User Manual Samsung SRL454DSP 458L Bottom Mount Refrigerator

When you are getting ready to install your Samsung Fridge, one of the most important things to take notice of is the space around your fridge. Having too little space can greatly impact on the performance and life of your fridge, such as minimising over-heating.

Generally, all Samsung refrigerator models requires a minimum distance of 50mm for the sides and rear of the fridge and 100mm from the top of the fridge. You can find measurements specific to your type of fridge in the dropdown menu below.

The free space measurements refer to the distance between the fridge and other objects. (E.g. For the Bottom Mount Fridge, it has a width of 700mm and requires at least 50mm space on either side. A minimum space of 800mm is required in total.)

Please be advised that this is an Australian page, and all measurements are in the metric system.

You may notice that the outside of your fridge feels warm. This is normal and is caused by the heat dissipated from the refrigeration process.

If your fridge feels warmer than it should, it may be due to insufficient spacing between your fridge and it’s surroundings. Ensure that there is a minimum distance of 50 mm of space free around the sides and at the back of the unit, and at least 25 mm space at the top.

Also, check to see if there are any nearby heat sources that could contribute to the increase in surface temperature and remove it possible. It is strongly recommended to install the refrigerator away from any heat source.
