DA68-00500P REV(0.2) FEATURES Energy-saving fridge/freezer · Power consumption is kept to a minimum by distributing cool air separately to the refrigerator and freezer. Faster cooling times · The quick freezing function allow you to freeze food more quickly. High humidity for fresher food · You can keep food, fruit and vegetables fresh for longer because your refrigerator supplies highly humidified cold air. This can be up to four or five times more effective than a normal refrigerator. Door alarm · When the refrigerator door is left open for more than two minutes, a musical alarm is automatically triggered. This feature helps you save electricity and preserve stored foods. Abundant supply of ice and cold water · The ice and water dispenser provides ice and cold water at any time. Extra refrigerating compartment · You do not have to open the main door to access frequently used food in the extra refrigerating compartment. This saves time and money. What is the H. M. Cycle (High-efficiency, Multi-evaporator Cycle)? · The refrigerator and freezer have separate evaporators. Given this independent system, the refrigerator and freezer are cooled individually as required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odour from the refrigerator does not affect food in the freezer because the two are not connected.

Do not place heavy articles on the power cord. · There is a risk of a short circuit and fire. Do not insert the power plug with wet hands. · You may receive an electric shock. Do not put a container filled with water on the appliance. · If spilled, there is a risk of fire or electric shock. Do not install the fridge/freezer in a damp place or a place where it might be splashed with water. · Deteriored insulation of the electric parts may cause electric shock or fire. Do not store volatile or inflammable substances in the refrigerator. · The storage of benzene, thinner, alcohol, ether, LP gas and other such products may cause explosions. Do not disassemble, repair or alter the appliance. · You run the risk of causing a fire, malfunctions and/or personal injury. Pull the power plug out before changing the interior light of the refrigerator. · Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock. If you wish to dispose of the fridge/freezer, first remove the door and its seals. · If a child plays in the appliance, the door can close and the child can become trapped. The child will die from suffocation. Be sure to earth the appliance. · If the appliance is not properly earthed, it may break down or cause electric shock. Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead. · Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire and/or electric shock. · If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a certified service agent or qualified service personnel. Do not store articles on the appliance. · When you open or close the door, the articles may fall and cause personal injury and/or material damage. Do not store medicine, scientific materials and temperature-sensitive products in the refrigerator. · Check product labels to make sure that refrigeration is not prohibited. Do not let children hang from the door. If you detect abnormal sounds, smells or smoke, pull out the power plug immediately and contact your SAMSUNG Electronics service centre. Do not touch the inside walls of the freezer or products stored in the freezer with wet hands. · It may cause frostbite. Do not put your hands under the fridge/freezer. · Sharp edges may cause personal injury. Never put fingers or other objects into the dispenser opening and ice chute. CAUTION Do not overfill the refrigerator with food. · If food falls out when you open the doors, there is a risk of personal injury and/or material damage. Do not put bottles or glass containers in the freezer. · 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 use a wet or damp cloth when cleaning the plug. Remove any foreign matter from the power plug pins. · There is a risk of burning and fire. If you wish to move the fridge/freezer, hold it by the back and bottom handles. · If the appliance is disconnected from the power supply, you should wait for at least five minutes before plugging it back in. If the fridge/freezer is not to be used for a long time, pull out the power plug. · Any deterioration in the insulation may cause fire. 3 INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE Allow a clearance of 1 cm to the right, left and back when installing the appliance; this has the advantage of reducing power consumption. Allow sufficient space to install the appliance on a flat surface. · If your appliance is not level, the internal cooling system may not work correctly. Clean your fridge/freezer. · Wipe the inside and outside of your fridge/freezer with a dry cloth. Store food in the refrigerator. · Wait for at least two or three hours after plugging your appliance in before storing food and other items in it. LEVELLING When you adjust the level of the fridge/freezer, set the front legs slightly higher than the rear legs, so that you can open and close the door more easily. First disassemble the leg cover and then adjust the level of the fridge/freezer. If your fridge/freezer tilts to the left, turn the left adjusting screw. If your fridge/freezer tilts to the right, turn the right adjusting screw. 4 EARTHING THE APPLIANCE WARNING The appliance must be earthed. You must earth the fridge/freezer to prevent any power leakage or electric shock caused by current leakage from the appliance. · Never use gas pipes, telephone lines or other potential lightning rods as earths. You are using a power plug without earth. · Connect one end of the earthing wire (yellow/green or green) to the earthing screw and the other end to a steel or copper pipe, such as a water pipe. Earthing wire Copper pipe Earthing screw 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). 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. Clean the fridge/freezer and accessories to remove any dust that accumulated during packing and shipping (refer to page 13). 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. 5 When the refrigerator is plugged in, the interior light should come on each time you open the refrigerator door.
