Safety information

• 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 nd 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 refrigerator. When this product contains ammable

gas (Refrigerant R-600a), contact your local authority in

regard to safe disposal of this product.

• In order to avoid the creation of a ammable 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 m³

in size for every 8 g of R-600a refrigerant inside the

appliance. The amount of refrigerant in your particular

appliance is shown on the identication 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 ames and move anything ammable away

from the product and ventilate the room immediately.

- Failing to do so may result in re or explosion.

• It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorized

Service Person to service this appliance.
