Overview

This document describes the Samsung Side-By-Side Refrigerator, a free-standing appliance designed for household use and similar applications such as staff kitchen areas, farmhouses, hotels, motels, bed and breakfast establishments, and catering services. It emphasizes safety, proper installation, and efficient operation to ensure a long lifespan and optimal performance.

Function Description

The Samsung Side-By-Side Refrigerator is equipped with various innovative storage and energy-efficient features. Its core function is to provide separate cooling for the refrigerator and freezer compartments, thanks to a Twin Cooling System with independent evaporators. This design ensures more efficient cooling and helps maintain optimal conditions for different types of food.

A key component of its energy efficiency is the Inverter compressor. This imported, high-effective compressor reduces power consumption, lowers operational noise, and operates at different frequencies to optimize freezing capacity and cooling speed.

The refrigerator offers precise temperature control for both compartments. Users can set the freezer temperature between -14°C and -23°C and the fridge temperature between 1°C and 7°C using the digital display. The appliance also features a Power Freeze function to rapidly freeze items, which is particularly useful for quickly freezing perishable goods or making large quantities of ice. Similarly, a Power Cool function is available to quickly cool fresh food in the fridge or to restore temperature after the door has been open for an extended period.

For periods of absence, the refrigerator includes a Vacation function. When activated, this function optimizes energy consumption by adjusting the fridge temperature. It is recommended to remove all food from the fridge and keep the door closed when this function is in use.

An optional Home bar feature provides convenient access to frequently used items without opening the main refrigerator door. This soft-touch bar opens and closes with a latch and damping system, adding a touch of modern convenience.

The appliance also incorporates a Child Lock button to prevent accidental changes to settings or unauthorized access, enhancing safety in households with children.

Usage Features

The refrigerator's design focuses on maximizing space and convenience. The interior includes various compartments tailored for different food types:

  • TWIST ICE MAKER: This feature allows users to easily make and dispense ice. Water is poured into the ice maker, and a simple turn of a button releases the ice into a storage compartment below. For optimal ice-making, it is recommended to activate the Power Freeze function and place the ice maker on the first layer shelf of the freezer.
  • GLASS SHELVES: Both the freezer and fridge compartments feature crack-resistant glass shelves for storing various foods and drinks. These shelves can be removed for thorough cleaning.
  • DOOR BINS: Located on the doors of both compartments, these bins are designed for small packages in the freezer and larger, bulkier items like milk gallons or bottles in the fridge.
  • DRAWERS: The freezer includes drawers for storing meats or dry foods, which should be securely wrapped. The fridge features a PHOTOSYNTHESIS FRESH-KEEPING DRAWER and a FRUIT & VEGETABLE DRAWER. The fresh-keeping drawer utilizes an LED lamp to periodically execute a fresh-keeping function, ideally used with fruits and vegetables stored in transparent plastic bags or their natural state. The fruit & vegetable drawer is specifically designed to control humidity levels to preserve freshness.
  • BEVERAGE CONTAINER (FOR THE MODEL WITH BAR): This container is integrated into models with the home bar, allowing for easy storage and access to beverages and fruits.
  • EGG TRAY: A dedicated tray for storing eggs.

When storing food, it is advised to wrap items properly in airtight containers to prevent odor penetration and maintain freshness. To maximize space, some freezer drawers (except the bottom one) can be removed without affecting thermal or mechanical characteristics. Users should also ensure that stored foods do not block the cool air outlet in the freezer to maintain efficient cooling.

Maintenance Features

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for prolonging the life of the Samsung refrigerator and keeping it odor and germ-free.

  • Cleaning the Interior: The inside walls and accessories, including drawers and shelves, should be cleaned with a mild detergent and wiped dry with a soft cloth. All removable parts can be taken out for a more thorough cleaning.
  • Cleaning the Exterior: The digital and display panels should be wiped with a clean, soft cloth, preferably dampened with water sprayed onto the cloth rather than directly onto the surface. The doors, handles, and cabinet surfaces should be cleaned with a mild detergent and then wiped dry. Polishing the exterior once or twice a year is recommended to maintain its appearance.
  • Cleaning the Home Bar (optional): For models with a home bar, the door can be opened by lightly pressing its upper part. It should be cleaned with a wet cloth and then wiped dry with a clean, soft cloth.
  • Cleaning the Rubber Door Seals: Dirty door seals can prevent the doors from closing properly, leading to inefficient operation. They should be kept free of grit or grime by cleaning with a mild detergent and a damp cloth, then wiped dry.

Safety Precautions for Maintenance:

  • Never use Benzene, Thinner, or Clorox™ for cleaning, as these can damage surfaces and pose a fire risk.
  • Do not spray water directly onto the refrigerator while it is plugged in, to avoid electric shock.
  • Always disconnect the power before cleaning or performing any maintenance. If the refrigerator has been unplugged, wait at least ten minutes before plugging it back in.
  • Ensure the power plug pins are free of foreign matter or dust to prevent fire hazards.

The refrigerator is designed to be frost-free, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. The appliance handles defrosting automatically. If there is a power failure lasting more than 24 hours, it is recommended to remove all frozen food to prevent spoilage. For shorter power outages, minimize door openings.
