5-1-3. Load Status Display Function


1) If the Freezer + Fridge buttons are pressed simultaneously for about seven seconds during normal operation mode,
the Panel Display will turn ON/OFF the LEDs of Weak Middle, Middle, and Middle Strong for about four seconds.
2) H
 ere, if you take your fingers off the buttons and press the Fridge button (a "Ding-Dong" sound will be made and), the
mode will be converted into the Load Status Display Function.
3) The Load Status Display function lets you know what the load for the current output of the Micom signal is. However,
it just means that the Micom signal is outputted, and does not confirm whether the load is actually working or not.
That is, even if it displays that the load is working, the load may not be working because of a disorder of the actual
load or a faulty Relay on the PCB. (You need to check.)
4) The Load Status Display Function lasts only for 30 seconds, and the product will automatically return to the normal
status after that.
5) The display of each load status is as follows:

① Press the Freezer + Fridge buttons


simultaneously for six seconds.
② When the Display (Weak Middle, Middle, and
Middle Strong) starts blinking, press the Fridge
button once.

5-1-4. Operation Status Recovery Function in Case of Blackout


1) When the Panel Display is initialized in case of a temporal blackout, a non-sense call by consumers may occur.In order
to prevent this, the product senses the temperature inside the Refrigerator at the point when the power is applied
and initializes or recovers the existing operation status.
2) When the power is initially ON, the product senses the temperature inside the Freezer, Fridge, Freezer Defrosting
Sensor, and of the Fridge Defrosting Sensor. If at least one from among the four temperatures is less than about
+12℃, the product regards this as a temporal blackout during operation, and recovers the functions related to the
Panel Display (Power Freeze, Power Cool, Fridge, Freezer, Door Alarm, Lock function, etc.).
3) When the power is initially ON, the product senses the temperature inside the Freezer, Fridge, Freezer Defrosting
Sensor, and of the Fridge Defrosting Sensor. If all the four temperatures are about +12℃ or higher, the product
regards this as a blackout for a long time, and initializes the Panel Display.(The temperature of the Freezer is -19℃.
The temperature of the Fridge is 3℃. The Door Alarm ON is automatically set.)

5-1-5. Exhibition Mode Setting Function


1) If the Freezer + Fridge buttons are pressed simultaneously for about seven seconds during normal operation mode,
the Panel Display will turn ON/OFF the LEDs of Weak Middle, Middle, and Middle Strong for about four seconds.
2) H
 ere, if you take your fingers off the buttons and press the Freezer button, (a "Ding-Dong" sound will be made and)
the product will be converted into the Exhibition mode.
3) When the Exhibition Mode is set, the Display and all functions will normally work, and only the Compressor won't
start.
4) The Exhibition Mode will be canceled if you press the Exhibition Mode button again or turn OFF the power.
5) D
 uring the Exhibition Mode, when the temperature of the Freezer or the Fridge increases to be 65 ℃ or higher, the
Exhibition Mode will be canceled, and the product will enter the cooling operation condition.

 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.
