occurs in the
Vegetable
Compartment

● The door or the drawer compartment may not temporarily have been closed completely.
→ Check whether the drawer compartment or the door has been closed completely.
● The door may be opened/closed frequently or door may have remained open for a long time.
→ Reduce the number of times of opening and closing the door or open/close the door quickly.
● Frost or condensation is formed on the wall or any part of the freezer compartment due to the
moisture in the air when the door is opened or closed.
● Frost or condensation may be formed when the warm air contacts with inside the compartment
or the door frame.
● Dew may adhere to those parts when the indoor humidity is high (ex: rainy day).
● When the dew-proof heater is set to low, high humidity may cause condensation on the iron
partition, the door gasket or the door.
● When the temperature is set to "強 (MAX） " , it may cause condensation on the surface of the door.
→ Wipe it off with a dry cloth. Please set the temperature to "中 (MID)" .
● Condensation may form on the wall and/or around
the cold air blowout port when the door is opened
and closed frequently or the humidity is high around
the refrigerator.
→ Wipe the dew off with a dry cloth.
● The humidity in the Vegetable Compartment is higher than other compartments. (To prevent
vegetables from drying and to make them last longer)
→ If it is undesirable that dew adheres to the stored vegetables, wrap them with the plastic fi lm.
● Water may drop into cases placed in the Vegetable Compartment due to dew concentration.
→ Wipe off it with a dry cloth.
● "強 (MAX)" is selected in the temperature setting. → Switch it to "中 (MID)".
● The surrounding temperature is lower than 5˚C. → The temperature inside may go down too
much when the ambient air temperature is low. Switch the temperature setting to "弱 (MIN)".

● Do not place any food in front of the cold air blowout port.
● Installation place may not be horizontal.
Left side or right side of the door may be slightly lower when the left or right leg sinks because of
the soft fl oor material and the addition of food weight.
→ This does not affect the refrigerator performance. Adjust the refrigerator adjustable mount to
keep it level if you want to correct it.
→ Lay a fi rm board which has more than 1cm thickness on the fl oor if the refrigerator itself inclines.
● It is because the air that entered the Refrigerator Compartment is rapidly cooled and the pressure
in the Refrigerator Compartment temporarily lowers.
● Another door may open for a moment by the wind pressure because cool air path connects each
compartment.
● Hot air may come from the bottom of the refrigerator to exhaust the heat generated when the
cooling device operates.
→ The temperature may reach 50 ∼ 60˚C immediately after installation or in summer, but there is no
problem with the safety and the performance.
Please check. This is the cause.
