Solution
• Make sure that air entry or exit is not
blocked so that the air can circulate
inside.
• Maintain an appropriate space between
items.
• Frosts or condensation can form if
the outside air penetrates inside the
appliance.
• Condensation can appear on the
exterior of the appliance if the
installation area is too humid or on a
humid day such as a rainy day. Wipe
off any moisture with a dry cloth.
• Install the appliance on a solid and flat
area.
• Adjust the installation position to
allow enough clearance around the
appliance.
• Remove the scattered objects from
behind the appliance.
• Remove the object on top of the

• The heat releasing pipe to prevent
condensation is installed on the front
and side of the appliance. You may
feel it particularly hot right after the
appliance is installed or during the
summer. You can be assured that this
is not a problem and is quite normal.
• Check if the water has leaked from a
sink or another place.

frozen food or a broken or dropped
container.
