Installation
Installation
1. Place the refrigerator in the following locations.
●
Locations free from heat and direct sunlight
Minimize reduction of cooling power, and prevent electricity waste.
●
Well-ventilated locations with low humidity
Minimize rust and generation of condensation.
●
Sturdy and flat floors
With carpet, tatami mats, or vinyl floors, deformation or discoloration may occur,
so place a board underneath the refrigerator.
●
Place the refrigerator away from other devices
Prevent noise and jammed image display on TVs and other devices.
●
Locations allowing the power plug to be cleaned easily
Clean dust regularly.
(To prevent fire caused by dust.)
●
Locations that allow a heat to dissipate.
The back surface may be fitted to the wall.
(Leave a space when vibration noise or discoloration dirt of wall occurs.)
■
Before using the refrigerator for the first time.
• Wipe the inside of the refrigerator with a wet, soft cloth. (P. 14)
• Rinse the water supply tank, purification filter, and ice-making tray. (P. 15)
3. Plug into a wall outlet.
Plug into a wall outlet of the rated voltage on its own with the rated current and insert plug fully.
●
The power plug can be plugged into an outlet immediately after installation.
●
The surroundings and surfaces (side surfaces) of the refrigerator may become hot
(approximately 50
℃
to 60
℃
when the ambient temperature is 30
℃
) when the
power is turned on, but this is not abnormal. (P. 18)
●
If the power plug is removed, wait at least 7 minutes before plugging it back in. (P. 16)
4. Cool the refrigerator interior.
●
It may take approximately 4 hours to cool down the interior.
●
It may take 24 hours or more to cool down the interior and achieve equilibrium in the summer, etc.
●
Ice-making starts only after the interior has been cooled down sufficiently.
●
Do not open/close the doors until the interior has been cooled down sufficiently.
(Warm air flowing into the interior will block the cooling function.)
■
Do not peel the seals on the back.
They seal openings of a thermal insulation material.
Peeling them off causes a decrease in chilling.
If you have peeled one of them, then cut a cloth packing tape into a square and reseal.

ECO NAVI Operation
ECO NAVI lamp is on during ECO NAVI operation.
ECO NAVI operates only when the temperature setting is
「
"2"
」
for both the freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
• Learns the lifestyle patterns of your family from opening and closing of doors,
and predicts the time periods of infrequent use to perform ECO NAVI operation.
The refrigerator learns your lifestyle patterns from the
previous 3 weeks, and uses what it has learned from
the 4th week onwards. Therefore, the ECO NAVI lamp
ON/OFF pattern may change from the 4th week onwards.
• Performs ECO NAVI operation when it becomes dark
※
around the refrigerator, such as when you are asleep.
• The brightness of the lamp is lowered approximately 5 minutes after the lamp turns on.
• The lamp can be turned off if it bothers you. (P. 17)
ECO NAVI operation may not be performed depending on the usage state of the refrigerator
.
(P. 17)
※
Darkness is detected by the light intensity sensor at approximately 3 to 10 lux or less.
■
For saving energy
• Do not stuff food into the compartments.
That may interfere with the cold air flow. Provide sufficient space between foods.
• Open/close the doors minimum times.
Minimizing the number of times the door is opened/closed prevents cool air
from escaping and reduces the amount of wasted electricity.
• Do not block the cold air outlet with food items.
If cool air does not spread into every corner of compartments, then the interior
will not be sufficiently cooled and more electricity will be consumed.
• The cold air discharges out of the outlet of the duct at the back (P. 10).
• Store warm food and drinks after they have cooled.
Otherwise, they will not only raise the interior temperature, but also affect the freshness of other foods.
2. Fix the refrigerator.
①
Remove the front grille.
Insert hands underneath the “
⇩
” on both
sides of the front grille and pull it out.
②
Turn the adjustable legs (right and left)
until they reach the floor to stabilize the refrigerator.
③
Reattach the front grille.
●
If the refrigerator has not been stabilized completely, then you may hear rapping
noises when the door is opened/closed. (This will not affect the performance.)
Install the refrigerator on sturdy and flat floors.
■
If the door is slanted downwards.
Turn the adjustable leg on the lower side, as
shown in the diagram on the left, in order to
adjust the level.
・
The freezer/refrigerator doors may tilt
within 4 to 5 days after installation due
to the load of the food or adaptation to the floor surface.
In this case turn the adjustable legs again to restore.
・
If it does not help, then use an adjustment
