Care and Maintenance ENGLISH Before Calling for Service The following occurrences are normal. Occurrence Noise Ticking or clicking sound Solution This is the sound of various parts expanding/contracting or various control devices operating depending on the temperature change within the refrigerator. Whirring or motor sound This is the sound of compressor or fan operating when the operation of the refrigerator is starting or ending. This is similar to the sound generated when starting or turning off the engine of a car. Sound of water flowing This is the sound of refrigerant changing its state from liquid to gas or vice versa. Whooshing sound when opening or closing door This is the sound generated when the internal pressure is temporarily lowered when the warm air entered through the refrigerator or freezer is cooled fast. Vibrating sound If the refrigerator is installed on a wooden floor or next to a wooden wall, or if the refrigerator is not leveled properly, the sound can be loud from the vibration. Loud sound after first installing Door open Door bounces open slightly after being closed When you operate the refrigerator for the first time, the refrigerator will operate at high speed to cool quickly and the sound can seem louder. When the internal temperature falls below a certain level, the noise will subside. Depending on the force or speed of closing the refrigerator or freezer door, the door can be bumped open from the pressure. Be careful not to close the door too hard. Icing/ Dew drops Icing or condensation formed on the inner or outer side of the refrigerator When external air flows into the cool inner surface of the refrigerator, icing/condensation can be formed. This will happen more easily when you open and close the refrigerator door more frequently. Also, if the humidity of the installed location is high or during the rainy season or on a rainy day, condensation can form on the outer side of the refrigerator. This is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the humid weather. Wipe the water drops with a dry cloth. Temperature The front of the refrigerator is warm Heat pipes are installed around the front part of the refrigerator and on the divider of the freezer and refrigerator to prevent the condensation from forming. The refrigerator may feel warmer just after installation or during the hot summer, but this is not a problem. 46
