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.

This appliance contains a small amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a natural gas with high environmental compatibility that is, however, also combustible. When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating 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 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.

The room must be 1m 3 in 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.

INITIAL OPERATING CONDITION

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.

Place the refigerator in an appropriate location with reasonable clearance between the wall and the refigerator.

(refer to installation instructions in this mannal)

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.

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.

Beverage Station (optional)

• You do not have to open the main door to access frequently used food in the extra refrigerating compartment. This saves time and money.

Deodorizer

• Reusable deodorizer keeps the refrigerator air fresh and odor free.

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.

CoolSelect

Zone TM Drawer

(optional)

• User can select

Soft Freeze, 0 Zone,

Quick Cool, Cool,

Thaw items.

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 distributing 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.

NOTE

This operation instruction covers various models.

The characteristics of your appliance may differ slightly from those described in this manual.

INSTALLATION OF THE REFRIGERATOR

Checking the Dimensions of your Entrance Door

NOTE

• Check the dimensions of your entrance door to determine whether the refrigerator can pass through it.

• Moving refrigerator through door if depth or width of refrigerator is bigger than door’s, removes refrigerator doors.

Selecting the Location for the Refrigerator

CAUTION

• Select a location with easy access to the water supply.

• Select a location with enough space for the refrigerator.

• Select a location without direct exposure to sunlight.

• Before disassembling the freezer door, the water supply line needs to be disconnected.

(If not, the water supply line can be damaged.)

• See “Separating the water supply line from the refrigerator” on the next page.

Allow sufficient space to install the refrigerator on a flat surface.

• If your refrigerator is not level, the internal cooling system may not work correctly.

NOTE

To get the maximum energy efficiency, you had better give enough clearance of the back side.

To get more space remove the upper box in the freezer and all boxes in the fresh food compartment since it does not effect satisfactory thermal and mechanical characteristics.

CHECKING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE (OPTIONAL)

1) In order to operate the ice maker properly, water pressure of 1.4 ~ 10 kgf/cm 2 (0.14 ~ 9.8Mpa,

19.9 ~ 142.2 psi, 1.37 ~ 9.8 bars) is required.

In this range a 100 cc paper cup can be filled in 10 seconds.

2) The water filter removes particles. It does not sterilize or destroy any micro-organisms.

3) If the refrigerator is installed in an area with low water pressure (below 1.4kgf/cm 2 , 0.14 Mpa,

19.9 psi,1.37bars), you should install a booster pump to compensate for the low pressure.

4) Ensure the water storage tank inside the refrigerator is properly filled initially. Push the water dis penser lever until the water runs from the outlet.

NOTE

A universal water supply kit is available at extra cost from your dealer. The refrigerator manufacturer recommends using a water supply kit containing copper tubing.

INSTALLING THE WATER DISPENSER LINE

Remove any residual matter inside the water supply line

1) Turn on the main water supply & shut-off valve of the water supply line.

2) Run water through the dispenser until the water runs clear

(6~7 minutes). This will clean the water supply system and clear air from the lines.

3) Additional flushing may be required in some households.

4) Open the refrigerator door and check if water leaks around the water filter.

ICE WATER

NOTE

• A newly-installed water filter cartridge may cause water to briefly spurt from the dispenser.

Check the amount of water supplied to the ice tray.

1) Lift up ( ① ) and pull out ( ➁ ) the ice maker bucket in the freezer.

2) When you press the test button, the ice cube container is filled with water from the water supply tap.

Check the amount of water (see the illustration below).

If the water level is too low, the ice cubes will be small.

CHECK THE WATER

LEVEL

This is not a problem with the ice maker but of the water pressure in the pipe, and occurs frequently.

When this problem occurs, contact the dealer service center to check the amount of water supplied.

Frost forms on the wall of the freezer

No water is supplied

• Is the air vent blocked?

• Is the door closed properly?

• Is the water pipe connected and the shut-off valve open?
