4 1. Precautions (safety warnings) ●Unplug the appliance before replacing or repairing electrical parts. ⇢ Be careful to avoid electric shock. ●Always use only the correct replacement parts. ⇢ Check the model, rated voltage, rated current and running temperature rating. ●When troubleshooting, verify that wiring harnesses are connected securely. ⇢ Make sure the connectors are not separated when power is supplied. ●Check for visible traces of water on electrical parts. ⇢ Replace or secure any part that may have come in contact with water. ●Check the status of parts after replacement or troubleshooting. ⇢ All parts must be reinstalled properly. ●Check the location where the refrigerator will be used. ⇢ If the refrigerator will be used in a damp or wet space, or if installation will be unstable, the unit should be relocated. ●The refrigerator must be grounded properly. ⇢ An earth ground should be used if there is a risk of high humidity or wetness. ● The refrigerator should be plugged into a dedicated outlet. Make sure the power cord is not damaged, crushed, squeezed or burned. ● If the plug is damaged it should be replaced. If the socket is damaged, it should not be used. ●Consumers must not try to repair the refrigerator. ●Nothing should be stored in the refrigerator except food. ⇢ Drugs requiring precise temperatures should not be stored in the refrigerator. ⇢ Flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, ether, LP gas, etc.) carry risk of explosion and should not be stored in the refrigerator.

9 Product sPecifications • A newly developed SAMSUNG bottom mount freezer in 2012 has the following characteristics. Surround Multi Flow • Provides uniform cooling for each shelf and every corner in the fresh food section. This is accomplished by using a center positioned fan and duct with multiple cooling flow openings. Twin Cooling System • The refrigerator and the freezer each have an evaporator. Given this independent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individually as required and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refrigerator does not affect food in the freezer due to separate air flow circulation. One Lever Dispenser • One lever dispenser easily switches between ice and water. Secure Auto Close Door System • Doors close tightly. • Food on the doors stays cool. • Prevents moisture from forming on the outside of the doors. Easy Handle System • Ez-open Freezer Door • Ergonomic Door Design Electronic control from outside of Pantry Cover(RF263TEAE**,RF323BEAE**) • Adjustable temperature control ((around 41℉(5℃) : Deli / around 38℉(3℃) : Fresh / around 34℉(1℃) Chilled ) Temperature control from outside of the Pantry : user friendly design helps keep foods fresh for longer 2-1) Introduction of Main Function
