Water clouding phenomenon

1. All water provided to the refrigerator flows through the core filter which is an alkaline water filter. In the filtering process, the pressure of the water that has flowed out of the filter is increased, and the water becomes saturated with oxygen and nitrogen.
2. When this water flows out into the air, the pressure plummets and the oxygen and nitrogen get supersaturated, which results in gas bubbles
3. The water may temporarily look misty or cloudy due to these oxygen bubbles. After a few seconds, the water will look clear.

Ice Maker Do’s and Don’ts

CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR

Cleaning the Interior

• Clean the inside walls and accessories with a mild detergent and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. You can remove the drawers and shelves for a more thorough cleaning.
• Just make sure to dry drawers and shelves before putting them back into place.

Cleaning the Exterior

• Wipe the control panel and digital display with a damp, clean, soft cloth. Do not spray water directly on the surface of the refrigerator.
• The doors, handles, and cabinet surfaces should be cleaned with a mild detergent and then wiped dry with a soft cloth. To keep your appliance looking its best, polish the exterior once or twice a year.
• Do not spray water directly on the refrigerator. Use a clean, damp cloth to clean.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or Clorox for cleaning. They may damage the surface of the appliance and may cause a fire.
• You can erase the printed letters on the display if you apply stainless cleaner directly to the area where the letters are printed.

Cleaning the Ice / Water Dispenser

1. Wipe the Ice / Water Dispenser with a clean, soft cloth.
2. When using the crushed ice selection from the dispenser some residual ice chips may start to collect in the ice chute. To prevent that residual ice from melting and running out of the chute, you should clean out the residual ice when you see it start to collect in the ice chute.

Cleaning the Rubber door seals

• If the rubber door seals are dirty, the doors may not close properly, and the refrigerator will not operate efficiently. Keep the door seals free of dust or stains by cleaning the doors using a mild detergent and damp cloth. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.
• Do not clean the refrigerator with benzene, thinner, or car detergent. These substances could cause a fire.

Cleaning the rear side of the refrigerator

• Do not remove the back cover ( 1 ).
• You could suffer an electric shock.

FOOD STORAGE TIPS

Troubleshooting

The refrigerator does not work at all or it does not chill sufficiently.

• Check that the power plug is properly connected.
• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is warmer than the freezer or fridge inner temperature. If it is, set the refrigerator colder.
• Is the refrigerator in direct sunlight or located near a heat source?
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?

The food in the fridge is frozen.

• Check if the set temperature on the digital display is too low.
• Try setting the refrigerator to a warmer temperature.
• Is the temperature in the room too low? Set the refrigerator warmer.
• Did you store the food which is juicy in the coldest part of the refrigerator?
• Try moving those items to the other shelves in the fridge instead of keeping them in the colder areas or bins.

You hear unusual noise or sounds.

• Check that the refrigerator is level and stable.
• Is the back of the refrigerator too close to the wall, preventing proper ventilation?
• Try moving the back of the refrigerator at least 2 inches from the wall.
• Was anything dropped behind or under the refrigerator?
• A “ticking” sound is heard from inside the refrigerator. It is normal and occurs because various accessories are contracting or expanding according to the temperature of the refrigerator interior.
• If it sounds as if something is hitting something else inside the refrigerator, this is normal. The sound is caused by the compressor operating at high capacity

The cabinetdoor sealing area of the appliance is hot and condensation is occurring.

• Some heat is normal as anti-condensators are installed in the vertical hinged section of the refrigerator to prevent condensation.

• Is the refrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door open for a long time.

Ice Maker is not producing ice.

• Did you wait for 12 hours after installing the water supply line before making ice?

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?

• Did you manually stop the ice making function?

• Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.

There is a bad smell in the refrigerator.

• Check for spoiled food.

• Foods with strong odors (for example, fish) should be tightly covered.

• Clean out your freezer periodically and throw away any spoiled or suspicious food.

Frost forms on the walls of the freezer.

• Is the air vent blocked? Remove any obstructions so air can circulate freely.

• Allow sufficient space between the stored food for efficient air circulation.

• Is the freezer drawer closed properly?

Water dispenser is not functioning.

• Is the water line connected and the shut-off valve opened?

• Has the water supply line tubing been crushed or kinked?

• Make sure the tubing is free and clear of any obstruction.

• Is the water tank frozen because the fridge temperature is too low? Try selecting a warmer setting on the Digital display.

• Is the Child Lock on?

Auto close system does not work with the freezer door.

• Is there an imbalance between the right and left parts of the door?

• Open and close the door smoothly 1~2 times. After you do this, the auto close system usually works properly again

• Try opening the door smoothly to avoid unbalancing the right part and the left part of the door

Condensation or water drops forms on both sides of fridge door’s central part.

• Condensation or water drops may form if the humidity is too high while the refrigerator is operating.

• If condensation or water drops appears on both sides of fridge door’s central part, turn the Energy Saver mode off after removing the condensation. (See the explanation on Energy Saver button in the USING THE CONTROL PANEL.)
