED
Indicates that a danger of death or
serious injury exists.
Indicates that a risk of 
personal injury or material 
damage exists.
WARNING
CAUTION
• When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane
refrigerant (R600a), a natural gas with high environ-
mental compatibility that is, however, also com-
bustible. When transporting and installing the appli-
ance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrig-
erating 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 appli-
ance 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
3in 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.
R600a or R134a is used as a refrigerant. Check the Compressor
label on the rear of the appliance and the rating label inside the
fridge to see which refrigerator is used for your refrigerator.

special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the appliance are
damaged prior to disposal.
WARNINGHOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a volt-
age rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents overload-
ing house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling the
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or
damaged by the back of the refrigerator.
Do not bend the power cord excessively or place
heavy articles on it.
Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become
frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. If
the power cord is damaged, have it replaced immediately by the
manufacturer or its service agent.
When moving the refrigerator, be careful not to
roll over or damage the power cord.
Do not insert the power plug with wet hands.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 
INITIAL OPERATING CONDITION
Place the refigerator in an appropriate location
with reasonable clearance between the wall and
the refigerator.
(refer to installation instructions in this mannal)
MAJOR FEATURES
Twin Cooling System
• The refrigerator and the freezer have two evapora  
tors. 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 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 distrib-
uting cool air separately to the refrigerator and
freezer.
Faster cooling times
• The power freeze function allow 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 com-
partment. This saves time and money.
Deodorizer
• Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air 
fresh and odor free.
CoolSelect 
Zone
TM Drawer
(optional)
• User can select 
Soft Freeze, 0 Zone,  
Quick Cool, Cool,
Thaw items.
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.
When the refrigerator is plugged in, the interior
light should come on when you open the doors.
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.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.

This operation instruction covers various models.
The characteristics of your appliance may differ
slightly from those described in this manual.
