Door Alarm
When the refrigerator or freezer door is left open, the door
alarm will sound.
• The door alarm will sound in 1 minute after opening the
door and again after 1 minute (once in each case).
• If the door is left open for approx. 3 minutes, the alarm
will sound continuously.
Deodorizing unit
Deodorizing catalyst is installed on the routes of cold air.
No operation and cleaning are required.
WARNING
■ Unplug the refrigerator first to prevent electric
shock.
■ Do not splash water directly on the outer cabinet
or the interior. This may lead to rusting and
deterioration of the electrical insulation.
IMPORTANT
To prevent cracking on inside surfaces and plastic
components, follow these tips.
• Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components.
• Some household chemicals may cause damage, so use
only diluted washing-up liquid (soapy water).
• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped
off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result.
Plasmacluster
The Plasmacluster automatically starts operating when
the refrigerator is powered on.
Notes about Plasmacluster operation
The ionizer inside your refrigerator releases clusters of
ions, which are collective masses of positive and negative
ions, into the refrigerator compartment. These ion clusters
inactivate airborne mold fungus.
• There may be a slight odor in the refrigerator. This is the
smell of ozone generated by the ionizer. The amount of
ozone is minimal, and quickly decomposes in the
refrigerator.
ENGLISH
NOTE
• To prevent damage to your refrigerator, do not use heavy
• If the power supply is disconnected, please wait for at least
5 minutes before re-connecting power.
• The glass shelves weigh approximately 2 kg each. Hold
firmly when removing from the cabinet or carrying.
• Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the inner
wall. This may cause the inner surface to crack.
Defrosting

maximize the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure
that the food is the freshest possible quality. The following
is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in
an airtight container.
• To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should
be loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags
(do not seal) and place in the fruit and vegetable crisper.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling
air to circulate efficiently.
• Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot
foods increases the temperature in the unit and
increases the risk of food spoilage.
• Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating
circuit with foods or containers; otherwise the foods will
not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
• Keep the door securely closed.
Before you call for service, check the following points.
ProblemSolution
For best freezing
• Quality of foods should be fresh.
• Freeze small quantities of food at a
time to freeze them quickly.
• Food should be properly sealed,
sealed tightly or covered.
• Evenly place the food in the freezer.
• Label bags or containers to keep an
inventory of freezing food.

Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet.
This may lead to the food freezing.
The outside of a cabinet is hot when
touched.
When there is refrigerator noise.It is normal for the refrigerator to produce the following sounds.
Frosting or dew generation occurs
inside or outside the refrigerator.
The foods in the refrigerator
compartment freeze.
It smells in the compartment.• Wrapping is required for the foods with strong smell.
Door alarm does not stop.• If the door alarm does not stop after closing all doors, it is a defect.
It is normal. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew generation.
• Loud noise produced by the compressor when operation starts
--- Sound becomes quieter after a while.
• Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor
--- Operating sound produced immediately after automatic defrost operation.
• Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound)
--- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may become louder from time
to time).
• Cracking or crunching sound, squeaking sound
--- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal
parts during cooling.
This may occur in one of the following cases. Use a wet cloth for wiping frost
and a dry cloth for wiping dew.
• When the ambient humidity is high.
• When the door is frequently opened and closed.
• When foods containing plenty of moisture are stored. (Wrapping is required.)
• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with temp. control set at MAX?
• Low ambient temperature may cause placed foods to freeze even if
refrigerator temp. control is set to MIN.
• Deodorizing unit cannot remove all of smell.
