1. Temperature Control

Both freezer and refrigerator compartments have temperature controls. "MID" is recommended for normal use. Adjust to "COLDER" for large quantities of frozen food or ice cream. Use "FREEZER" setting solely for making ice.

2. Automatic Defrosting

The refrigerator automatically defrosts based on accumulated time calculated by a microcomputer. Water drains to the rear and evaporates.

3. Ice-making

Fill ice tray sections to the water line and insert fully. Do not overfill. Turn the lever to drop ice into the storage box. Do not attempt to make ice directly in the ice cube storage box to prevent breakage.

4. Sliding Case

This case is kept at a low temperature to preserve food freshness. Ensure it is fully pushed in before closing the door.

5. LED light in the vegetable case

Uses a special light spectrum to increase Vitamin C and preserve vegetable freshness through photosynthesis. Store vegetables in transparent containers for best results. Avoid scratching or adjusting the LED light.

6. Door Racks

Utilize door racks for small items. The free pocket with egg tray can store multiple eggs, or small items can be stored with or instead of eggs by flipping the tray.

Troubleshooting and error codes

SITUATIONPOSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTION
Not cooling at all!
  • It takes time to cool when starting use. In summer time, it may take approx. 24 hours until cooling.
  • Check that it is not unplugged or the circuit breaker has tripped.
  • Check for a power failure.
When the refrigerator fails to operate
  • Check if the power cord is plugged into the power outlet.
  • Check that the fuse (or circuit-breaker) has not blown.
When the refrigerator is cooling excessively
  • The temperature control dial may be set too high.
  • If you place foodstuffs containing a lot of moisture directly under the cool air outlets, they will freeze easily. This does not indicate a malfunction.
When you hear a sound similar to flowing water
  • The sound of flowing water is the flow of refrigerant (cooling gas). This does not indicate a malfunction.
When noise is produced by the fan grill of the refrigerator
  • The noise produced by the fan grill will stop at a certain fixed temperature. The airflow cooling system inside the refrigerator is powered by the operation of the fan motor and fan grill.
When noise is produced while the refrigerator door is open
  • When you open a door panel, plastic components switch swiftly between hot and cold, and this may produce noise. When the door is closed, the noise will remain until the difference in temperature is reduced.
When the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently
  • The food may be packed too tightly together, which blocks the flow of cool air.
  • You may have put hot or too many items into the refrigerator.
  • The door may not have been closed properly.
  • The door gasket may be damaged.
  • The refrigerator may not be well-ventilated.
  • There may be insufficient clearance between the refrigerator and the surfaces immediately beside and above.
  • The temperature control dial may not be properly set.
When the front of the refrigerator cabinet heats up
  • In order to safeguard against condensation, there is an anti-condensation pipe which heats up the front of the cabinet when actuated. When the front of the cabinet is warm, this does not indicate a malfunction. The more often the door is opened and closed, the more often the anti-condensation pipe is actuated. It is also actuated immediately after the refrigerator has been installed. In other words, the front of the cabinet often heats up.
When condensation forms on the exterior of the refrigerator
  • Condensation may form on the exterior when humidity is high, such as during the wet season. This is comparable to condensation forming on the outside of a glass when chilled water is poured in; therefore, it does not indicate a failure. Wipe dry with a dry cloth.
When the power plug is disconnected and reconnected, and the compressor ceases to rotate
  • When the power plug is disconnected from the power outlet and then immediately plugged in again, the compressor may not restart. Therefore, when unplugging the refrigerator, always wait at least 5 minutes before plugging it in again. If the compressor ceases to rotate completely, keep the refrigerator unplugged and wait at least 5 minutes before plugging it in again.
When the side panel of the cabinet heats up
  • The side panel of the cabinet will heat up when the door is opened and closed frequently, when installing the unit and when the unit operates in summer in high temperatures. In such cases, do not touch the panel. This heat buildup is due to the dissipation of heat absorbed from inside the cabinet over the whole of the side panel and does not indicate something wrong with the unit.
