O, Vacation time Power failure If you move Anti condensation pipe /\ CAUTION Exterior Interior After cleaning WARNING General information During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator in operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life. When you plan not to operate, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation. Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator. To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base. The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation. Don't be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot refrigerator to prevent “sweating” on the outer cabinet wall. * You must check the O-RING, which is made by rubber and prevent electric spark. * Don t touch the lamp, in case of light on the long time. Because it can be very hot. Cleaning It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if allowed to settle. Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your refrigerator. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry. Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments a baking soda solution or a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry. Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or power plug is well inserted into the power consent. Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of electrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.). Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface. Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick or adhere to extremely cold surfaces. Occurrence Runing of refrigerator Refrigerator compressor does not run.

Noise Door open Icing/ Dew drops Temperature O It is Normal... The following occurrences are normal. Occurrence When you hear "Tak" or "Took" sound When you hear "'Deureureuk~", Dulkuk or Woong" sound When you hear "Kureureuk” sound of water flowing When you hear the sound of wind such as "Shoo~" or "Shik" right after you close the door When you hear the vibrating sound When you hear a loud sound after installing the product for the first time When the door is slightly opened after closing the door When there is icing or dew drops formed on the inner or outer side of the refrigerator When the front side of the refrigerator is warm Solution This is the sound of various parts expanding/contracting or various control devices operating depending on the temperature change within the refrigerator. This is the count of compressor or fan operating when the operation of the refrigerator is starting or ending. This IS the same phenomenon of the sound generated when starting or turning off the engine of a car. This is the sound of refrigerant changing the condition in the freezer/fridge. When the liquid changes to gas, you will hear the sound of water flowing and when gas changes to liquid, you will hear the "Kureureuk" sound. This is the sound generated when the internal pressure is temporarily lowered when the warm air entered through the fridge or freezer 1s cooled fast. If the refrigerator is installed on wooden floor or wooden wall, or if the refrigerator is not leveled properly, the sound can be loud from the vibration. When you operate the refrigerator for the first time, the refrigerator will operate at high speed to cool fast and the sound can seem louder. When the internal temperature falls below a certain level, the noise will subside. Depending on the fore or speed of closing the fridge or freezer door, the door can open slightly and then get closed. Be careful not to close the door to hard. When external air flows into the cool inner surface of the refrigerator, icing/dew drops can be formed. Especially, this will happen more easily when you open and close the refrigerator door more frequently. Also if the humidity of the installed location is high or during the rainy season or on a rainy day, dew drops can form on the outer side of the refrigerator. This is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the humid weather. Wipe the water drops with a dry cloth. Heat pipes are installed around the front part of the refrigerator and on the divider of the freezer and fridge to prevent the dew drops from forming. The refrigerator may feel warmer after the installation or during the hot summer, but this is not a problem and you can be rest assured.
