Usage and Features

Storage Tips

• Door Bins: Ideal for storing frequently used items like condiments and small bottles.
• Fruit & Vegetable Drawer: Maintains optimal humidity levels to keep produce fresh for longer.
• Dairy Bin: Designed for storing dairy products at a consistent temperature.
• Egg Tray: Provides a dedicated space for egg storage, reducing the risk of breakage.

Optimising Storage Space

For additional space in the freezer compartment, users may remove:

• Top Drawer (RL43 model only)

Removing these components does not affect the refrigerator’s thermal or mechanical functionality.

Cleaning and Maintenance

To maintain optimal performance, it is essential to clean the refrigerator regularly.

Cleaning Guidelines

• Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild detergent and warm water to clean the refrigerator’s interior and exterior surfaces.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or flammable fluids as they may damage the finish.
• Do not clean glass shelves with warm water while they are cold to prevent breakage.

Vegetable Oil Storage Warning

• Do not store vegetable oil in the door bins, as it may solidify and cause foul odors.
• Open oil containers may leak, potentially cracking the plastic storage compartments.

Energy Efficiency Tips

To ensure the best energy efficiency:

• Keep all inner fittings, including baskets, drawers, and shelves, in their designated positions.
• Avoid overloading the refrigerator, as this can reduce air circulation and cooling efficiency.
• Regularly check and replace door seals if necessary to prevent air leaks.
• Set the refrigerator and freezer temperatures according to recommended levels.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Refrigerator Not Cooling Properly

Possible Causes:

• Power supply issues: Ensure the appliance is plugged in and the outlet is functional.
• Blocked air vents: Rearrange items to improve air circulation.

Excessive Frost Buildup

Solutions:

• Check for gaps in the freezer door seal.
• Avoid leaving the door open for extended periods.
• Ensure the defrost function is operational.

Water Leaks

• Check the drainage system for blockages.
• Ensure the refrigerator is level to prevent water accumulation.
• Inspect the water filter (if applicable) for proper installation.

Conclusion

Following these guidelines will ensure that your Samsung refrigerator operates efficiently for years. Regular cleaning, proper storage habits, and routine maintenance will help prevent common issues and extend the appliance’s lifespan. For further assistance, consult an Authorized Service Person or refer to the manufacturer’s official manual.

FAQS

1. How do I properly clean my Samsung refrigerator?

Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild detergent and warm water to clean the refrigerator’s interior and exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or flammable fluids, as they may damage the finish. Never clean glass shelves with warm water when they are cold to prevent breakage.

2. Can I store vegetable oil in the refrigerator’s door bins?

No, storing vegetable oil in door bins is not recommended. The oil may solidify, develop a foul odor, or leak, which can cause cracks in the plastic bins. Instead, store oil in a cool, shaded place such as a pantry.

3. What should I do if my refrigerator is not cooling properly?

Ensure that the appliance is plugged in and the power outlet is functioning. Check for blocked air vents and rearrange stored items to improve air circulation. Inspect the door gasket to ensure a proper seal. If the issue persists, contact an Authorized Service Person.

4. Why is there excessive frost buildup in my freezer?

Frost buildup may occur due to gaps in the freezer door seal, leaving the door open for extended periods, or a malfunctioning defrost function. Ensure the door is fully closed and check the seal for any damage or debris.

5. How can I maximize the energy efficiency of my Samsung refrigerator?

Keep all inner fittings (baskets, drawers, and shelves) in their designated positions. Avoid overloading the refrigerator, as this can restrict airflow. Ensure door seals are intact to prevent air leaks and set the temperature to recommended levels.

6. What should I do if water is leaking from my refrigerator?

Check if the drainage system is clogged and clean it if necessary. Ensure the refrigerator is level to prevent water accumulation. If your model has a water filter, inspect it for proper installation and any possible leaks.
