Where the floor is solid and level

• Unstable installation causes vibration and noise of refrigerator.
• Wooden floor or carpet can be discolored under the refrigerator.
• Doors look hanged down due to the twist of refrigerator unless it is leveled.

Where ventilation is good

• More than 10cm from 3 sides (left, right and back) is good enough for ventilation.
  Insufficient space causes the noise of vibration, weakening of refrigerating power and the waste of electricity.

Where there is little or no heat, moisture

• Direct sun lays, side heat of stove and gas range can weaken the refrigerating power.
• Avoid a place by the faucet or sink with much moisture and where water can splash. Rust and corrosion, short-circuit are surely made.
• Use hard board or plank on the concrete/cement floor.

Grounding

Grounding terminal is the green one connected to the power cord in the back of refrigerator.

Grounding is necessary where	water can splash easily ; bathroom etc.	there is much moisture ; basement etc.	any wet and/or watery places.
Grounding by using grounding wire	Bury copper plate to whitch grounding wire is connected 25 cm deep in the ground.
Grounding by using short-circuit breaker	Short-circuit breaker is a must where the floor is always wet, for example, fish shop, restaurant kitchen etc.
Grounding is not necessary	in case of using side-grounded outlet.	Side Grounded outlet	Grounding wire
You should not connect the ground wire to	water pipe, gas pipe, telephone line, lightening-rod. There can be explosion or fire.

3. Looks Out If Order, But, Not.

Before calling for service, check the followings.

Foods freeze in the fresh food compartment

Has the temperature been on "3" continuously?
Is the temperature near refrigerator less than 5^ ?
Was moist foods such as vegetables placed just in front of the cold air duct?

Refrigerator never get cold.

■ Is there no power failure?
■ Is the mains play firmly secure.

Refrigerator does not get cold enough.

Has the temperature been on "1" continuously? Set the temperature to "2".
Has too hot food put in? Check food storage state.
Is the inside filled with too much food?
■ Is either door open or did you open and shut the doors too often?
■ Is there a gas range or a stove near the refrigerator? Is it in direct sun-light? Check the installation place.

Refrigerator is noisy.

■ Is the floor firm and level or the refrigerator levelled well?
■ Is the back of refrigerator touching the wall?

Moisture collects inside.

Check if either door is open.
Did you leave the doors open too long or is moist food put with its lid off?

Moisture disappears naturally if doors are closed, but it's better to wipe it off with dry cloth.

Water is flowing out when moving the refrigerator.

Have you dried and emptied the evaporator dish?

Something smells.

Air ducts blocked with foods?
■ Is strong odoring food stored unwrapped? Check the food storage state.
* The vegetable cases are closed, so deodorizing is almost impossible.

Refrigerator Is Not Wrong or Out of Order In These Cases...

Moisture is forming on cabinet surface !	• Moisture can be formed during the rainy season or through continuous hot and humid days. Wipe out the surface with dry cloth.
It sounds water-flowing in the refrigerator.	• The sound can be heard when the compressor stops. When refrigerant to cools down, the system can make such a sound.
Doors are not opened easily.	• Such case happens when you open the door right after closing it. Do not try to force the doors to open; wait about 30 seconds or so.
Front feels warm.	• Front part of cabinet may feel warm because of the hot-pipe to prevent the forming of moisture.
Cracking sound comes out of the inside.	• When the parts inside shrink and expand due to temperature change, such sound can be heard.
Freezer compartment door is opened and shut slightly.	• When you shut the fresh food compartment door quickly, the freezer compartment door is opened and shut slightly of itself. That's because of the condensed air in the fresh food compartment run to the freezer compartment by closing the door.
Tiny frostwork forms inside of the fresh food compartment	• When the surroundings is hot and humid, if you open and shut the doors frequently such happens. When you store watery food unwrapped, such frostwork may form too. It's all because of the moist in the air clung to the inside.

When you replace the light bulbs

Light bulb of freezer compartment

In case of power failure

• Do not open and shut the doors, if possible, then no problem storing the food 2~3 hours long even in the midsummer.
  In case of predicted power failure, do not store any more food and make as much ice as you can to put it on the upper shelf of fresh food compartment. The inside would be kept cold.

When not using for a long time

Clean the inside and leave the doors open for 2-3 days in order to prevent mold development or odor saturation.

8. Efficient Storage of Foods

■ Be sure to wrap foods - fish, meat, etc. - to be stored in the freezer compartment to avoid odor.

Keep foods clean!

Be suWipe the packed foods, wash vegetables.

Wrap foods!

Make sure to wrap foods such as Kimchi and fish in order to prevent drying and odor.

Cool down to room temperature!

If hot food is put in immediately, the temperature inside rises up, keeping foods fresh impossible, resulting in waste of electricity.

Do not fill the inside up!

Too much food will interfere with cold air circulation. Do not place watery food close

to the cold air ducts.

Divide foods into one-time serving!

• Dividing food into one-time serving and storage makes it easy to take out, enhancing refrigerating power. Frozen food can be thawed easily.

Open and shut doors quickly!

Frequent opening and shutting doors causes loss of cold air, waste of

electricity weakening of refrigerating power.
