Check if the set is placed close to stove, gas,

cooker and direct rays.

Is the ambient temperature high or the room door

closed?

Check if putting in hot foods foods.

Did you open the door of the set too often or check

if the door is closed up?

Check if the Control is set to Min .

Are foods placed in cooling air outlet?

Check if the Display LED is set to 0-1 .

Is the ambient temperature below 5 C.

Is watery foods kept?

Check if putting in hot foods.

Did you open the door of the set too often or check

if the door is closed up.

Check if ambient temperature and humidity of

surrounding air are high.

Is the gap in the door packed?

Is the set positioned in a firm and even place?

Does any unnecessary objects exists in the back

side of the set?

Check if the Drip tray is not firmly fixed?

Check if the cover of mechanical room in below

and back side is taken out.

Check if the door packing becomes dirty by filth

such as juice.

Is the set positioned in a firm and even place?

Is too much food putted in the set?

Check if the inside of the set becomes dirty.

Did you keep smelly foods without wrapping?

It smells plastic.

Plug to the outlet.

Set the switch to ON.

Replace a regular fuse.

If voltage is low, wire newly.

Place the set with the space of about

10cm

Place the set apart from these heat

appliances.

Make the ambient temperature below.

Put in foods after they get cold cold.

Don t open the door too often and

close it firmly.

Dew or ice forms in

the chamber of the

set set.

Dew forms in the

Out Case.

Abnormal noise

generates.

is not handy.

Ice and foods

smell unpleasant.

In addition to the items describes left, refer to the following to solve the complaint.

Check if dew forms
