correct voltage.
Your refrigerator has a grounding plug,
use it correctly.
The 3-point plug must be inserted into
a mating 3-point grounded receptacle.
The ground point should never be cut or
removed.
Turn on the power of the refrigerator
as soon as possible.
The refrigerator will not be damaged even if you
turn on the power immediately after the installation.
How to remove the energy label
Remove the energy label carefully. A glue residue may remain, particularly
if the label has been in place for a long period of time.
Apply either Eucalyptus or Tea Tree oil directly on any residue.
Do not allow the oil to run or drip onto plastic parts as it may cause the
plastic to degrade and potentially crack over time.
Allow the oil to sit for approximately 1-2 minutes, or until the glue residue
has softened.
Wipe off with a damp cloth.
If any residue remains, repeat the above process.
Rinse with clear water.
Dry thoroughly.

When closing the door, food can get in the way
causing the door not to close properly.
This can cause frost to form in the inside, or
improper freezing, and will cause a malfunction.
This may damage food and the Freezing Case, as
well as the ice cube box.
Ice making
1. Pour water into each of the sections
of the ice tray up to the water line.
Insert the tray completely into the
ice tray holder.
The ice cubes will not separate
easily from the ice tray if you add
too much water.
2. Once the ice cubes are made,
turn the lever until the ice cubes
fall into the ice cube storage box.
Notice
The ice cube storage box will break if you attempt
to make ice directly in the ice cube storage box.
User tip
Ice made with water containing a lot of mineral
substances such as mineral water, can cause ice
to form with a white sediment (white crystals).
These are only mineral substances that have
become crystallized. It is harmless.
If ice is stored for a long period of time, the ice
cubes may cling together or become smaller.
(This is known as the phenomenon of sublimation.)
If you are going to break clinging ice cubes apart,
be careful that you do not injure your hands.

Have you put in strong-smelling foods
without using a food wrap?
Is the Ice Tray unclean?
If the smell is strong, the odour-removing device
cannot remove it all, so please wrap such items.
Please do a regular cleaning maintenance.
The odour bothers me
(Food items / ice).
Is the refrigerator installed near a TV?
Is the power source for the refrigerator
taken from near the antenna cable inlet?
Please set your refrigerator at a distance from TVs, etc.
We recommend a single power outlet
and that earthing is done.
I get static noise
from the TV, etc.
After defrosting it is normal for the
sound level to increase.
Sometimes, a whirring or rumbling
sound is heard.
Sometimes after opening a door, a cracking
sound or the sound of dripping water
is heard from within the refrigerator.
These are the sounds of the flowing
refrigerant (gas).
A creaking or cracking sound is made
when warm air has entered the refrigerator,
causing the plastic parts to expand.
After the defrosting, there are times
when the refrigerator is noiser.
Loud or disturbing
noises.
The noises listed to
the right are normal.
Why is
it hot?
This is because there is heat radiating from the sides and top
of the refrigerator, there is dew prevention piping and there is
a fan below expelling radiating heat. Right after installation or
during the summer, especially if it is hot outside (about 50~60 oC),
warm air can come out from under the unit. This operation is
necessary to keep the unit cool and there is no problem.
The outside of the
unit gets hot
There is air coming
from the floor.
When you hear noise from the lower rear of the refrigerator
Part of the cooling system is the compressor, which does create a noticeable increase in noise level when operating.
This is normal. However, if the noise is quite loud, this could be because the refrigerator is not installed correctly on a hard
level surface, or there may be a problem that may need service.
