Dew condensation
occurs in the Vegetable
Compartment.
Don’t you place a large amount of vegetable containing much water?
As the Vegetable Compartment is more humid than the other
compartments, dew may be condensed in the case or ceiling of the
Vegetable Compartment or on the surface of food, depending on the
amount or type of vegetable stored there.
This is not abnormal state. To avoid dew condensation, wrap a
vegetable with plastic food wrap before storing it in the Vegetable
Compartment. Heavy dew condensation may cause water to be pooled
in the Vegetable Compartment. Wipe it off with a soft cloth.
Isn't the Moisture Unit blocked with food bags or containers?
A blocked Moisture Unit is likely to cause dew condensation. Move the
food bags or containers that block the Moisture Unit to other portions.
Wipe off the dew condensation with a soft cloth.

Compartment door doesn’t
close / When the Vegetable
Compartment door is
opened, the upper case

locking position.
Is any food, etc. caught between the
upper case and the lower case?
Remove it if any.
Isn’t a plastic bottle and/or food item
in contact with the handle of the Upper
Case?
Store PET bottle, food, etc. so that they don’t come in contact with the
locking handle.
Isn't food caught between the Upper
Case and Moisture Cover?
Remove it, if any.
Do not close the door with force while the food is in contact with the
