• While pushing the front end knob of the bio deodorizer, pull it downward to disengage.

T o remove shelves in the refrigerating compartment

• Hold the shelf by the front and pull it forward of the rack.

To remove shelves in the chilled compartment

Disassemble

Reassemble

6-1) Refrigeration Cycle

6-2) Cool Air Circulation

• Cold air generated from the cooling system is distributed to the freezing compartment and the refrigerating compartment by the air circulation fan.

• In the freezing compartment, cold air is distributed to the compartment as well as to the shelves from the cold air exhaust port, food is frozen in the freezing compartment by cold air shower.

• Cold air that comes out of the

freezing compartment is absorbed back to the lower part of the cooling system through the suction port on the median divider.

• In the refrigerating compartment, cold air is distributed to the duct cover through the median divider. Cold air supplied to the duct cover passes through the refrigerating compartment.

• After cooling the refrigerating

compartment, cold air is absorbed to the lower part of the cooling system through the suction port on the median divider.

7. Circuit operation theory

1. Temperature Control and Operational Description of Other Functions

1. Temperature Control Part Design

2. Temperature Control Function

1)Selecting Freezer Temperature

Selecting “Quick cooling~Quick freezing”is possible with turning temperature control knob.

Controlled temperature of each temperature control knob position is as follows:

Knob Position

Controlled

Temperature

-15±1

Normal

-19.0

-21±1 -23±1

2)Selecting Refrigerator Temperature

Selecting ① ~ ⑧ is possible with turning temperature control knob.

Controled temperature of each temperature control knob position is as follows:

3. Defrosting Function

1)Defrosting is decided by the accumulated time of comp on.

2)Defrosting proceeds in order of heating → recess time.

3)The first defrosting function after the initial power on starts with 4 hours of accumulated time of comp on, and then it repeats its function at every 8th hour of comp on.

4)In the process, controlling of defrosting heater ON/OFF is done by EVA-SENSOR. When the quality of EVA-SENSOR is poor (short/open) defrosting will be terminated only after recess time function without heating.

5)In the process, comp and fan maintain ON condition, after defrosting heating it operates with 10 min. recess time.

6)defrosting heating point ON and OFF operates by EVA-SENSOR and each temperature is as follows:

Caution) As this controller is by the ROTARY S/W, in case it is off the position, it is set to step 4 automatically.

4. Testing Function

This function is for PCB and test of products, work process test, and SVC.

After checking the product's function by selecting TEST S/W, let the self-diagnosis function

start with the POWER OFF and ON.

1)Forced Starting Function

COMP and FAN starts immediately after the TEST S/W on the Main PCB is pressed once. So

when the forced staring function is done right at the COMP OFF point, Over Load in the COMP may be caused. Extra caution is necessary.

When forced starting function is selected, COMP and FAN run for 24 hours regardless of the

freezer/refrigerator temperature and knob selection. Indicating Lamp on main PCB shows that it is a forced starting function by 0.5sec interval ON/OFF.

When a selected forced starting function is selected and maintains for 24 hours, defrosting

function starts its operation, and when defrosting is completed normal operation is carried out according to the temperature selection knob position.

To release it's operation during forced starting, power should be turned off and turned on

again or test release mode on 3) below should be selected.

2)Forced Defrosting Function

If test switch is pressed once more during forced starting function, it is released immediately and forced defrosting function starts, and the Lamp on main PCB shows that it's forced defrosting by 1.0 sec. interval ON/OFF.

When forced defrosting is selected COMP and FAN is turned off immediately, and defrosting

heater is turned on at the same time. At this moment if the sensed temperature of EVASENSOR is higher than -5.0℃, defrosting heater is not turned ON and operates only for recess time and returns to normal operation.

When Heating is completed it recesses for 10 mints. and after that indicating Lamp remains

ON and returns to normal operation.

3)Test Function Release Mode If TEST S/W is pressed once more when forced defrosting function is carried out, forced defrosting is released and stops for 10 mints. and after that it returns to normal operation.
