How to use interior parts
●The first case or drawer of the refrigerator compartment can be
used either as a vegetable case or as a chilled case for your
convenience.
The temperature in the chilled case is somewhat lower than the
vegetable one, so you can keep food more fresh.
●If you store vegetables and fruits in the chilled room mode, they can be frozen.
●If you store fish in the chilled room mode for a long time, it can deteriorate. Store it in the freezer compartment.
●Do not place foods close to the cold air spout, for it can weaken cold air circulation.
➊ Pull out ice cubes
maker and fill with
pure water.
❷ When ice cubes are
ready, turn the handle
clockwise to separate.
●If ice cubes are not to fall easily, turn
it to the end several times.
●Do not turn the separation handle if
the ice cubes are not ready, for they
gets sticky on the ice tray and case.
❸ Do not use ice cubes
case to make big ice
block, for it can be
broken.
Pull out the case, clean
and dry it if not used
(for a long time).
●Do not pour water too much, for
the ice cubes made get sticky and
do not to separate easily.
●Keep in mind not to go beyond the
water line with an arrow mark
when filling with water.

Wash foods before storing.
Divide and separate foods into
smaller pieces as possible.
Place watery foods or foods with
much moisture in front of
shelves (close to door side).
●If they are placed close to the cold
air spout, they can be frozen.
Warm or hot foods should be
cooled down enough before
storing to reduce power
consumption and to enhance
refrigeration performance.
Never forget to cover or wrap
foods to prevent odor of foods.
Be careful in storing such tropical
fruit as bananas, pineapples,
tomatos, for they can easily be
deteriorated in lower
temperature.
Keep enough space between the
foods as possible. If too tight or
too close, cold air circulation is
hindered, resulting in poor
refrigeration.
Food Storage Tips
● Egg case can be placed on a refrigerator shelf as you like.
●Do not touch or hold with wet hands foods (foods container) in the freezer
compartment.
☞There is a risk of chilblains (cold burn)
●Do not store medicine, academic research samples etc. in the refrigerator.

Problem Checkup Point Action
➊Is the refrigerator unpluged ?
󱂨Is the temperature set to [Low Mode] ?
󱂩Is the refrigerator under direct sunlight or is any
heat appliance placed near it ?
󱂪Is the space between refrigerator back and the
wall too close ?
➊Plug the refrigerator.
󱂨Set the temperature mode to Middle or High.
󱂩Move to a place where there is no direct
sunlight, no heat appliences around.
󱂪Keep sufficient space (more than
10cm)between refrigerator back and the wall.
It never gets cold inside.
Freezing & refrigerating is
not so good.
➊Is temperature set to [Strong] ?
󱂨Is surround temperature too low ?
󱂩Is foods with much moisture stored close to the cold
air spout ?
➊Set the temperature to [Middle] or [Low].
󱂨Foods can be frozen if ambient temperature is
below 5℃. Move to a place where the
temperature is over 5℃.
󱂩Place foods with moisture on the shelves
close to the doors.
Foods in the
refrigerator get frozen.
➊Is floor beneath the refrigerator uneven ?
󱂨Is the space between refrigerator back and the
wall too close ?
󱂩Does other stuff touch the refrigerator ?
➊Move the refrigerator to a level and even floor.
󱂨Keep sufficient space.
󱂩Remove any object a way which touches the
refrigerator.
Strange sound from
the refrigerator
➊Is food stored uncovered or unwrapped ?
󱂨Are the shelves and pockets stained with foods
stuff ?
󱂩Is food stored too long ?
➊Be sure to cover and wrap the foods.
󱂨Clean them regularly. Once smell gets
soaked to those parts, it is not easy to
remove.
󱂩Do not store foods for so long.
Refrigerator is neither a perfect nor a
permanent foods keeper.
Odor or disgusting

Something strange ?
Don’’ t worry. Here is the answer.
Case
Heat
Door
is
sticky
Strange
Sound
Frost
& Dew
Explanation
Front and side of refrigerator
feels warm or hot.
Doors are not to open easily.
It sounds like water is flowing
from the refrigerator.
Something cracking or click
sound.
Humming or buzz sound.
Dew or frost on the wall and/or
food container surface in the
freezer and refrigerator
compartment.
Dew on the interior lights cover
Dew on the cabinet surface
● Pipes (refrigerant vessel) are placed beneath the
surface to prevent moisture forming on it.
● When you close the door and then open again
immediately,the door is not easy to open. Warm air
rushes into the inside to make the pressure difference.
In this case wait for a minute, then it will open easily.
● Defrosted water can also make such a sound. (This
refrigerator adopts an automatic defrosting system.)
● When the compressor starts to run or stops,
refrigerant which makes the inside cold flowing in the
pipes can make such a sound.
● Inside parts shrink and/or expand due to temperature
change ---When the inside gets cold or when the
door is open ---such sound can be made.
● Compressor or fans for cold air circulation can make
such working sound. (If the refrigerator is not level,
the sound can be louder.)
Frost and/or dew can be made in the following cases ;
●High temperature and/or high humidity around the
refrigerator
●When doors are open too long
●Foods with much moisture are stored uncovered or
unwrapped
※You can see the same appearance when cold
water is poured in a glass cup and dew is forming
on the surface of it.
●The light bulb radiates heat while it is on, so when
doors are open too long, dew can form on the light
cover due to temperature difference.
●In case it is highly humid around the refrigerator,
moisture in the air sticks to the surface to form the
dew.

Installation Preparation
Dimensions( including Door Handles)
(Width*Depth*Height) 928mm ×816mm ×1808mm
※Sufficient space from refrigerator back to the
wall for free air ventilation ※Avoid direct sunlight.
● Once the installation place is ready follow the installation instructions.
If surround temperature of refrigerator is low (below 5℃), foods can be frozen or the refrigerator can work
in abnormal way.
Check if the refrigerator can pass
a doorway or enter a door first.
Find a suitable place to install.

※Remove front bottom cover first, if it is attached.
If the refrigerator can not enter
the door, follow these steps.

● Once the door is balanced, fasten the hinge bolts tightly and screw the front cover.
In case freezer door is lower than refrigerator door...
• The front of refrigerator needs to be higher just a little than the back for easy door
closing, but if the wheel is raised too much for door balance, i.e. front of refrigerator
is too higher than the back, it can be difficult to open the door.
