Demonstration operation:
Is the power plug disconnected or has the circuit breaker
tripped?
If 30 seconds pass without any
operation panel button operations,
displays turn off.
Do you clean the water tank and the
water supply pump once a week?
Have you placed food with strong
odour inside the refrigerator without
sealing in a container?
The outer walls heat up signifi cantly (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.
Warm air may be discharged from here.
First, check the items described in this section. If the problem persists, contact the retail store where
you purchased the refrigerator as soon as possible.
