Instructions
The refrigerator is equipped with the dew prevention and heat radiation tubes. The back and side plates may be heated especially when starting up or if the door is frequently opened and closed.

Page
–

If a door is shut, other doors may open.

The two compartments are connected with an air duct.

–

When closing one of the doors, the other door may be

–

opened by the air pressure through the duct.

This is a normal phenomenon.

Does the refrigerator make any abnormal noises (sound)?

7KHVRXQGOLNHZDWHUÀRZLQJDQGERiling water is the

–

sound of the cooling liquid (refrigerant). A creaking sound comes from the storage

compartment. It is the sound caused by friction of

the parts due to temperature change.

There are waving and / or distortions on the door surface, the side and the top surface of the refrigerator.

Slight waving and/or distortions are generated in the

manufacturing process of the refrigerator.

–

They may be conspicuous according to the position of the

–

light source and/or the brightness etc.,

but there is no problem with the performance.

Annoying sound is generated by the refrigerator.
Operation sound lasts long. Operation sound sometimes becomes louder.

You may feel that the operation sound is loud because the

compressor operates in high-speed under the

following conditions: the refrigerator does not cool fully

temperature is high.

The sound becomes more quiet after cooling fully.

The compressor operates at low speed at night, or during

long vacations or absence.

It is because the compressor operates in low-speed for

It is because the system changes the operating power of he refrigerator according to the temperature change.

Dew or Frost is generated

General operation Please check here
The door of the freezer compartment was not left open temporarily?

Possible causes and / or Recommened solutions
Check that the wrapping paper of the food is not getting caught in order not to make gap between door and door gasket when you close the door.

Frost or ice is generated in the freezer compartment

The door of the freezer compartment was not opened frequently or longer time than necessary?

When the door is opened frequently or if the door is opened when the humidity around the refrigerator is high, moisture in the air may be turned into some frost or ice on the inner wall or component of the freezer compartment, or around the air chanels. This is not a failure. Please try not to open the door too many times or for a long time. Also, please wipe frost or ice generated in the freezer compartment off with use of a dry cloth.

Making extra ice by using an additional ice-tray which was not originally installed in the refrigerator?

When the many containers in which water or liquid is stored are put in the same time, water or liquid may be evaporated and turned into frost or ice on the wall or component of the freezer compartment, or around the air channels. You can suppress these frost and ice by putting lid to avoid evaporation Please wipe frost and ice off with use of a dry cloth.

Dew is generated on outer surface of the refrigerator

The door of the refrigerator compartment was not opened frequently or longer time than necessary?

When the door is opened frequently or if the door is opened
when the humidity around the refrigerator is high, moisture in the air may be turned into some dew on the inner wall or component of the refrigerator compartment, or around the chilled air blow-off port. This is not failure . Please try not to open the door too many times or for long time. Also, please wipe off the dew in the refrigerator compartment with adry cloth.

dew condensation

Storing many vegetables containing much water?

The humidity of the vegetable compartment is higher than other compartments. Accordingly, depending on the amount or type of the vegetable, dew condensation may be generated on the plastic case of vegetable compartment. However, this is not a failure.

The temperature setting is not set as “Coldest”?

When the temperature setting is set as “Coldest”, some dew may be generated on the outer surface of the refrigerator. Please set the
setting as “Normal”. Also, please wipe dew off with use of a dry cloth.

Why frost and dew are generated?

When warm and humid air contacts something cold, dew is generated. For example, if you put some ice in the glass in your room, air around the glass will be cold down and some dew may be generated on the outer surface of the glass.
In the same way, when warm and humid air enters into the refrigerator at the door opening, the warm and humid air contacts cold inner wall and little dew may be generated.
Accordingly, if the door opening is too frequent or too long, dew will be accumulated at every door opening. In some cases,

Dew or Frost is generated

General operation Please check here
The door of the freezer compartment was not left open temporarily?

Possible causes and / or Recommened solutions
Check that the wrapping paper of the food is not getting caught in order not to make gap between door and door gasket when you close the door.

Frost or ice is generated in the freezer compartment

The door of the freezer compartment was not opened frequently or longer time than necessary?

When the door is opened frequently or if the door is opened when the humidity around the refrigerator is high, moisture in the air may be turned into some frost or ice on the inner wall or component of the freezer compartment, or around the air chanels. This is not a failure. Please try not to open the door too many times or for a long time. Also, please wipe frost or ice generated in the freezer compartment off with use of a dry cloth.

Making extra ice by using an additional ice-tray which was not originally installed in the refrigerator?

When the many containers in which water or liquid is stored are put in the same time, water or liquid may be evaporated and turned into frost or ice on the wall or component of the freezer compartment, or around the air channels. You can suppress these frost and ice by putting lid to avoid evaporation Please wipe frost and ice off with use of a dry cloth.

The door of the refrigerator compartment was not left open temporarily?

Please check not to pinch the food or plastic bag between the door and door frame when you close the door.

Dew is generated in the refrigerator compartment
Dew is generated on outer surface of the refrigerator

The door of the refrigerator compartment was not opened frequently or longer time than necessary?

When the door is opened frequently or if the door is opened
when the humidity around the refrigerator is high, moisture in the air may be turned into some dew on the inner wall or component of the refrigerator compartment, or around the chilled air blow-off port. This is not failure . Please try not to open the door too many times or for long time. Also, please wipe off the dew in the refrigerator compartment with adry cloth.

Dew condensation

Storing many vegetables containing much water?

The humidity of the vegetable compartment is higher than other compartments. Accordingly, depending on the amount or type of the vegetable, dew condensation may be generated on the plastic case of vegetable compartment. However, this is not a failure. When you do not want to have this kind of dew, please warp your vegetables in a plastic flim. Also,when the dew condensation happens many times, water may be accumulated in the vegetable compartment. Please wipe the water off with a dry cloth.

The volume of humidity around When the humidity rises such as in rainy day, some dew many be generated on

the refrigerator is not high?

the outer surface of the refrigerator. Please wipe the dew off with a dry cloth.

The temperature setting is not set as “Coldest”?

When the temperature setting is set as “Coldest”, some dew may be generated on the outer surface of the refrigerator. Please set the
setting as “Normal”. Also, please wipe dew off with use of a dry cloth.

Why frost and dew are generated?

When warm and humid air contacts something cold, dew is generated. For example, if you put some ice in the glass in your room, air around the glass will be cold down and some dew may be generated on the outer surface of the glass.
In the same way, when warm and humid air enters into the refrigerator at the door opening, the warm and humid air contacts cold inner wall and little dew may be generated.
Accordingly, if the door opening is too frequent or too long, dew will be accumulated at every door opening. In some cases, dew may be frozen to generate some frost or ice flakes in the freezer compartment.
