Beginning Use

• The refrigerator takes time to cool complet
  • Wait until the refrigerator has sufficiently cooled before storing ice cream and foods cooler than room temperature.
  • Do not open the doors more than necessary, and close them as soon as possible.
  • In summertime, it may take more than 24 hours to make ice immediately after installation.
• There may be a plastic odor.
  • This odor will gradually disappear.
    Ventilate the room to prevent any odors from being trapped.
• The refrigerator will be powerfully cooled (this is the same for summertime).

• Because heat will radiate out of the refrigerator in order to cool its contents, the sides will become hot.
• Because the compressor will enter high-speed operation, the operation sound will grow loud.

  Perform operations with your hands. After you have touched an icon, confirm that the display has changed before touching again.
• The response may vary, depending on the surrounding temperature, humidity, the health condition of the person who operates it, and the operating condition of neighboring electric appliances.

Refrigerator Compartment / Sliding Cases

Use the refrigerator compartment when storing foods that will be consumed soon. Foods such as meat, fish, dairy products, and processed food can be kept fresh longer in the sliding cases at a temperature lower than the refrigerator compartment.

Preventing the Transfer of Odors

It is recommended that foods that have strong odors or easily absorb odor are either wrapped thoroughly or stored in an airtight container.

Kimchi, pot stickers, sardines (seafood), beef, etc. Food that transfers odors easily

Rice, potato salad, etc. Food that may easily absorb odors

The door will automatically close from halfway with the Auto closer

With the door of the refrigerator compartment open at an angle of about 20 degrees or less, the door will close automatically.

The door may stop before closing completely if you swing the door too softly.

If the door stops (ajar), it will not close automatically.

The speed of the closing door may change according to the amount of food stored.

Sliding Cases About -3°C to 3°C

At the time of purchase, the lower case is not set to Supercool Chilling.

When setting Supercool Chilling, use the following settings.

Upper Case (About 0°C to 3°C)

• Processed food such as sausage, ham and dairy products can be preserved.
• Do not store food that is easily frozen.
• The temperature cannot be adjusted.

Lower Case Supercool Chilling can be set with .

• Food will not freeze, even below the freezing point (about -3°C to 0°C)
• The freshness of meat and fish can be prolonged without freezing.

Preserving Meat or Fish Below Freezing

Supercool Chilling

Supercool Chilling stores and preserves meat or fish for a longer time at a temperature lower than the refrigerator compartment or upper case without freezing them.

Once it has been set, Supercool Chilling will be the default setting until it is disabled.

To Set

1. Touch on the operation panel.
2. Touch .
   The text above the icon will light up.
   
3. Touch .
   The settings are finished.

It doesn't matter whether you put food before or after the in settings.

To cancel the setting

*If you disable the setting, the lower case can be used in the same way as the upper case.

Supercool Chilling Is Very Useful

• Tastes good.
  Because the food doesn't freeze, the fresh flavor lasts longer!
• Keep fresh.
  Meat and fish last longer and are fresher than in the refrigerator compartment or upper case!

Tips

• Do not leave food hanging over shelves or pockets.
• Do not place bottles that cannot fit all the way to the bottom of the bottle pocket.
• Do not attach a case that you purchased separately onto the outside of a pocket.
• Do not heat the glass surfaces of the glass shelves or place hot objects on them.
• Do not close the door while food is in front of the upper case or the lower case.
• Fully stow away the cases. Otherwise they may keep a door ajar and reduce the cooling performance, or food may fall and cause damage to a case.
• Do not pile food to the top. Leave a gap so that cold air can flow to the ceiling and between food.

Notice

• Because sliding cases cannot guarantee the quality of foods that easily freeze (such as tofu, konjac, raw eggs, vegetables, etc.), storing such foods is not suitable. Depending on the type and amount of food, as well as its condition at the time it is placed in the refrigerator, food may freeze.
• The temperature of the lower case (when Supercool Chilling is set) may exceed 0°C depending on the time of door opening/closing and the amount of food.

Ice Making Compartment

If water is put into the refrigerator compartment's water tank, ice will be made in the ice making compartment.

Clean the ice maker periodically to ensure that the ice is pure and delicious.

Making Ice

Wash the water tank, water supply pipe, and ice tray before making ice for the first time, or if you have not made ice for more than a week.

1. Remove the water tank from the refrigerator compartment, remove the tank cap by twisting it, and supply water.
   
   Do not pour water above the full position ()
   
   Water will easily spill when you carry the tank. Further, it may cause the ice to join together or form a protrusion.
   *WARNING-Fill with potable water only.
2. Close the water tank cap and return the water tank to its original position.
   
   Push in the water tank until it touches the rear side.
   Setting the water tank incorrectly may prevent ice from forming.
   Tilting the tank will cause the water to spill.

