Safety Caution section
• Samsungdoesnot recommend3rd party modification, thereforeSamsungis not responsiblefor safety
issuesthat resultfrom 3rd partymodifications.
Once you have performedthe 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 reasonableclearance
between the wall and the refrigerator.
(referto installationinstructions in this
manual)
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.
When the refrigerator is plugged in,
the interior light should come on when
you open the doors.
Once the refrigeratortemperature is sufficiently low,you can store food in the
refrigerator.After starting the refrigerator,it
takes a few hoursto reach the appropriate
temperature.
Twin Cooling System
,, The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this independent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individually 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.
Xtra Space TM
,,Vertical room next to the ice maker in the freezer provides space for
pizza etc.
Door Alarm
Beeper reminds you that the door is open.
Xtra Fresh TM
Optimized humidity control keeps vegetables & fruits fresh.
CoolSelect Zone TM Drawer (RS277)
