Set the freezer compartment temperature to level 3,
and set the refrigerator compartment to level 3.
●
Set the temperature inside the freezer compartment to level 4
or 5 and inside the refrigerator compartment to level 4 or 5.
●
On very hot days, the cooling capacity could decrease,
ice cream could become soft, and the temperature in the door
pockets could increase.
●
Is the door being opened frequently ?
●
Is the door touching food and not completely closing ?
●
Is there anything such as a plastic bag caught between
the door gasket and the refrigerator main bod
y
, or are
there any gaps?
●
Is it a hot summer day ?
●
Because the freezer compartment has priority to be
cooled during
"
Quick Freezing
"
operation, the temperature
inside the refrigerator compartment could increase.
●
Is the temperature for the refrigerator compartment
set to level 4 or 5 ?
●
Is the ambient temperature 5 ºC or less ?
●
Is any moist food being stored such that it is touching
the back left wall of the refrigerator compartment ?
●
Has any moist food been placed in front of the cold air
outlet or at the back of a refrigerator shelf ?
●
A
void opening and closing the door as much as possible.
●
Moist food might freeze, so do not place it in front of the cold
air outlet or at the back of a refrigerator compartment shelf.
●
Change the temperature setting for the refrigerator
compartment to level 3 or 2. When set to level 5 , food might
freeze.
●
If the temperature in the refrigerator compartment is set to
level 1 , food is less likely to freeze.
●
Because the food is touching the freezer compartment partition
whose tenperature is comparatively low, the food might freeze.
Either increase the temperature setting or move the food away
from the compartment partition a little.
●
W
e recommend that you open and close the door quickl

Problems
Point to be checked
Does not cool
properly.
Food in the
refrigerator
compartment
and vegetable
compartment
freezes.
Condensation
(or frost) is forming.
Water is collecting
either inside the
refrigerator or on
the floor.
Detailed Check Points and Countermeasures Page
●
When the humidity is so high, condensation might
form on the outside of the unit, on the door gasket,
or on the door
.
Also, after the door is opened and
closed, the cold air might make the door surface fog up.
This is not unusual.
●
Is condensation forming on the vegetable compartment
drawer ?
●
Is the door opened for a long time or opened and
closed frequently ?
●
Is the door touching food, etc., and not closing
completely ?
●
Did any water in a plastic bottle spill ?
●
If the door is not closed completel
y
, condensation drips onto
the inside of the refrigerator or on the floor. Please close
the door completel
y.
●
Store bottled water so it does not spill.
●
Is the door securely closed ?
●
If there are any gaps between the door and the refrigerator main
bod
y
, not only will the temperature inside increase, but
condensation or frost could also form. Please close the door
securel
y.
●
Wipe it off with a dry cloth.
●
Condensation is less likely to form if the temperature setting
for the freezer compartment is changed to level 3 or 2.
●
This is because high humidity is maintained inside the drawer
to prevent vegetables from drying out and to increase their life.
Wipe with a dry cloth.
●
Decrease the number of times the door is opened and closed, and
open and close the door quickl
y.
