PREPARING THE FRIDGE/FREEZER
To prepare your appliance for use and to check that it is running correctly, take the following steps.
Install all shelves and compartments removed during transport in the correct positions.
Clean the fridge/freezer and accessories to remove any dust that accumulated during packing and
shipping.
The interior light of the appliance will light up when fridge door is open.
Set the temperature control to the coldest temperature and let the refrigerator operate for one hour.
The freezer should get slightly chilled and the motor should run smoothly with soft hum.
Your fridge/freezer is operated by a compressor which switches "Operation" to maintain the internal
temperature. For the first five minutes after initial start-up, it may be slightly noisy. This is quite
normal and does not represent a fault.
Store food once the temperature in the refrigerator is sufficiently low. It takes a few hours after
starting the refrigerator to reach the proper temperature.
If the appliance does not operate correctly, check the electricity supply. If the problem persists,
contact your dealer.

Questions and answers
My Display reads 18 for fridge 22 for freezer some are bright some are fading
If the display on the Samsung RL38SBIH fridge shows "18" for the fridge and "22" for the freezer, but the numbers appear with some digits bright and others fading, it likely means the display is not showing actual temperatures. Instead, it may be showing error codes or malfunctioning. Normal temperature settings for the fridge range from +1°C to +7°C, and for the freezer from -14°C to -25°C. Values like "18" and "22" fall outside these ranges, suggesting a potential display or sensor issue.
