wipe dry with a soft cloth. You can remove the drawers and shelves for
a more thorough cleaning. Just make sure to dry them before putting
them back into place.
Wipe the digital panel and display panel with a clean, soft cloth.
(Especially top part of the digital panel.) Spray water onto the cleaning
cloth instead of spraying directly on the surface of the refrigerator. This
helps ensure an even distribution of moisture to the surface. 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, the exterior should be polished
once or twice a year.
WARNING

refrigerator will not operate efficiently. Keep the door seals free of grit or
grime by cleaning the doors with a mild detergent and damp cloth.
Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Try setting it to a warmer temperatur e.
Is the temperatur e in the room very low?
Did you stor e the food with high water content in the coldest part of the fridge?
Some heat is normal as anti-condensates are installed in the front cor ners of
the refrigerator to prevent condensation.
Is the r efrigerator door ajar? Condensation can occur when you leave the door
open for a long time.
Did you wait for 12 hours after installation of the water supply line before
making ice?
Is the water line connected and the shut-o valve open?
Did you manually stop the ice making function? Make sure Ice T ype is set to
Cubed or Crushed.
Is ther e any ice blocked within the ice maker bucket?
Is the freezer temperature too warm? Try setting the freezer temperature lower.
If the refrigerators water supply line is not connected and water is not being supplied
