Action and Reasons
Check that any food or package caught in the door, and then close it
completely.
When a door is opened or closed, water in the air may cling to the walls
or parts in the Freezer in the form of frost or ice. Open or close the door
quickly, or reduce frequency of opening and closing the door. Wipe off
the frost or dew with a dry cloth.
Dew may adhere to those parts when the indoor humidity is high (ex:
rainy day). Wipe off the dew with a dry cloth.
When the temperature is set to " ■■■ ", dew may be formed on
the surface of a door. Set the temperature to " ■■ ".
Wipe off the dew with a dry cloth.
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. No trouble. Wipe it off with a
dry cloth.
Dew condensation
When it is undesirable that dew occurs, wrap food and then store.
Wipe it off with a dry cloth.
Switch it to " ■■ ".
Pg.41, 45
When the ambient temperature is low, the inside of the refrigerator may
cool overly. Switch the temperature setting to " ■ ".
Do not place any food in front of the cold air blowout port.
It indicates an abnormal condition.
Consult your dealer.
Some foods, etc. may come into contact with the ice tray.
Empty the Ice Compartment and do the "Ice Maker Cleaning".
Pg.51
It is in process of Ice Maker Cleaning.
The blink will stop in about four minutes. Do not open any door of the
refrigerator during blinking.
The Automatic Ice Maker is working.

Consult your dealer.
The refrigerator is in the demo mode. Please cancel the mode.
In the demo mode, the refrigerator does not perform the cooling operation.
Open the doors of the Refrigerator Compartment and the door of the
Lower Freezer.
Press and hold the "Freezer" button for 10 seconds or more until the

Lower Freezer.
Another door may open for a moment by the wind pressure because cool
air path connects each compartment.
Lay a firm board and then install the refrigerator thereon.
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 Freezer "/" Quick Fridge "/" 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 tem-
perature 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.
This sound is caused when the parts squeak as the refrigerator tempera-
ture changes.
This is not malfunction.
This sound is caused when the electric parts to control the refrigerator
temperature operate.
This is not malfunction.
These sounds are made when ice is separated from the ice tray of the
