3. Looks Out lf Order, But, Not.

■Before calling for service, check the followings.

Foods freeze in the fresh food compartment

■

Has the temperature been on “7” 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 firmly secure.

Refrigerator does not get cold enough.

■

Has the temperature been on “1” continuously? Set the temperature to “4”.

■

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

■

Is the inside filled 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 Not Wrong or Out of Order In These Cases...

Moisture is forming on
cabinet surface !

It sounds water-flowing
in the refrigerator.

Doors are not
opened easily.

Front feels warm.

Cracking sound comes
out of the inside.

Freezer compartment door
is opened and shut slightly.

Tiny frostwork forms inside
of the fresh food
c o m p a r t m e n t

• Moisture can be formed during the rainy season or through continuous

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

• The sound can be heard when the compressor stops.

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

• Such case happens when you open the door right after closing it.

Do not try to force the doors to open; wait about 30 seconds or so.

• Front part of cabinet may feel warm because of the hot-pipe to prevent

the forming of moisture.

• When the parts inside shrink and expand due to temperature change,

such sound can be heard.

• 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.

• When the surrounding is hot and humid, if you open and shut the doors

frequently such happens. When you store watery food unwrapped,
such frostwork may form too. It’s all because of the moist in the air
clung to the inside.

Refrigerator is noisy.

■

Is the floor firm 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 flowing 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.

7. Helpful Hints

When you replace the light bulbs

Light bulb of fresh food compartment

* Call the service center when you get the bulbs or too hard for you to replace it.

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.

1. Unplug the refrigerator.

2. Pull out the shelf.

3. Insert your finger into the groove under the light bulb and
turn to take it out.

4. Replace it with the same size and type of bulb.

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.

8. Efficient Storage of Foods

■Be sure to wrap foods - fish, meat, etc. - to be stored in the freezer compartment to avoid odor.

Keep foods clean ! Cool down to room temperature ! Divide foods into one-time serving !

■Be suWipe the packed foods,

wash vegetables.

Wipe out

■If hot food is put in immediately,

the temperature inside rises up,
keeping foods fresh impossible,
resulting in waste of electricity.

Hot Food

■Dividing food into one-time

serving and storage makes it easy
to take out, enhancing
refrigerating power. Frozed food
can be thawed easily.

d i v i d e !

Wrap foods ! Do not fill the inside up ! Open and shut doors quickly !

■Make sure to wrap foods such as

Kimchi and fish in order to
prevent drying and odor.

■Too much food will interfere with

cold air circulation. Do not place
watery food close
to the cold air
d u c t s .

■

Frequent opening and shutting doors
causes loss of cold air, waste of
electricity
weakening of
refrigerating
