The refrigerator  case is hot.

■

Explain the principles of radiator.
• The radiator pipes are installed in the refrigerator case and partition plate

between the refrigerator and the freezer compartment in order to prevent
condensation formation.  Particularly in summer or after installation of
refrigerator, it may feel hot but it is normal.  If there is no enough space to
dissipate heat, it can be hotter due to lack of heat radiation. Please install a
refrigerator in a well-ventilated place and leave a clearance between refrigerator
and wall: 

Small holes in a door liner

■

Explain that the hole is for releasing gas.
• A small hole in the door liner is for releasing gas during  insulation materials

lining work.  With a releasing hole, forming can be easily done .

Electric bills are too much.

■

Check the use conditions.
• Too frequent door opening and hot food storing cause the compressor to

operate continuously and hence increase the electric consumption and bills.

Explain how to store foods

wrapped. Be sure to store wet foods in the air tight container or in the wrap.

When is the power  connected?

■

When should the power be connected ?
• You can connect the power right after the installation.  But if the refrigerator was

laid flat during transportation for a long period of time and the refrigerant and
compressor oils are mixed up, then this will affect badly the performance of a
refrigerator. Be sure to connect the power 2~3 hours after refrigerator is
installed.

Door does not open properly.

■

Refrigerator compartment door does not open properly.

• When the door is open, warm open air comes into the compartment and is 

mixed up with cool air. This mixed air shall be compressed and increase the
internal pressure when door is closed. This causes the door sticked closely to
the refrigerator in a moment. (If the refrigerator is used for a long time, it will
then open smoothly.)

■

When the refrigerator compartment door is open and close, the freezer
compartment door moves up and down.
• When the refrigerator compartment door is open and close, fresh air comes into

the freezer compartment and moves up and down the freezer compartment
door.

■

Door opens too easily.
• There is a magnet in the gasket rubber so that it is ok. if door is securely closed

without a gap.   It can be open easily if the foods in the refrigerator or freezer
compartments hold the door open. 

■

A door does not close properly. 
• If the rear side of the refrigerator is raised higher than front side, door shall not

be easily closed. Adjust the level of refrigerator with levelling screws.

The front side should

be raised a little bit higher

than the rear side.
