WARNING
CAUTION
• When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
This appliance contains a small amount
of isobutane refrigerant (R600a), a natural
gas with high environmental compatibility
that is, however, also combustible. When
transporting and installing the appliance, care
should be taken to ensure that no parts of the
refrigerating circuit are damaged.
Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could
ignite or cause an eye injury. If a leak is detected,
avoid any naked flames or potential sources of
ignition and air the room in which the appliance is
standing for-several minutes.
• In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas-air
mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the
size of the room in which the appliance may be sited
depends on the amount of refrigerant used.
The room must be 1m3 in size for every 8 g of
R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount
of refrigerant in your particular appliance is shown on
the identification plate inside the appliance.
• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of
damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.
Do not place this refrigerator in direct sunlight or
expose to the heat from stoves, room heaters or
other appliance.
If you smell pharmaceutical or smoke, pull out
the power plug immediately and contact your
Samsung Electronics service center.
R600a or R134a is used as a refrigerant. Check
the Compressor label on the rear of the appliance
and the rating label inside the fridge to see which
refrigerator is used for your refrigerator.