Tips

• Do not place food inside when making ice.
• Stop the ice making and then place the food below the reference line on the side. (Not doing so may result in a half-shut door or malfunction and damage)
• Do not pour anything other than cold water into the water tank, such as warm water, juice, tea, soft drinks, or other liquids (the tank can resist heat up to 60°C).
  Pouring anything other than cold water into the tank may cause damage.
• Do not pour water directly into the ice tray to make ice. Unfrozen water in the ice tray may fall into the ice storage box, and the ice may not form cubes.
• The level of the ice storage is checked automatically by the sensor lever, and ice making is stopped when the ice reaches a certain level (about 70 to 140 ice cubes). To detect the ice storage level correctly, make sure that the ice is flat and that the ice server is kept in its storage position in the front of the ice storage box as shown in the left diagram.
• Open and shut the door of the ice making compartment slowly. There is a risk of the ice spilling.

Quick Ice Making

Rapid Ice (Quick Ice Making)

The ice making time for a single batch can be shortened.

1. Touch on the operation panel.
2. Repeatedly touch to display
3. Repeatedly touch to light up .
   The display changes each time the button is touched.
   
   The settings are finished.

• To cancel Rapid Ice, select or .
• In the following cases, quick ice making is stopped automatically, and regular ice making will begin.
  • When about 10 hours have passed since the quick ice making is set.
  • When the ice storage box is full (about 70 to 140 ice cubes)
  • When there is no water in the water tank
• The sound of the refrigerator running gets louder during Rapid Ice, because it is operating at high speed.
  Also, the ice may split or crack because it freezes in a short time.

How much time does it take to make Ice?

Ice making time will differ according to ice making compartment settings. Regular ice making is set at the time of purchase.

To switch between , , and .

• In addition to the surrounding temperature, water type, and water volume and temperature in the water tank, ice making times may vary with the following conditions, and be longer than those in the table.
  • In winter or at other times when the surrounding temperature is low
  • When the door is often opened and closed
  • When the freezer compartment is set to "L"
  • When Energy Saving Mode is set
  • When the ice tray is pulled out and reinserted during ice making
• When is displayed, ice cannot be made. Cancel the setting.

About the Ice

• About 10 to 12 ice cubes can be made each time. The ice cube size and the number of ice cubes in one batch depend on various factors, such as the amount of water in the water tank. When few ice cubes are being made, pour water into the water tank.
• When ice is made using water with a high mineral content, such as mineral water, white deposits (white crystals) may form in the ice. This is the crystallized mineral content and is not harmful.
• If the ice is stored inside the ice storage box for a long time, ice cubes may join together or shrink (due to a phenomenon called sublimation).

Caution: Be careful when breaking apart ice stuck in the ice storage box. There is a risk of injury.

Versa Compartment

The versa compartment can be switched between “Soft-Freezing” and “Freezer.” Placing food in the versa compartment and using “S-COOL FREEZE” or “HOT FREEZE” mode allows food to be frozen without losing its taste and texture.
Soft-Freezing / Supercool Freezing

What can the versa compartment do?

The temperature in the versa compartment can be adjusted by switching between Soft-Freezing and Freezing. With Soft-Freezing, to freeze food, use . For freshly cooked rice or other warm food, use .

Tips

• With “Supercool Freezing” and “Hot Freezing” (both referred to as “Supercool Freezing”)...
  • At times such as storing new food, please set or again, and reduce the opening and closing of the doors as much as possible.
  • If you want to store food frozen with Supercool Freezing for a long time, move it to the freezer compartment quickly. Because food moved to the freezer compartment will freeze and harden, please thaw out food before using it.
  • Please do not store food that is hotter than 80°C.
• With Soft-Freezing...
  • When you have frozen a food too hard, leave it at room temperature for about 5 to 15 minutes. It will become easy to cut.
  • Adjust the temperature according to how the food is frozen.
  • If the temperature setting of food is switched from freezing to Soft-Freezing, the food should be consumed as soon as possible (within 1 to 2 weeks).
  • Even if fruit is thawed, it does not return to its original condition. Eat frozen fruit without thawing it.
  • If fruit is stored for more than a week with Soft-Freezing, its taste may change. We recommend eating within 2 to 3 days.

Notice

• Supercool Freezing cannot be performed during Power Save Mode.
• When performing operations with or in 2, if a continuous beeping sound occurs and the setting cannot be performed, the temperature setting is set to “Freezing.”
  It can be set when Soft-Freezing.
• You can use Supercool Freezing even when other foods are still inside.
• Even after Supercool Freezing has finished, the food may not be completely frozen. (When the temperature is set to Supercool Freezing or Soft-Freezing, because food is frozen at about -7°C, it may take about 24 hours for the food to freeze completely.)
• The degree of freezing or freezer burn may vary depending on the food type, cooking method, storage arrangement (stacking, storage location), the amount of food, and the storage time.
• Depending on how much sugar, salt, moisture, or fat the food contains, freezing may not be possible or the food may harden when frozen (cannot be cut immediately with a kitchen knife).
• Use for food that is warmer than body temperature.

