Action
Checkup Point
Plug in the refrigerator.
Set the temperature mode to Middle or
High.
Move to a place where there is no direct
sunlight, no heat appliences around.
Keep sufficient space (more than 10cm)
between refrigerator back and the wall.
Set the temperature to [Middle] or [Low].
Foods can be frozen if ambient temperature
is below 5 . Move to a place where the
temperature is over 5 .
Place foods with moisture on the shelves
close to the doors.
Move the refrigerator to a level and even
floor.
Keep sufficient space.
Remove any object a way which touches the
refrigerator.
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.
A refrigerator is neither a perfect nor a
permanent foods keeper.

Frost &
Dew
Dew on the interior lights cover
Dew on the cabinet surface
Explanation
Pipes (refrigerant vessel) are placed beneath the
surface to prevent moisture forming on it.
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.
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.)
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.
Compressor or fans for cold air circulation can make
such working sound. (If the refrigerator is not level, the
sound can be louder.)
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.
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.
In case it is highly humid around the refrigerator,
moisture in the air sticks to the surface to form the
dew.
