- The temperature control can vary depending on the environment and amount of food stored in the refrigerator.
To use all features
ECONAVI Operation
The refrigerator detects the opening and closing of the refrigerator door to automatically control operation to ensure maximum energy saving. *1
ECONAVI operates only when the temperature setting is "Med" for both the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
■ ECONAVI operation
- The refrigerator learns the lifestyle patterns of your family from door opening and time periods of infrequent use to maximise energy efficiency.
- The refrigerator learns your lifestyle patterns from the previous 3 weeks of use and uses that data from the 4th week onwards.
Settings for enabling ECONAVI operation
- ECONAVI operation is automatically enabled when the temperature control for both the freezer and refrigerator compartment is set to "Med".
- ECONAVI mode does not operate if the [Quick Freezing] mode is in operation.
- It is not possible to force the start of the ECONAVI mode.
Remark
*1 The effectiveness of the ECONAVI mode is dependent on the ambient temperature, the number of times the refrigerator door is opened and closed, and the state in which food is stored.
Quick Freezing
When [Quick Freezing] is set, the refrigerator will reduce the temperature quickly for better performance of preserving food.

Lamp is on: Quick freezing is on Lamp is off: Quick freezing not operate
- Press the [Freezer] button until "Green LED light at Quick Freezing" turns on. (Quick Freezing mode starts after 10 seconds.)
- The Quick Freezing operation will automatically stop after 60 mins (if ambient temperature is below 19°C) or 150 mins (if ambient temperature is above 19°C) and return to normal mode. (The Green LED light at Quick Freezing turns off)
- To stop the Quick Freezing operation, press the [Freezer] button until "Green LED light at Quick Freezing" turns off.
- A flashing green LED light at Quick Freezing indicates that the defrosting system is active. The Quick Freezing operation will start right after the defrosting operation is finished.
- The freezer temperature control will not operate during Quick Freezing mode, as the compressor is already at maximum operating levels for the Quick Freezing mode.
Food Stored
In order to preserve food quality for a long time, please store it in the right place.
When storing food...
- Foodstuff such as vegetables, fruits, and fresh food should be wrapped or packed in a box before freezing and refrigerating.
- If you put high-moisture content into the refrigerator, it should be sealed and wrapped to prevent dew and frost. Drinking water and beverage bottles should be sealed to prevent odor.
- Store fruits and vegetables in the vegetable case, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods.
