Sound
Rattling noise ●Place the refrigerator on a stout and flat floor, make both adjustable legs
reach the floor and fixed the refrigerator. (P. 5)
●Do the sides or the back side of refrigerator or the power cord touch the
walls or furniture around the refrigerator?
→ Place the refrigerator so that it does not touch surrounding objects.
Noise bothers me. ●
The compressor or the fan may make loud noise when the refrigerator is being
cooled, such as when the refrigerator is not still cooled soon after installation,
the doors are frequently opened and closed, the temperature around the
refrigerator is high or Fast Freezer mode is set ON. This is not abnormal.
→ When the refrigerator has been cooled, the noise becomes small.
Rapping noise ●When the floor is uneven or the door is closed with a force, the
refrigerator shakes and generates noise.
→ Place a plate under the refrigerator to prevent it from shaking. (P. 5)
There is a noise all the
time.
●It is because that the rotation speed of the compressor is adjusted with
the inverter control. (Noise may not stop but it is not abnormal.)
Body
Front (or side) panel is hot. ●The left and right side surfaces may become hot to let out heat generated
when the refrigeration system operates. The temperature may become
50 °C to 60 °C (when the ambient temperature is 30 °C) after installation
or in the summer.
The side surface looks
warped.
●In the manufacturing process, the warpage or surface waviness may
occur, but this is not abnormal.
Door
The door is heavy when
opening it immediately
after closing.
●Air taken into the interior is suddenly cooled. The inner pressure becomes
lower than the external air momentarily. The doors seem to be pulled
towards inside.
Magnets do not stick to the doors.
●The doors are made of glass. Magnets do not stick.
Smell
The interior smells. ●Store strong smelling food in airtight containers.
●Odor often attaches to the interior walls.
→ Wipe the walls with a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm water.
Cooling
Does not get cold at all. ●Make sure that there is no power failure, the power cord is connected to
the outlet or the breaker is not operated.
Does not get cold enough. ●When you use the refrigerator for the first time, it will take 4 to 24 hours or
more (in the summer time, etc.) until the refrigerator begins to cool.
●Change the temperature setting to the colder setting. (P. 8)
●Make sure that foods are not blocking the cold air outlet. (P. 7)
●Do not place the refrigerator where it is subjected to direct sunlight. (P. 5)
●Secure sufficient spaces around the refrigerator. (P. 5)
●It may take the refrigerator longer time to be cooled if food is stuffed too
much.
Frost and dew ●Do not keep the door open for a long time or open frequently when
humidity is high.
●When a store bought accessory such as a tube stand is caught in the
door, remove it.
●If food is fallen in the back from the case in the freezer compartment or
the vegetable compartment, the door is not closed properly. Remove the
food.
●Frost or dew may be formed on the outer surface of the refrigerator when
humidity is high.
→ Wipe with a piece of dry cloth.
The food is frozen. ●Set the temperature setting to “Mid” (or “Cold”). (P. 8)
●Is the ambient temperature 5 °C or below?
→ Set the temperature setting to “Cold”. (P. 8)
●Do not put food with high water content near the cold air outlet in the
refrigerator (P. 7) or in the Fresh case.
