Quiet + powerful, properly set up is IMPORTANT

My consumption measurement
Meter = GlobalTRONICS Electricity meter GT-PM-03
Measurement Period = 5 months
Daily consumption average = 0.6840509 kw / H
Extrapolated annual consumption = 249 kw / H.
Thus, the device would consume about 1% less than stated.

Meanwhile, we also had very hot days with temperatures of about 28 ° C at the site.
Consumption has now probably leveled off, but will probably fall.
Reason:
We have set the refrigerator one step warmer (on now 5 ° C), because subjectively we find it too cold at 3 ° C.

Who does not want to read everything: The refrigerator is still virtually noiseless.

From the outside it is also top, easy to clean, no fingerprints, etc. (what we have been cursed with other manufacturers ...)

We are happy and give top a strong buy recommendation.
Ironically times together, what you taste spoiled food per year!
Anyone who refrigerates perfectly rarely throw food needs

A super device when ....

Despite various Rezenzionen to this and other devices we have of isolated criticism for Briebsgeräusch not be put off, and then the device was unpacked and set up in our kitchen, beautifully aligned with spirit level, etc.

Can we turn now to actually? ... Seeing that what was allowed to stand long with only a time ...
So forth with the operating instructions and - helplessness !!!

It says on page 07: "Let the unit stand for two hours after installation"
and on page 18: "After installing your new refrigerator you can use the machine into operation."

What now?

So sought on the Samsung website and there in the FAQ section.
There is predicated, you should let the machine stand for 12-24 hours before use.
A conflict with the Handbook.

So: SAMSUNG support written by someone and a fast, friendly response received (Thanks, SAMSUNG !!):

Answer SAMSUNG:
"Thank you for your inquiry.
They asked us the question, how long must the rest fridge before it can be put into operation.

If you have transported the refrigerator standing, this should rest between 6 to 12 hours at the new location before the refrigerator can be put into operation.

If the refrigerator has been transported horizontally, be sure to allow this please stand approximately 24 hours. Then you can put the device into operation as usual. "

Since the refrigerator has built anyway over 24 hours standing in place, he was turned on.

NOISE

Is he in? Hmmhh ... one hears nothing!
However, it rustles softly, like a buzz from far away, or comes from the outside - no, that's clearly the refrigerator. My God, the quiet - hopefully it stays that way!
Next day, all quietly - a sooooo quiet hum Summ, that's it.

The thermometer says:
minus 5 degrees in the refrigerator
minus 32 degrees in the freezer compartment.

So first concerned two officially calibrated thermometers and tricked.
After one week of operation, it looks actually like this:

In default (3 degrees cooling / and minus 19 degree freezing) shows the calibrated thermometer 3 degrees throughout the refrigerator, also in the Cool Select Zone (bottom drawer).
When the Cool Select Zone for meat / fish is activated, there are there plus 0.5 degrees.
Should also be suitable for vegetables.
In the freezer, the temperature is set at minus 19 degrees slightly below minus 20 degrees.
The SAMSUNG therefore seems quite properly regulate.
By the summer, when it thought about 26 degrees in the kitchen are loose, is further controlled.
Temperature good, sound good, quality of drawers etc, everything was great.
The division has a like, but you can view exactly that beforehand.

TIP:
Everyone should however wait so long as possible - if it's done 24 hours up to the first power-up. Damage it can do nothing.
Trapped air bubbles in the compressor can not be ruled out 100%, but you can try it.
Maybe it prevents the kind the noise in the cooling circuit (bubbling, gurgling hiss, etc.) over which many complain with such devices.

LONG-TERM REPORT:

Addendum of 06/12/2014:
After more than 6 months are still extremely quiet.
The Samsung now runs virtually silently for 10 weeks.
Sometimes - close the door - it runs on very quietly - but quickly silenced.
Perfect.

Food - especially vegetables - adheres very long. This alone has already paid the SAMSUNG. If you extrapolate that everything ends up in the trash, because it was wrong cooled ...
The determined with calibrated thermometer temperature is 3 degrees in the refrigerator compartment, which corresponds exactly to the pre-selected setting.
In the freezer SAMSUNG generates -21 degree adjusted -19 degrees, so it runs a bit colder (= on the safe side).

On 06.10.2014, the temperature of the cooling part of 3 degrees perched on 5 degrees.
Now you can bite directly into the carrots, without it attracts the teeth ...
