Suggestion for energy saving

Storing foods

• Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important factor in maintaining its freshness and flavor.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, and melons.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing, placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food, and lead to higher energy consumption.
• When storing the food, cover it with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from evaporating, and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, and cause temperatures to rise.

• Never keep too much food in door rack because they may push against by inner racks so that the door cannot be fully closed.

• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may be broken when frozen.

• Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This causes loss of taste and nutrient.
• When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf, not in the door rack.
• Do not touch the cold foods or containers- especially made of metallic -, with wet hands and place glass products in the freezer compartment.

• That's why you may have chilblains and they may be broken when their inner matters are frozen, causing personal injury.

• Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped, and packed food should be wiped, to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.

• When storing eggs in their storage rack or box, ensure that they are fresh, and always store them in an upright position, which keeps them fresh longer.

NOTE

- If you keep the refrigerator in a hot and humid place, frequent opening of the door or storing a lot of vegetables in it may cause dew to form which has no effect on its performance. Remove the dew with dust cloth free from care.

• Please do not keep the door open for a long time, close door in the shortest time.
• Too much food are not advised to be put in. Enough space should be kept for cool air circulating freely.
• Do not set the temperature of refrigerator lower than needed. Do not put the food near the temperature sensor.
• Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the fridge-freezer could spoil other food, and lead to higher electric bills.
• Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of cold air keeps fridge-freezer temperature even.
• Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the fridge-freezer, and cause temperature to rise.

Vacation time

Power failure

If you move

Anti condensation pipe

General information

During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life.

When you plan not to operate, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation.

Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures.

However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator.

To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.

The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation.

Don't be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerator to prevent "sweating" on the outer cabinet wall.

CAUTION

• You must check the O-RING, which is made by rubber and prevent electric spark.
• Don't touch the lamp, in case of light on the long time. Because it can be very hot.

Cleaning

It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle.

Exterior

Interior

Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry.

Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments a baking soda solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.

NOTE

- Please do not use a dishwasher to clean the lower drawers; the high temperature may cause damage to the baskets which make them unusable.

After cleaning

WARNING

Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or power plug is well inserted into the power consent.

Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.).

Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock.

Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface.

Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces.

It is Normal...

The following occurrences are normal.

	Occurrence	Solution
Noise	When you hear "Tak" or "Took" sound	This is the sound of various parts expanding/contracting or various control devices operating depending on the temperature change within the refrigerator.
	When you hear "Deureureuk~", "Dulkuk" or "Woong" sound	This is the count of compressor or fan operating when the operation of the refrigerator is starting or ending. This is the same phenomenon of the sound generated when starting or turning off the engine of a car.
	When you hear "Kureureuk" sound of water flowing	This is the sound of refrigerant changing the condition in the freezer/fridge. When the liquid changes to gas, you will hear the sound of water flowing and when gas changes to liquid, you will hear the "Kureureuk" sound.
	When you hear the sound of wind such as "Shoo~" or "Shik" right after you close the door	This is the sound generated when the internal pressure is temporarily lowered when the warm air entered through the fridge or freezer is cooled fast.
	When you hear the vibrating sound	If the refrigerator is installed on wooden floor or wooden wall, or if the refrigerator is not leveled properly, the sound can be loud from the vibration.
	When you hear a loud sound after installing the product for the first time	When you operate the refrigerator for the first time, the refrigerator will operate at high speed to cool fast and the sound can seem louder. When the internal temperature falls below a certain level, the noise will subside.
Door open	When the door is slightly opened after closing the door	Depending on the force or speed of closing the fridge or freezer door, the door can open slightly and then get closed.Be careful not to close the door to hard.
Icing/Dew drops	When there is icing or dew drops formed on the inner or outer side of the refrigerator	When external air flows into the cool inner surface of the refrigerator, icing/dew drops can be formed.Especially, this will happen more easily when you open and close the refrigerator door more frequently.Also if the humidity of the installed location is high or during the rainy season or on a rainy day, dew drops can form on the outer side of the refrigerator. This is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the humid weather. Wipe the water drops with a dry cloth.
Temperature	When the front side of the refrigerator is warm	Heat pipes are installed around the front part of the refrigerator and on the divider of the freezer and fridge to prevent the dew drops from forming. The refrigerator may feel warmer after the installation or during the hot summer, but this is not a problem and you can be rest assured.
