8-1-10 TEST Mode

1. The Test mode allows checking the PCB and the function of the product as well as finding out the defective part in case of

an error.

2. The test mode is operated by pressing two buttons at Display panel.

3. While in the test mode, the function control button is not recognized, but the recognition tone (beep~) sounds.

4. After exiting the test mode, be sure to reset by unplugging and then plugging in the appliance.

5. If an error, such as a sensor failure, is detected while in the test mode, the test mode is cleared and the error code is

displayed.

6. While an error code is displayed, the test mode will not be activated.

NOTE 

: LED CHECK MODE: When the refrigerator temperature control and the freezer temperature control button at the

same time are hold for 1 second or longer, every LED on the display turns on at the same time. when the button are
relesed, the previous mode is restored. 

* Freezer Fan RPM Variable Check:

In case the freezer fan is in operation when the ADJUST key in Refrigerator and Freezer Temp. Control are pressed for
more than one second at the same time freezer fan RPM changes. (for example if high speed, to normal speed or if
normal speed, to high speed for 30 seconds) 
After 30 seconds, it turns to its original RPM.

* Demonstration MODE:

1. When the ICE PLUS key and ADJUST key of refrigerator temperature control are pressed for more than 3 seconds at the

same time temperature’s it converts to demostration mode.

.

2. In this status, each LED is rotated with 1 second interval.
3. In this status, all Loads are off (Compressor / Fan / Damper / Heater)

(Even is Demonstration Mode, the refrigerator Lamp automatic off function works normally and can be demostrated)

4. It reset if you do again as clause.
