4-1. Precaution
• D
o not dissemble or repair the refrigerator by yourself.
- You run risk of causing a fire, malfunction and/or personal injury.
• R
emove any foreign matter or dust from the power plug pins.
- Otherwise there is a risk of fire.
• Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.
• D
o not plug several appliances into the same multiple power board. The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical which has a voltage rating that matched the rating plate.
- This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard
from overheated wires.
• D
o not install the refrigerator in a damp place or place where it may come in contact with water.
- Deteriorated insulation of electrical parts may cause an electric shock or fire.
• D
o not put bottles or glass containers in the freezer.
- When the contents freeze, the glass may break and cause personal injury.
• D
o not store volatile or flammable substances in the refrigerator.
- The storage of benzene, thinner, alcohol, ether, LP gas and other such products may cause explosions.

choice of "Coldest" and "Dead zone" exceed 5 seconds.3 time Count is initialized.
2. If you press the Test button in the normal operation status, the test function will
change in the following order: Forced Operation 1, Forced Operation 2 (R-Valve/
Fan OFF), Forced Operation 3 (F-Valve/Fan OFF), Forced R Defrosting, Forced F/R
Defrosting, Cancellation (normal operation), and Forced Operation 1.
3. If you press the Test button once in the normal mode, the product will enter the
Forced Operation 1 function.
3-1) Here, the Buzzer will perform alarm with a beep sound.
3-2) When forced operation is selected, the Comp. will immediately work without
the 15- minute delay in any operation mode.
Here, if the product is defrosting, the defrosting will be immediately stopped,
and forced operation will be performed.
(If forced operation is performed immediately when the Comp. is OFF,
overload may occur, so be careful.)
3-3) When forced operation is selected, the Comp. and the F-Fan continues
to operate for 24 hours, and the R Compartment will work by the set

hen the Display Panel converts to the Option Setting mode, the Display will be changed to the Option # Select Mode
or the Option Set
1) For example, if you want to shift the standard temp of the Fridge compartment by -2℃, follow the steps below. This
function is to change the default temperature and when the default temperature of the Fridge compartment is 2℃ and
the default setting is lowered by -2℃ with the Option function, the default temperature will be controlled at 0℃. That is,
when changing temperature options, the Fridge compartment will operate at 0℃ internally even if it shows 2℃ on the
display panel. Therefore, the temperature will be controlled by -2℃ lower than the set temperature on the display panel.
Note
Basically, when units being shipped out, all the data in the Option function are cleared. That is, the Default settings are “0”.
However, for the purpose of quality improvement during mass production, the Default values may change. Therefore, be sure to
check quality information, such as SVC bulletins.
2) After changing into the Option mode, “0"s on both of the Fridge and Freezer compartments lights up on the display
panel. (when units being shipped out, the unit will be shipped out with "0" set on the Fridge compartments. However,
for the purpose of quality improvement during mass production, the Default values may change.)
3) Press the Power Cool button. And, when the LED LAMP ( LED On) for the Option #1 and the 7℃ LEDs are on (Setting
the Option #), press the Fridge Button and select the LED LAMP which equals to the Set-Value #4 ( OFF, "3℃" LED
ON). Then, its default temperature drops by -2℃.
: In 20 seconds after completing the adjustment, MICOM is to store the setting value in EEPROM and it goes back to the
normal display mode, deactivating the Option Setting mode.
4) The Fridge temperature can be adjusted with the same method.
5) Make sure not to change the factory-set default values excluding exceptional circumstances. Also, the Option Setting
will be completed when it goes back to the normal display mode in 20 seconds. So, do not turn off the unit before it
goes back to the normal display mode.