Freeze foods with their original flavors. The frozen foods do not have to be thawed before being consumed.

Food can be frozen, while preserving its taste and texture.

Supercool Freezing

Significantly reduces dripping during thawing and the loss of nutrients, preserving flavor

Cut steak meat and blocks of meat into 100 to 200 grams and use "Supercool Freezing" prevent dripping and preserve the taste and nutrients of food through Supercool Freezing.

Hot Freezing

Things unsuitable for freezing such as potatoes and bamboo shoots can be frozen

Use "Hot Freezing" to keep potatoes in curry fresh. Just thaw the curry out for that fresh-cooked potato texture. There is none of the bother to remove potatoes before freezing them.

Hot Freezing

Freshly cooked rice can also be frozen while hot

Use "Hot Freezing" to preserve the flavor of freshly cooked rice. Thaw it to enjoy its glutinous texture.

Since food can be easily cut even when frozen, it can be cooked without thawing.

Meat

Ground meat / Blocks of meat

It can be cut with a kitchen knife easily without thawing. Because it can be cut while frozen, whatever you will not use can be returned to the versa compartment. Food can be used without being wasteful.

Thinly sliced meat / Bacon

You can easily separate them one by one and slice them finely without thawing. They will thaw while basting.

Fish

Cutlets

You can easily separate them.
No need for dividing them by the amount per serving before freezing. Purchased packs can be frozen as it is. Bake them at low heat without thawing and there is no trouble.

Sauces

Meat sauce

If there is sauce left over, place it in a storage container and use "Hot Freezing" Scoop out only the necessary amount and dress the pasta with it to easily make a meat sauce pasta.

Freezer Compartment and Versa Compartment: Using them properly

Make a large batch of simmered foods that are delicious when cooked in a large batch, then use "Hot Freezing" on the excess amount. Move the supercool frozen food to the freezer compartment to preserve for a long period of time. This can also save the time and labor of cooking every day.

* Meat and fish can be preserved in a freezer compartment for about 1 month, but the preservation period will differ according to the freshness of food before storing it.

This is recommended for when you would like to consume food without thawing.
Food that has been moved to the versa compartment (set to Soft-Freezing) can be cut to just the portions necessary, so food is not wasted.
Although this differs depending on the size of the food, most food can be cut in about 2 to 5 hours.

* Use food within a short period of time (about 1 to 2 weeks).

Freezer Compartment

Store frozen food and ice cream. Store bread, meat, and fish through freezing.

Tips

• Do not place tall objects in the freezer case (lower).
  Food or the freezer case (upper) may become damaged or the door may not close, causing the accumulation of frost or lowering the cooling performance.
• Do not put in plastic drink bottles other than those meant for freezing.
  The frozen contents may break the bottle.

Vegetable Compartment

Place vegetables, fruits, and beverages in this compartment. It preserves food, maintaining the moisture that would normally go away over time.

Storing fruits and vegetables in plastic wrap keeps them even fresher.
The clean tray is provided for easy cleaning of the vegetable compartment

About the clean tray

When vegetable scraps accumulate on the clean tray or the tray becomes dirty, you can remove the tray from the refrigerator and clean it.
The clean tray is treated with a coating, which makes it easy to wipe and clean even when it is stained.
(Before you clean it, remove foodstuff from the tray.)

When the clean tray is stained

• The coating may peel off in the event of following.
  • If the clean tray comes into contact with a bottle, can, or solid foodstuff or when the surface of the tray is rubbed with force.
  • If the clean tray is soaked in water for a while to clean it or if the tray is wiped with alcohol.

Tips

• Do not pile food higher than the height of the vegetable case (lower) or vegetable case (upper).
  Food or the vegetable case (upper) may become damaged or the door may not close, causing the accumulation of condensation or lowering the cooling performance.
• Because the vegetable compartment has a high humidity depending on the amount or types of vegetables, frost or condensation may form on the roof of the vegetable compartment or the surface of the cases. When condensation forms, wipe it off with a dry cloth.

Cleaning

To prevent the growth of limescale and mold, clean periodically. Do not use a dishwashing machine, because it may deform the parts. Do not use the following for cleaning .

• Items such as sponges or scrubbers that may damage surfaces
• Cleaners such as alkaline detergents, scouring powder, boiling water, petroleum, or acid

If the problem persists, contact the retail store where you purchased the refrigerator as soon as possible.

