SAFETY WARNING

(R-600a models only)

This appliance contains a certain amount of
isobutane refrigerant (R600a) a natural gas
with high environmental compatibility that is,

however, also combustible.
When transporting and installing the appliance, care
should be taken to ensure that no parts of the
refrigerating circuit are damaged.
Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or
cause eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked

ames or potential sources of ignition and air the room

in which appliance is standing for several minutes.

• In order to avoid the creation of a ammable gas-air

mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the
size of the room in which the appliance may be sited
depends on the amount of refrigerant used.
The room must be 1 m³ in size for every 8g of
R600a refrigrant inside the appliance. The amount of

refrigerant is shown on the identication plate inside

the appliance.

• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of

damage. lf in doubt, consult your dealer.

Troubleshooting Guide

Before calling for service, check the
followings.

Foods freeze in the fresh food compartment

• Has the temperature been on “MAX” continuously?

• Is the temperature near refrigerator less than 5°C?

• Was moist foods such as vegetables placed just in

front of the cold air duct?

Refrigerator never get cold.

• Is there no power failure?

• Is the mains play rmly secure?

Refrigerator does not get cold enough.

• Has the temperature been on “MIN” continuously?

Set the temperature to “NORMAL”.

• Has too hot food put in? Check food storage state.

• Is the inside lled with too much food?

• Is either door open or did you open and shut the doors

too often?

• Is there a gas range or a stove near the refrigerator?

Is it in direct sun-light? Check the installation place.

Refrigerator is noisy.

• Is the oor rm and level or the refrigerator levelled

well ?

• Is the back of refrigerator touching the wall ?

Moisture collects inside.

• Check if either door is open.

• Did you leave the doors open too long or is moist food

put with its lid off ? Moisture disappears naturally if
doors are closed, but it’s better to wipe it off with dry

cloth.

Water is owing out when moving the refrigerator.

• Have you dried and emptied the evaporator dish?

Something smells.

• Air ducts blocked with foods ?

• Is strong odoring food stored unwrapped ? Check the

food storage state.

*

The vegetable cases are closed, so deodorazing is

almost impossible.

Refrigerator Is Not Wrong or Out of
Order In These Cases...

Moisture is forming on cabinet surface !

• Moisture can be formed during the rainy season or

through continuous hot and humid days. Wipe out the
surface with dry cloth.

It sounds water-owing in the refrigerator.

• The sound can be heard when the compressor stops.

When refrigerant to cools down, the system can make
such a sound.

Doors do not open easily.

• Such case happens when you open the door right

after closing it. Do not try to force the doors to open;
wait about 20 seconds or so.

Front feels warm.

• Front part of cabinet may feel warm because of the

hot-pipe to prevent the forming of moisture.

Cracking sound comes out of the inside.

• When the parts inside shrink and expand due to

temperature change, such sound can be heard.

Freezer compartment door is opened and shut
slightly.

• When you shut the fresh food compartment door

quickly, the freezer compartment door is opened and

shut slightly of itself. That’s because of the condensed

air in the fresh food compartment run to the freezer
compartment by closing the door.

Frost forms inside the fresh food compartment

• When the surroundings are hot and humid, if you open

and shut the doors frequently. When you store watery
food unwrapped, frost may also form. It is all because
of the moisture in the air being trapped inside.

• When the outside(cabinet, doors) is stained with

cooking oil or dirt, wipe it out quickly.

• To keep the inside sanitary without odor or dirt,

regular cleaning required at least once a month.

• Spills of cooking oil, butter etc. can cause the parts of

plastics to crack.

In Cleaning

• Do not pour water to the refrigerator directly.

• Cleaning the inside, do not use chemical(alkaline)

detergent, wax, gasoline, alcohol, benzen, thinner,
hot(boiling) water, scrubber etc., cleaning the doors
and cabinet, avoid solvent, abrasives, spray-on
cleaners etc.

• Instead, use soft cloth with dish washer and clean up

with water, dry with a soft cloth.

After Cleaning

• See to the followings after cleaning. If something’s

wrong, call for service.

• Is the power cord peeled?

• Is the plug hot unusually?

• Did you plug in the outlet rmly?

Front & Rear Rollers

• When cleaning the oor under refrigerator or the

behind, shorten the hight adjusting feet until the

front rollers touch the oor enough and move the

refrigerator.

• After cleaning, level the refrigerator by turning the

feet.

EVAPORATION DISH

New evaporating system, no need to clean at ordinary

use. If it has to be cleaned due to strong odor at
midsummer, see the following instruction.

1) Unplug the refrigerator.

2) Unscrew the cover below back of refrigerator and

Helpful Hints

In case of power failure

• Do not open and shut the doors, if possible, then no

problem storing the food 2~3 hours long even in the
midsummer.

• In case of predicted power failure, do not store any

more food and make as much ice as you can to put
it on the upper shelf of fresh food compartment. The
inside would be kept cold.

When not using for a long time

• Clean the inside and leave the doors open for 2~3

days in order to prevent mold development or odor
saturation.
