generated by the
refrigerator.
Operation sound lasts long.
Operation sound sometimes
becomes louder.
When other sounds such
as shown in the right
table are generated by the
refrigerator.
Check Item
Is the installation site level?
Does the soft floor material sink in around the legs due to the weight of
stored items?
− − − − −
Do the water supply container and/or water filter become dirty? Or does
ice become old?
− − − − −
Is any food which strongly smells stored without any wrapping?
" ■■■ " is selected in the temperature setting.
The surrounding temperature is lower than 5˚C.
Is it placed in front of the Cold Air Blowout Port?

Action and Reasons
This does not affect the refrigerator performance. Adjust the refrigerator
adjustable mount to keep it level if you want to correct it.
Lay a firm board which has more than 1cm thickness on the floor if the
refrigerator itself inclines.
This smell occurs because a lot of plastic parts are used in the
refrigerator, but the smell decreases gradually while cooling.
This is not malfunction.
Wash them regularly to prevent "slime" and/or "fur".
Chlorine may strongly smell because chlorine in tap water is condensed.
The deodorizing function cannot completely remove all smells.
Seal that kind of food with plastic film etc.
Switch it to " ■■ ".
Pg.22, 30
When the ambient temperature is low, the inside of the refrigerator may
cool overly. Switch the temperature setting to " ■ ".
Do not place food in front of the cold air blowout port.
A lid or plastic wrap can prevent freezing.
Hot air may come from the bottom of the refrigerator to exhaust the heat
generated when the cooling device operates.
The temperature may rise to 50 – 60 ˚C immediately after installation or
during summer.
It does not pose safety or performance problems, but avoid touching it.
Install a sturdy board with a thickness of 1 cm and then install the
refrigerator.
Pg.8
Install the refrigerator with clearance around it.
You may feel that the operation sound is loud because the compressor
operates in high-speed under the following conditions: the refrigerator
does not cool fully on the occasion such as using it for the first time,
opening/closing the door frequently, the surrounding temperature is high.
When it is set to " Quick ", operation sound of the compressor or the fan
motor gets louder because of high-speed revolution.
As the compressor operates slowly for energy savings, you may hear an
operating noise for a long time.
The operating power varies in response to changes in the inside
temperature of the refrigerator, and thus you may sometimes hear a
large noise.
These sounds are caused when the refrigerant flows or water flows/
evaporates to remove frost.
This is not malfunction.
It is the sound caused by the parts squeezed in change of the refrigerator
temperature.
This is not malfunction.
It is the sound caused by the electrical parts activating to control the
temperature in the refrigerator.
This is not malfunction.
These sounds are made when ice is separated from the ice tray of the
auto ice maker or water is supplied to the ice tray.
This is not malfunction.
To stop the sound, touch the
button to change it to " Off ".
Pg.27
This sound is caused when the refrigerator starts the operation to cool.
