Set the freezer compartment temperature to level 3, 

    and set the refrigerator compartment to level 3.

Set the temperature inside the freezer compartment to level 4

    or 5 and inside the refrigerator compartment to level 4 or 5.

● 

On very hot days, the cooling capacity could decrease, 

    ice cream could become soft, and the temperature in the door

    pockets could increase.

Is the door being opened frequently ?

Is the door touching food and not completely closing ?

 Is there anything such as a plastic bag caught between 

   the door gasket and the refrigerator main bod

y

, or are 

   there any gaps?

 Is it a hot summer day ?

Because the freezer compartment has priority to be 

   cooled during 

"

Quick Freezing

"

 operation, the temperature 

   inside the refrigerator compartment could increase.

 Is the temperature for the refrigerator compartment 

   set to level 4 or 5 ?

 Is the ambient temperature 5 ºC or less ?

 Is any moist food being stored such that it is touching 

   the back left wall of the refrigerator compartment ?

 Has any moist food been placed in front of the cold air 

   outlet or at the back of a refrigerator shelf ?

A

void opening and closing the door as much as possible.

 Moist food might freeze, so do not place it in front of the cold 

    air outlet or at the back of a refrigerator compartment shelf.

 Change the temperature setting for the refrigerator 

    compartment to level 3 or 2. When set to level 5 , food might

    freeze.

 If the temperature in the refrigerator compartment is set to

 level 1 , food is less likely to freeze.

 Because the food is touching the freezer compartment partition 

   whose temperature is comparatively low, the food might freeze. 

   Either increase the temperature setting or move the food away 

   from the compartment partition a little. 

W

e recommend that you open and close the door quickl

y

, and 

   open and close it as little as possible.

Confirm that there are no gaps when the door is closed.

● 

When the door is closed, be sure that no food or plastic bags are 

   caught between the door and the refrigerator main bod

Problems

Point to be checked

Does not cool at all.

Does not cool 

properly.

Food in the 

refrigerator

compartment

and vegetable 

compartment

freezes.

Condensation

Water is collecting 

either inside the 

refrigerator or on 

the floo

r.

Detailed Check Points and Countermeasures Page

 When the humidity is so high, condensation might 

   form on the outside of the unit, on the door gasket, 

   or on the door.

Also, after the door is opened and 

   closed, the cold air might make the door surface fog up. 

This is not unusual.

 Is condensation forming on the vegetable compartment

    drawer ?

 Is the door opened for a long time or opened and 

   closed frequently ?

 Is the door touching food, etc., and not closing 

   completely ?

 Did any water in a plastic bottle spill ?

 If the door is not closed completel

y

, condensation drips onto

   the inside of the refrigerator or on the floo

r

. Please close 

   the door completel

y.

 Store bottled water so it does not spill.

 Is the door securely closed ?

 If there are any gaps between the door and the refrigerator main 

   bod

y

, not only will the temperature inside increase, but 

   condensation or frost could also form. Please close the door

   securely.

 Wipe it o

ff with a dry cloth.

● 

Condensation is less likely to form if the temperature setting

   for the freezer compartment is changed to level 3 or 2.

This is because high humidity is maintained inside the drawer

   to prevent vegetables from drying out and to increase their life. 

   Wipe with a dry cloth.

 Decrease the number of times the door is opened and closed,

   and open and close the door quickly.

General Problems

If the refrigerator still does not operate properly, contact the retailer from where it was purchased.
