If you store vegetables and fruits in the chilled room mode, they can be frozen.
If you store fish in the chilled room mode for a long time, it can deteriorate. Store it in the freezer compartment.
Do not place foods close to the cold air spout, for it can weaken cold air circulation.
Ice Cubes Maker
Pull out ice cubes maker and fill with pure water.
Do not pour water too much, for the ice cubes made get sticky and do not to separate easily.
Keep in mind not to go beyond the water line with an arrow mark when filling with water.
When ice cubes are ready, turn the handle clockwise to separate.
If ice cubes are not to fall easily, turn it to the end several times.

Food Storage Tips
Wash foods before storing.
Divide and separate foods into smaller pieces as possible.
Place watery foods or foods with much moisture in front of shelves (close to door side).
If they are placed close to the cold air spout, they can be frozen.
Warm or hot foods should be cooled down enough before storing to reduce power consumption and to enhance refrigeration performance.
Be careful in storing such tropical fruit as bananas, pineapples, tomatoes, for they can easily be deteriorated in lower temperature.
Keep enough space between the foods as possible. If too tight or too close, cold air circulation is hindered, resulting in poor refrigeration.
Never forget to cover or wrap foods to prevent odor of foods.

Before You Call for Service…
Please check up the following troubleshooting tips before you call for service !
Problem
Checkup Point
Action
It never gets cold inside. Freezing & refrigerating is not so good.
Is the refrigerator unplugged?
Is the temperature set to [Low Mode]?
Is the refrigerator under direct sunlight or is any heat appliance placed near it?
Is the space between refrigerator back and the wall too close?
Plug the refrigerator.
Set the temperature mode to Middle or High. Move to a place where there is no direct sunlight, no heat appliances around.
Keep sufficient space (more than 10cm) between refrigerator back and the wall
Foods in the refrigerator get frozen.
Is temperature set to [Strong]?
Is surround temperature too low?
Is foods with much moisture stored close to the cold air spout?
Set the temperature to [Middle] or [Low].
Foods can be frozen if ambient temperature isbelow 5 . Move to a place where thetemperature is over 5 .
Place foods with moisture on the shelves close to the doors.
Strange sound from the refrigerator
Is floor beneath the refrigerator uneven?
Is the space between refrigerator back and the wall too close?
Does other stuff touch the refrigerator?
Move the refrigerator to a level and even floor.
Keep sufficient space.
Remove any object a way which touches the refrigerator.
Odor or disgusting smell from the inside
Is food stored uncovered or unwrapped?
Are the shelves and pockets stained with foods stuff ?
Is food stored too long?
Be sure to cover and wrap the foods.
Clean them regularly. Once smell gets soaked to those parts, it is not easy to remove.
Do not store foods for so long. Refrigerator is neither a perfect nor a permanent foods keeper.
Something strange? Don’t worry. Here is the answer.
| Case | Explanation |
| Heat
Door
is
sticky | Front and side of refrigerator
feels warm or hot. | Pipes (refrigerant vessel) are placed beneath the
surface to prevent moisture forming on it. |
| Doors are not to open easily. | When you close the door and then open again
immediately, the door is not easy to open. Warm air
rushes into the inside to make the pressure difference.
In this case wait for a minute, then it will open easily. |
| Strange
Sound | It sounds like water is flowing from the refrigerator. | When the compressor starts to run or stops, refrigerant which makes the inside cold flowing in the pipes can make such a sound.
Defrosted water can also make such a sound. (This refrigerator adopts an automatic defrosting system.) |
| Something cracking or click sound. | Inside parts shrink and/or expand due to temperature change ---When the inside gets cold or when the door is open ---such sound can be made. |
| Humming or buzz sound. | Compressor or fans for cold air circulation can make such working sound. (If the refrigerator is not level, the sound can be louder.) |
| Frost & Dew
Dew or frost on the wall and/or food container surface in the freezer and refrigerator compartment. | Frost and/or dew can be made in the following cases;
High temperature and/or high humidity around the refrigerator
When doors are open too long
Foods with much moisture are stored uncovered or unwrapped
You can see the same appearance when cold water is poured in a glass cup and dew is forming on the surface of it. |
| Dew on the interior lights cover | The light bulb radiates heat while it is on, so when doors are open too long, dew can form on the light cover due to temperature difference. |
| Dew on the cabinet surface | In case it is highly humid around the refrigerator, moisture in the air sticks to the surface to form the dew. |
Installation Preparation
Check if the refrigerator can pass a doorway or enter a door first.
Dimensions( including Door Handles)
(WidthDepthHeight) 928mm × 816mm × 1808mm
a suitable place to install.
Sufficient space from refrigerator back to the wall for free air ventilation
Avoid direct sunlight.
If the refrigerator can not enter the door, follow these steps.
Removing Freezer Door
Remove front bottom cover first, if it is attached.
1 Unscrew top hinge cover with a screw driver. Insert a thin screw driver into the side groove of the cover to remove.
2 Turn top hinge fastener counterclockwise 3~4 times. (Just make it loose ; do not remove.) Disconnect the harness wires. Loosen hinge screws for several turn. (Just make them loose ; do not remove.)
3 Lift up the front of hinge to remove. ( After the hinge is removed the door can fall down forward. Be careful !)
4 Lift the door straight up to remove.

