This is a user manual for a Samsung Refrigerator, specifically a Free Standing Appliance. The manual provides comprehensive information on safety, installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Function Description:
The Samsung Refrigerator is designed for household and similar applications, primarily for storing food. It features a freezer compartment and a fridge compartment, with some models offering a "Twin Cooling Plus" system. The appliance is frost-free, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. Certain models include an ice maker and a water dispenser, allowing for chilled water and ice without opening the fridge door. The refrigerator also has a "Freezer Convert" function on applicable models, which allows the freezer compartment to be used in different modes, including a "Fridge" mode or to be turned "Off". A "Vacation" mode is available to maintain a controlled temperature in the fridge while the freezer remains active, ideal for extended periods away.
