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.

2

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).

4

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.

5

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.

3

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

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.
