Lay a board with 1cm thickness on the floor if the
refrigerator is installed on the carpet, tatami mat,
flooring or PVC sheet flooring which may be hollow
or discolor.
● Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight
and heat.
This will reduce adverse effects to refrigerating
power and keep electricity cost down.
● Do not place it in damp areas, and ensure good air
ventilation.
This will prevent the refrigerator from rusting and
dew condensation.
● The place should be separated from other equipment.

of 2 cm or more. This also prevents
vibration noise or dew condensation
on the rear wall due to high humidity.
Notice
● Depending on the material or strength of a
floor on which the refrigerator is installed or
the weight of food put in it, a door may sag
in several days (about five days) after the
installation.
If this happens, adjust the parallelism between
the doors again.
● Installing the refrigerator on an unlevel floor or
sinking of its leg(s) due to a floor which is not
strong enough to support the weight of food
may cause a difference in level between the
right and left doors.
This does not affect the refrigerator function.
Adjust the parallelism of the doors according to
the left procedure if you want to correct it.
● Correcting any left/right lean and lifting slightly
the front side of the refrigerator until the door
can close easily and completely.
● When you release your hand from a refrigerator
door with the door open, the door may move,
but this is normal.
