Checks and Measures
Refrigeration is weak.
■
Check temperature set in the temperature control knob.
• Refrigerator is generally delivered with the button set at
normal use
(MID).
But customer can adjust the temperature set depending on their habit and taste.
If you feel the refrigeration is weak, then set the temperature control button at

■
Check the water storage location.
• If water is kept in the door rack, move it to a refrigerator shelf. It will then
become cooler.
Ice cream softens.
■
Explain the characteristics of ice cream.
• The freezing point of ice cream is below -15°C[5°F]. Therefore ice cream may
melt if it is stored in the door rack.
• Store ice cream in a cold place or set the temperature control button of a freezer
at
strong
position.
Refrigeration is too strong.
■
Check the position of temperature control button.
• Check if refrigeration is strong in whole area of the refrigerator or partly near the
outlet of the cooling air. If it is strong in whole area, set the control button at
