insulation material require special disposal procedures. Ensure
that none of the pipes on the back of the appliance are damaged
prior to disposal.
Do not put bottles or glass containers in the freez-
er.
• When the contents freeze, the glass may break and
cause personal injury.
If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the
power plug.
• There is a risk of electric shock or fire.
Do not disconnect the power cord by pulling on its
lead.
• Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire and
or electric shock.
Do not use a wet or damp cloth when cleaning the
plug. Remove any foreign matter or dust from the
power plug pins.
• Otherwise there is a risk of fire.
• If the refrigerator is disconnected from the power
supply, you should wait for at least five minutes
before plugging it back.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, a certified service agent or qualified
service personnel.
If the refrigerator is not to be used for a long period
of time, pull out the power plug.

perature-sensitive products in the refrigerator.
• Check product labels to make sure that refrigeration is
not prohibited.
Do not place the equipment directly under the sun-
light.
Do not let children hang on the doors.
The appliance must be positioned so that the plug
is accessible after installation
If you detect abnormal sounds, smzells or smoke,
pull out the power plug immediately and contact
your nearest SAMSUNG Electronics service center.
If the power cord is damaged it must be replaced
by manufacturer, a certified service agent or quali-

ply, you should wait for at least five minutes before
plugging it back in.
• 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 1m3 in size for every 8 g of
R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refriger-
ant in your particular appliance is shown on the identification
plate inside the appliance.
If the freezer/refrigerator will not be used for a long
period of time, pull out the power plug.

hours after starting the freezer/refriger-
ator to reach the appropriate tempera-
ture.
When the refrigerator is plugged in,
the interior light should illuminate

perature?
•
Is the freezer/refrigerator in direct sunlight or
located near a heat source?
• Is the back of the freezer/refrigerator too close to
the wall?
You can hear water babbling in the refrigerator
• The babbling is caused by the refrigerant circulat-
ing in the unit.
The food in the refrigerator is frozen
•
