●

This refrigerator has one temperature control button for the refrigerator compartment and one temperature control dial for the freezer compartment.

●

The default setting of the temperature control button for the refrigerator compartment is ‘3°C’.

●

The default setting of the temperature control dial for the freezer compartment is '4'.

●

●

If an error code is displayed, contact a service center. Do not disconnect the power cord from the outlet.

CONTROLS FOR FREEZER COMPARTMENT

●

The higher number the control setting is, the lower the

temperature of the freezer compartment becomes.

●

Since the temperature of the refrigerator and freezer

compartments is controlled with a fixed amount of

cooled air, the refrigerator compartment will be warmer if the freezer

compartment becomes colder.

●

When the freezer compartment is not cold enough in winter,

adjust the control for the freezer to High(4~7).

●

Setting the Freezer Knob at will satisfy 4 STAR. Setting the Freezer Knob at NORMAL will have sufficient freezing effect, so it is recommended to set the Knob at NORMAL.
