FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Preferably wrap the food with plastic bag (plastic wrap) or cover the food
container to avoid food drying and taint of odor.
Hot food and beverage shall be cooled to room temperature before being put in
the refrigerator.
Store the cooked food and raw food separately.
Do not place the food densely. Reserve enough space to facilitate cold air
circulation.
NOTE
•
Please do not place the food near the temperature sensor.
•
The food and containers shall not be close to the rear wall of the refrigerator.
Preferably divide the food into small pieces for storage.
Preferably clean and dry the washable food like fruits,
vegetables, etc. before storage.
Fruits and vegetables shall be placed in the fruit and vegetable box or the

keep fresh.
Operation_15
02 Operation
Operation guide for Samsung three-door refrigerator
Tropical fruits like banana and pineapple shall not be stored in the
refrigerator. Do not store the objects with strict requirements on
temperature, such as serum, vaccine, pharmaceuticals, academic
materials, etc.
If the freezer compartment is required to store a lot of food, make ice or
freeze quickly, you can also take the drawer in the freezer compartment
out and place the food on the glass shelves in the freezer compartment.
In order to achieve optimal ice making effect, please adjust the
temperature of the freezer compartment to -23
o
C or set to "power
freeze" state before ice making. When the refrigerator displays -23
o
C, put
in the ice-making box with a certain amount of water (water level shall
not be higher than the highest point of the ice tray). When making ice, it
is recommended to open the ice-making box cover and place the ice-
making box in the upper drawer in the freezer compartment so as to
quicken the ice making speed.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Operation guide for Samsung three-door refrigerator
Cleaning the Interior
Take off all shelves, door racks, boxes, covers, drawers, etc.
and wipe them with soft cloth dipped with warm water or
neutral detergent (for washing tableware). Wipe up with clear
water and dry up with dry cloth if neutral detergent is used.
Door sealing strip
Carefully wipe up the door sealing strips, and wipe up the
grooves with wooden chopsticks wrapped with cotton
strips. Upon cleaning, insert the sealing strips into the
grooves, first fixing four corners, then inserting section by
section.
Precautions for cleaning the inside and outside of the refrigerator
•
Before cleaning, pull out the power plug from the socket. The interval between
unplugging and plugging shall be greater than 5 minutes
.
•
No water shall enter the light box when cleaning.
•
Wipe with soft cloth dipped with warm water or neutral detergent, and wipe
up with dry cloth.
•
Abrasive or strong detergent, such as window spray, facial scrub, flammable
liquid, hydrochloric acid, clean wax, concentrated laundry detergent,
bleaching agent or detergent containing petroleum products, shall not be
used on the exterior surface (door and body), plastic components, door and
lining as well as sealing gasket of the refrigerator.
- Such detergents will scratch or damage the material.
•
Please clean the refrigerator periodically to guarantee the service performance.
•
Do not put the glass shelves or protective covers which are extremely cold
into the hot water for cleaning. Sharp temperature change or impact (e.g.
collision or falling-off) will break the glass shelves or protective covers.
NOTE
•
Check the followings after maintenance:
•
Whether the power cord is cracked or damaged;
•
Whether the power plug is reliably inserted in the socket;
•
Whether the power plug has such situations as abnormal heating, etc.

The refrigerator does not
work
- The plug is not well connected.
- The power is not connected.
- Power is off when the refrigerator is
running and power is on again less than
7 minutes later.
The food in the fridge
compartment is frozen
- The temperature is set too low.
- The food stored contact the cold source
at the rear wall.
-
The refrigerator is in the quick refrigerating
state.
The refrigerator is running
for a long time
- Ambient temperature in summer is high.
- The door is opened frequently.
- The food are accumulated near the
temperature sensor.
- The ventilation around the refrigerator is
poor.
The freezer compartment
cannot freeze sufficiently
- The refrigerator door is not closed
properly.
- The sealing is not tight due to damaged
or deformed door sealing strip.
- Heat source exists beside the
refrigerator or the refrigerator is exposed
to direct sunlight.
- The ventilation around the refrigerator is
poor.
The refrigerator
makes abnormal
noise
The refrigerator is placed
unevenly
- If the refrigerator is placed unevenly
slightly, the operating sound will be
louder. Rotate the adjusting leg under
the refrigerator to adjust the level.
Sound of air flow or running
water
- The refrigerator temperature decreases
quickly via the flowing of refrigerant
in the pipe. The refrigerant includes
gaseous state and liquid state, which
will produce slight noise when flowing.
Slight "buzzing"
- The compressor is working with the
noise a bit higher on startup. The noise
of efficient refrigerator will be higher due
to strong working of compressor.
Slight "whirring"
- A fan is installed in the refrigerator to
promote air circulation. When the fan
runs, sound of air flowing and motor
rotation will be caused.
Fault Analysis_19
03 Fault Analysis
Fault Analysis
Sound of "click", "bo"
- When the refrigerator is opened or
closed, main control panel, starting
relay, thermal protector, solenoid valve
and other electrical components will
produce the sound of "click", "bo"
suddenly due to their frequent picking-
up or disconnection.
- When the refrigerator is working, the
change of the difference in temperature
will cause frost crack of food or
thermal expansion and contraction of
accessories in the refrigerator, thus
producing the sound of "poop".
Condensation/
water leakage
Frosting/icing
Condensation exists on
the center beam and box
frames
- It will occur when ambient humidity is
high.
- Wipe it dry with soft cloth.
Condensation exists in fruit
and vegetable box
- The door is opened for a long time.
- The liquid food are stored without cover.
Heating at both
sides
Abnormal smell
Heating at the front box
frame or side panel of the
refrigerator
- Anti-dew tube is provided in the box
frame in order to prevent the moisture
from being condensed at the box
frame. The pipe will get hot when the
refrigerator runs, which is normal rather
than failure.
- Heat-dissipating device (condenser)
is installed at both sides inside the
refrigerator. Heating at both sides is
normal.
Abnormal smell exists in
the refrigerator
- Odorous food shall be tightly wrapped.
- Check whether the food are
deteriorated.
- The inside of the refrigerator needs to
be cleaned.
NOTE
•
The temperature in the refrigerator is decreased via the working of compressor,
circulation of refrigerant and other processes, to guarantee the fresh and
nutrition of the food in the refrigerator. Under working state of the refrigerator,
you will hear some slight noises which are normal. Please feel free to use.
