    It is your responsibility to use common sense, caution, and care when installing, maintaining, and operating your appliance.

  • Because these following operating instructions cover various models, the characteristics of your refrigerator may differ slightly from those described in this manual and not all warning signs may be applicable. If you have any  questions or concerns, contact your nearest service center or find help and information online at www.samsung.com.

  • R-600a or R-134a is used as a refrigerant. Check the compressor label on the rear of the appliance or the rating label inside the fridge to see which refrigerant is used for your appliance. When this product contains flammable gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local authority in regard to safe disposal of this product.

  • 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 must be 1 m 3 in size for every 8 g of R-600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular  appliance isshown on the identification plate inside the appliance.

  • Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause an eye injury. When refrigerant leaks from the pipe, avoid any naked flames and move anything flammable away from the product and ventilate the room immediately.
    – Failing to do so may result in fire or explosion.

    – If a child places a bag over his or her head, the child could suffocate.

Additional tips for proper usage

  • In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your electric company and ask how long the failure is going to last.
    – Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
    – Should the power failure last more than 24 hours, remove and discard all frozen food.

  • The refrigerator might not operate consistently (frozen contents can thaw or temperatures can become too warm in the frozen food compartment) if sited for an extended period of time in a location where ambient air temperatures  are constantly below the temperatures for which the appliance is designed.

  • In case of particular foods, keeping it under refrigeration can have a bad effect on preservation due to its properties.

  • Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost your appliance. This will be carried out automatically.

  • Temperature rise during defrosting complies with ISO requirements. If you want to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of frozen food while the appliance defrosts, wrap the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.

  • Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.

  • The temperature of two star section (sections) or compartment (compartments) which have two star symbol (**) is slightly higher than other freezer compartment (compartments).
    The two star section (sections) or compartment (compartments) is (are) based on the instruction and/or the condition as delivered.

  3. Open the main water valve and check for any leaks.
  4. If there are no leaks, dispense about 10 litres of water or dispense the water for 6 – 7 minutes before actually using the refrigerator to remove impurities inside the water filtering system.
  5. Secure the water line to a sink or a wall using a clip.

CAUTION
• Do not tighten the water line excessively. Make sure the water line is not bent, pinched, or squashed.
• Do not mount the water line on any part of the refrigerator. This may damage the refrigerator.
NOTE
If you have to relocate the refrigerator after connecting the water line, make sure the joined section of the water line must is straight.

To repair the water line
CAUTION
The water line must be repaired by a qualified professional. If you encounter a water leak, contact a local Samsung service centre or the installer of the water line.

Reverse osmosis water filtration system
The water pressure of the water supply system to a reverse osmosis water filtration system must be between 206 kPa (30 psi) and 861 kPa (125 psi).
The water pressure of the reverse osmosis water filtration system to the refrigerator’s cold water line must be at least 206 kPa (30 psi). If the water pressure is below the specified:

  • Check if the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
  • Refill the water tank in the reverse osmosis system with water.
  • If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter.
    For more information or servicing, contact a licensed plumbing professional.

Ordering a new filter
To purchase a new water filter (part type: HAFEX/EXP), contact a local Samsung service centre.
