Installation

1. Install on a rigid and level floor.
2. Please use this refrigerator in a room temperature between 10° C to 43° C. Sufficient performance may not be obtained, if the room temperature is too low or too high.
3. Do not install the refrigerator where it is exposed to direct sunlight or other heat source.
4. Install in an atmosphere which is dry or has air ventilation.
5. The refrigerator requires enough air ventilation space around the cabinet to have efficient cooling performance. Space of at least 30 cm over the top, 10 cm at rear and 5 cm at both sides for proper air circulation.
6. Ground the refrigerator to prevent electric shock and noise interference. Always ground this refrigerator, when using it in places with high humidity or moisture (Please consult with retailers).
7. Make the refrigerator stand horizontally by adjusting the leveling legs (adjustor).

■ Without adjusting the legs, door height may not be level, or there may be abnormal vibration or noises depending on floor conditions. Follow the instructions below.

① Turn the adjustable legs to lower the adjustable legs until they touch the floor firmly.
② Compare the height of left and right doors and lower adjustable leg whose door height is lower than the other until the both door height become level.

- Turn the adjustable leg for 1 turn makes approx. 1mm door height change.

- It will take several days until the legs fits the floor and the door height becomes stable.

Before Use

1. Clean inside the refrigerator. Wipe the surface gently with soft cloth.
2. Connect the refrigerator to an exclusive wall power outlet. The refrigerator can be connected to an outlet soon after it is installed. Surely use with the rated voltage and exclusive power outlet.
3. Allow enough duration for sufficient cooling before storing food. It may take about 4 hours to fully cool down and could even take about 24 hours when the ambient temperature is high.

Optimal Food Storage

1. Keep enough space between food. Several food placed to close together may obstruct the flow of cold air.
2. Make food cool enough before putting it in the refrigerator. Putting warm food in the refrigerator raises the inside temperature and wastes electricity.
3. Do not block the cold air vent. This will adversely affect the cold air flow and may not keep the temperature inside even. Moreover, it could result in freezing food near the vent.
4. Using food wrap or sealed containers prevent the food from drying on transition of smells.

Troubleshooting

Before you call for service, please check the following items:

The refrigerator does not get cold at all.	Is the refrigerator plugged in properly?Check the fuse box for blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.
The refrigerator does not get cold enough.	Is the refrigerator placed in the direct sunlight?Is the refrigerator placed near a heat source?Is the temperature control dial set to "cold"?Has anything hot been placed in the refrigerator?	Is the food stored too much?Is the door being opened and closed too frequently?Is the door being slightly open?
Food in the refrigerator compartment freezes.	Is the temperature control dial set to "coldest"?Do you place the high moisture food and vegetables at the inner part of the shelf nearby the cold air vent?They will be frozen if being placed nearby the cold air vent.
The inside is smelling.	Do you store odor food without wrapping it?
Sound is noisy.	Make sure the refrigerator is installed firmly.	Is the refrigerator touching the wall?
Frost forms on the wall of the freezer room	Did you make too many ice cubes in the freezer room?Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time,Then it frost forms on the wall.
There are waving and/or distortions on the door surface, the side and the top surface of the refrigerator	Slight waving and/or distortions are generated in the manufacturing process of the refrigerator.They may be conspicuous according to the position of the light source and/or the brightness etc., but there is no problem with performance.

This is not a malfunction of the refrigerator.

The surface of the refrigerator is hot.	● The refrigerator contains the dew prevention and heat radiation pipes.● Especially the back may be heated when starting up or if the door is frequently opened and closed.
If a door is shut, other doors may open.	● The air duct of two compartment is connected. When close one of the door, another door may be opened by the wind pressure. This is a normal phenomenon.
Does it have any abnormal sound?	● The sounds like water flowing and boiling water are sound of the cooling liquid (refrigerant).● A creaking sound comes from the storage compartment. It is the sound caused by friction of the parts due to temperature change.

	General operation	Please check here	Possible causes and /or Recommended solutions
Dew or Frost is generated	Frost or ice is generated in the freezer compartment	The door of the freezer compartment was not left open temporarily?	Check that the wrapping paper of the food is not getting caught in order not to make gap between door and door gasket when you close the door.
		The door of the freezer compartment was not opened frequently or longer time than necessary?	When the door is opened frequently or if the door is opened when the humidity around the refrigerator is high, moisture in the air may be turned into some frost or ice on the inner wall or component of the freezer compartment, or around the air channels. This is not a failure. Please try not to open the door too many times or for a long time. Also, please wipe frost or ice generated in the freezer compartment off with use of a dry cloth.
		Making extra ice by using an additional ice-tray which was not originally installed in the refrigerator?	When the many containers in which water or liquid is stored are put in the same time, water or liquid may be evaporated and turned into frost or ice on the wall or component of the freezer compartment, or around the air channels. You can suppress these frost and ice by putting lid to avoid evaporation. Please wipe frost and ice off with use of a dry cloth.
	Dew is generated in the refrigerator compartment	The door of the refrigerator compartment was not left open temporarily?	Please check not to pinch the food or plastic bag between the door and door frame when you close the door.
		The door of the refrigerator compartment was not opened frequently or longer time than necessary?	When the door is opened frequently or if the door is opened when the humidity around the refrigerator is high, moisture in the air may be turned into some dew on the inner wall or component of the refrigerator compartment, or around the chilled air blow-off port. This is not a failure. Please try not to open the door too many times or for a long time. Also, please wipe off the dew in the refrigerator compartment with a dry cloth.	dew condensation
		Storing many vegetables containing much water?	The humidity of the vegetable compartment is higher than other compartments. Accordingly, depending on the amount or type of the vegetable, dew condensation may be generated on the plastic case of vegetable compartment. However, this is not a failure. When you do not want to have this kind of dew, please wrap your vegetables in a plastic film. Also, when the dew condensation happens many times, water may be accumulated in the vegetable compartment. Please wipe the water off with a dry cloth.
	Dew is generated on the outer surface of the refrigerator	The volume of humidity around the refrigerator is not high?	When the humidity rises such as in rainy day, some dew may be genera the outer surface of the refrigerator. Please wipe the dew off with a dry cloth.
		The temperature setting is not set as "Coldest"?	When the temperature setting is set as "Coldest", some dew may be generated on the outer surface of the refrigerator. Please set the setting as "Normal". Also, please wipe dew off with use of a dry cloth.

Why frost and dew are generated?

When warm and humid air contacts something cold, dew is generated. For example, if you put some ice in the glass in your room, air around the glass will be cold down and some dew may be generated on the outer surface of the glass.

In the same way, when warm and humid air enters into the refrigerator at the door opening, the warm and humid air contacts cold inner wall and little dew may be generated.

Accordingly, if the door opening is too frequent or too long, dew will be accumulated at every door opening. In some cases, dew may be frozen to generate some frost or ice flakes in the freezer compartment.

Severe warning signs for Disposal

Cyclopentane is used as in the insulation. The gases in insulation material require a special disposal procedure. Please contact your local authorities in regard to the environmentally safe disposal of this product.

About Non-Fluorocabon refrigerator
