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, con-
tact 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 cold-
est 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 acces-
sories to remove any dust that accu-
mulated 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.
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.
WARNING
EARTHING THE APPLIANCE
The appliance must be earthed.
You must earth the fridge/freezer to prevent any power leakage or electric shock caused by cur-
rent 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.
