Features of your new Refrigerator

KEY FEATURES OF YOUR NEW REFRIGERATOR

Your Samsung Side-By-Side Refrigerator comes equipped with many space-saving, innovative storage and

energy-efﬁcient features.

• Twin Cooling Plus™

The Refrigerator and Freezer have separate evaporators. Due to this independent cooling system,

the Freezer and Refrigerator cool more efﬁciently. Additionally, this separate air ﬂow system

prevents food odor of one compartment from seeping into other compartments.

• Multi Airﬂow

Provides even cooling throughout the refrigerator to maintain optimal temperatures

to keep food fresh.

• LED Tower Lighting

See everything in a new light with LED tower lighting.

• Premium Design Ice and Water Dispenser

Quick and easy access to ﬁltered water and cubed/crushed ice with the external dispenser.

• External Digital Display and Control

Controlling the refrigerator is easy with the external digital display. It shows the inside

temperatures, when to change your ﬁlter and also controls the ice and water dispenser.

• Clear View Icemaker

The Icemaker is located in the freezer door, this ensures that all the freezer shelf space can be

fully utilized. Ice cubes are quickly produced and the clear ice bucket lets you easily see the

amount of ice cubes produced.
