STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR
STORING FOOD IN THE FREEZER DRAWER
The Samsung Refrigerator has been designed to provide you with maximum space saving features and
functions. Here are some of the customized compartments we have created to keep your food fresher longer. In
order to further prevent odor from seeping into the ice compartment, stored food should be wrapped securely
and as airtight as possible.
Operating your SAMSUNG Refrigerator
Moving Tray
Can be used to store small dairy items like butter or margarine, yogurt
or cream cheese bricks
Bottle Bin
Designed to handle large, bulky items such as gallons of milk or other
large bottles and containers.
Fridge Shelves
Designed to be crack-resistant, the shelves can be used to store all
types of food and drinks. Circular marks on the glass surface are a
normal phenomenon and can usually be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Vegetable & Fruit
Drawers
Used for preserving the freshness of your stored vegetables and fruits.
This drawer has been specifically designed to control the level of
humidity within the compartment. Keep vegetables and fruits separate
when possible.
Do not place any large articles of food under the lamp in the Refrigerator. An air sensor is located
near the lamp and if the sensor is blocked, your Refrigerator may become too cold. Please place
Vegetable and Fruits in the Vegetable and Fruits Drawers to avoid freezing them. If the food in
your Refrigerator becomes frozen, please set the temperature higher.
Pull Out Drawer
Best used to store meats or dry foods. Stored food should be placed
in a container or wrapped securely using plastic wrap or other suitable
wrapping materials.
Freezer Drawer Bin
Can be used to store meat and dry foods.
Stored food should be placed in a container or wrapped securely using
plastic wrap or other suitable wrapping materials.
If you plan to go away for a long time, empty the Refrigerator and turn it off. Wipe the excess
moisture from the inside of the appliance and leave the doors open. This helps keep odor and
mold from developing.
Bottles should be stored tightly together so that they do not tip and fall out when the Refrigerator
door is opened.
