PREPARING THE APPLIANCE

Once you have performed the following steps, your fridge/freezer should be fully operational. If not, check the power supply and electricity source. If you have any doubts or problems, contact your SAMSUNG service centre.

Place the shelves and containers which were removed for transport in their appropriate positions (refer to pages 10 to 12).

Clean the fridge/freezer and accessories to remove any dust that accumulated during packing and shipping (refer to page 13).

When the refrigerator is plugged in, the interior light should come on each time you open the refrigerator door.

Set the temperature control to the coldest temperature and wait for one hour. The freezer should get slightly chilled and the motor should run smoothly producing a soft humming noise.

Once the refrigerator temperature is sufficiently low, you can store food in the appliance.

It takes a few hours after starting the fridge/freezer to reach the appropriate temperature.

Your fridge/freezer is operated by a compressor which switchs “on and off” to maintain the internal temperature. When the compressor is new, it requires a running-in period, which can last for up to five months. During this period, it may be slightly noisy. This is quite normal and does not represent a fault.
