The wide shelf area provides enough space for larger items.

The wide freezer drawer also provides enough space for 2~3 turkeys.

 Secure Auto Close

The Secure Auto Close feature will automatically close a door that is slightly open.

 Digital Display and Temperature Control

The easy-to-read Digital Display enhances the look of your kitchen and allows you precise

temperature control.

WARNING

- Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade

grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked

rating of the extension cord should be AC115-120 V, 10 A, or more. If a grounding adapter is

used, make sure the receptacle box is fully ground

Setting up your French Door Refrigerator

First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your Refrigerator to its ﬁnal location by measuring doorways

(both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.

The following chart details the exact height and depth of Samsung French Door Refrigerator.

FLOORING

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level

surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the

ﬂooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully

loaded refrigerator, or approximately 223lbs(106kg). To protect

the ﬁnish of the ﬂooring, cut a large section of the cardboard

carton and place under the refrigerator where you are working.

When moving the refrigerator, be sure to pull it straight out and

return it to position by pushing it straight in.

• Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption

and keep your energy bills lower.

• If you install the Refrigerator where is below 50ºF (10ºC), it may not function optimally.

• Do not locate the refrigerator where the wet condition.

When moving your refrigerator

To prevent ﬂoor damage, be sure the front adjusting legs

are in the up position(above the ﬂoor).

Refer to ‘Adjusting the doors’ (on page 15).
