SAFETY WARNING

(R-600a models only)

This appliance contains a certain amount of isobutane refrigerant (R600a) a natural gas with high environmental compatibility that is, however, also combustible.

When transporting and installing the appliance, care should be taken to ensure that no parts of the refrigerating circuit are damaged.

Refrigerant squirting out of the pipes could ignite or cause eye injury. If a leak is detected, avoid any naked flames or potential sources of ignition and air the room in which appliance is standing for several minutes.

• In order to avoid the creation of a flammable gas-air mixture if a leak in the refrigerating circuit occurs, the size of the room in which the appliance may be sited depends on the amount of refrigerant used.
  The room must be 1 m ^3 in size for every 8g of R600a refrigerant inside the appliance. The amount of refrigerant is shown on the identification plate inside the appliance.
• Never start up an appliance showing any signs of damage. If in doubt, consult your dealer.

Troubleshooting Guide

Before calling for service, check the followings.

Foods freeze in the fresh food compartment

- Has the temperature been on "MAX" 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 "MIN" continuously? Set the temperature to "NORMAL".

- 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 do not open 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.

Frost forms inside the fresh food compartment

- When the surroundings are hot and humid, if you open and shut the doors frequently. When you store watery food unwrapped, frost may also form. It is all because of the moisture in the air being trapped inside.

• 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.