Frequently asked questions in the initial period and in summer

The refrigerator does not cool at all!

• The refrigerator takes time to cool when you first start using it. In summer, it may take up to 24 hours for the inside to be fully cooled.
• If is shown on the operation panel, cancel demonstration mode.
• Check if the power plug is disconnected or the circuit breaker has tripped.

The outer walls heat up!

• The outer walls heat up significantly (to about 50 to 60°C) immediately after installation and in summer. This is because the heat discharging and condensation prevention pipes are located on the sides and the top of the refrigerator. They are required for cooling and the heat is not an abnormality.
• The refrigerator compartment rotating partition also has a condensation prevention heater that heats up.
• A heat discharging fan is located under the refrigerator.
  A heat discharging fan is located under the refrigerator.

Ice is small or joined together	Has ice been stored inside the ice storage box for a long time?	Ice stored inside the ice storage box for a long time may shrink or join together (due to a phenomenon called sublimation). When not using ice, it is recommended that you remove the water and stop the ice making.
	Does it occur when the water in the water tank is decreasing?	As the water in the water tank decreases, the amount of supply water is slightly reduced.
Sound
There is a rattling sound	Are any nearby objects in contact with the refrigerator?	Leave space around the refrigerator. When objects or walls are in contact with the refrigerator, sounds may be heard.
	Make sure that the water tank and water supply pipe are properly installed.	Push in the water tank until it touches the rear side. If it is out of position, the sound of the water supply pipe can grow loud. If there are any gaps or looseness, the water may freeze, causing sounds to be heard.
Loud noises Worrisome noises (Noises described on the right are normal)	The noise gets louder suddenly or the tone changes.	Immediately after beginning use, when the weather is hot, when the doors are frequently opened and closed, and in similar situations, the refrigerator switches to high-speed operation and cools with high power.
	A whistling sound is made after closing a door.	This is the sound of the cooling fan motor starting.
	A whipping or dripping sound is sometimes heard from inside the refrigerator after a door is opened.	This is the creaking sound as warm air enters and expands the plastic.
	Sometimes the sound of flowing or boiling water can be heard.	This is the sound of the refrigerant (gas) flowing.
	A rattling or squeaking sound is made sometimes (every 1 to 2 hours).	This is the sound of the automatic ice maker. Even when there is no water in the water tank, the automatic ice maker and pump make a sound about every 100 minutes.
	After turning on the power, a thumping or creaking sound may be heard in the ice making “ICE STOP” mode (every 1 to 2 hours).	This is the sound of the operation check. The check is performed even in the “ICE STOP” ice making mode.
Doors do not close Doors open easily	Is a door making contact with food or a case? Is too much food packed inside?	Store food so that the door does not make contact with the food when closed. In the refrigerator compartment, store food on the shelves and in the drawer doors store food so that it does not make contact with the ceiling when doors are shut and opened. Do not attach a case that you purchased separately onto the outside of a pocket.
	Has food fallen behind a case in a drawer door, or is the power cord or another object trapped between the refrigerator and a door?	Remove any objects. Make sure that the door does not trap objects such as food, power cords or plastic bags.
	Is the refrigerator installed stably? Are the adjustable supports making contact with the floor?	Lower the adjustable supports to raise the front side slightly and make the doors easier to close.

There are no longer 3 ★ marks lighted on the power saving monitor.	Has the temperature setting been modified?	Setting each compartment to "H" will lower the power saving level.
	Is there any increase in the time the door is left open or the amount of food, or a rise in the compartment temperature?	More energy is used in cooling, resulting in a lowered power saving level.
Condensation/ Frost
Condensation forms on the outer walls and inside the refrigerator Frost forms in the freezer compartment Water drips onto the floor	Are the doors being opened frequently, or are there any gaps?	Close the doors so that there are no gaps. When moisture in the air cools, it forms frost or condensation. When there is high humidity, condensation or frost will form even in very small gaps. Regarding the Vegetable Compartment
	Is the humidity high, for example is it raining?	Condensation may form temporarily. Wipe off with a dry cloth. Condensation may cause frost to form in the freezer compartment. Please minimize the time when doors are kept open.
Others
There are lines like scratches on the clear parts	Is it a thin line without level difference on its both sides?	This is a mark created at the time the plastic is molded. It is created at the joint where resin flows. This is not a flaw.
There are holes in the door and the refrigerator walls	Are there small holes in the door or in the refrigerator walls?	These are holes that let air escape for the injection of foam heat insulating materials in the manufacturing process. These are not flaws or abnormalities.
The surface of the sides or doors is warped	Does the light reflected on the surface appear distorted?	Warping and surface waviness occurs in the manufacturing process. When light hits the surface, it may appear warped, but this is not an abnormality.
