SAFETY

 INFORMA

TION

• If you have a long vacation 

or business trip and won’t 
use water or ice dispensers, 
close the water valve. 

 

-

Otherwise, water leakage 
may occur. 

• Wipe excess moisture from 

the inside and leave the 
doors open. 

 

-

Otherwise, odor and mold 
may develop.

• Do not spray volatile material 

such as insecticide onto the 
surface of the appliance.

 

-

As well as being harmful to 
humans, it may also result 
in an electric shock, fire or 
problems with the product.

• Do not apply strong shock 

or excessive force onto the 
surface of glass.

 

-

Broken glass may result 
in a personal injury and/or 
property damage.

• Do not keep vegetable oil in 

your refrigerator’s door bins. 
The oil can solidify, making 
it foul-tasting and difficult to 
use. In addition, the open 
container can leak and the 
leaked oil can cause the door 
bin to crack. After opening 
an oil container, it is best to 
keep the container in a cool 

and shaded place such as a 
cupboard or pantry.

 

-

Examples of vegetable oil: 
olive oil, corn oil, grape-seed 
oil, etc.

FOR CLEANING AND 
MAINTENANCE

by spraying water directly 
onto it.

•  Do not use benzene, thinner or 

alcohol to clean the appliance.

 

-

discoloration, deformation, 
damage, electric shock or fire.

•  Do not use or place any 

substances sensitive 
to temperature such 
as inflammable sprays, 
inflammable objects, dry ice, 
medicine, or chemicals near the 
refrigerator. 
Do not keep volatile or 
inflammable objects or 
substances (benzene, thinner, 
propane gas, etc.) in the 
refrigerator.

 

-

This refrigerator is for storing