Refrigerator Leveling & Door Adjustment ( If needed.)
Refrigerator must be level in order to maintain optimal performance and desirable front appearance.
(If the floor beneath the refrigerator is uneven, freezer and refrigerator doors look unbalanced.)
- In case freezer door is lower than refrigerator door...
1 Insert a screw driver (flat tip) into a groove of the left wheel (bottom of freezer) and turn it clockwise until the door is balanced. (clockwise to raise freezer door; counterclockwise to lower) Unless the freezer door is balanced by step 1, then follow the next steps.
2 Open the doors, unscrew the front cover and remove, if it is attached.
3 Loosen 3 hinge bolts(1 on the left + 2 on the right) a little. (Do not unfasten them completely.) Insert a hexagonal wrench into the groove of adjusting nut and turn clockwise until the door is level.
Once the door is balanced, fasten the hinge bolts tightly and screw the front cover.
In case refrigerator door is lower than freezer door...
1 Insert a screw driver (flat tip) into a groove of the right wheel (bottom of refrigerator) and turn it clockwise until the door is balanced. (clockwise to raise refrigerator door; counterclockwise to lower)
Unless the refrigerator door is balanced by step 1, then follow the next steps.
2 Loosen 3 hinge bolts(2 on the left + 1 on the right) a little. (Do not unfasten them completely.) Insert a hexagonal wrench into the groove of adjusting nut and turn clockwise until the door is level.
Once the door is balanced, fasten the hinge bolts tightly.
Front Cover
After installation and/or door leveling, fasten front cover with screws.(Remove the screws on the front bottom panel first. Click and screw the cover)
- The front of refrigerator needs to be higher just a little than the back for easy door closing, but if the wheel is raised too much for door balance, i.e. front of refrigerator is too higher than the back, it can be difficult to open the door.
Door gap adjusting
In case top and bottom gap of both doors are not the same, take the following steps to adjust. (gap beteen the top right edge of freezer door and top left of refrigerator door)
1 First unscrew and remove top hinge covers.
refer to page 16~17
2 Turn the hinge fastener counterclockwise 2~3 times just to loosen. (Do not remove the fastener.)
Adjustment of freezer door
Moving to the right
1) Loosen the left screw(2-2) enough. (Do not remove the screw.)
2) Turn the right screw(2-1) clockwise, then hinge and top of freezer door moves to the right.
3) Once the gap is adjusted, fasten the left screw(2-2) tightly.
Moving to the left
1) Loosen the right screw(2-1) enough. (Do not remove the screw.)
