“H”.

Soft-Freezing is set at the time of purchase.
Food does not quickly freeze
With Soft-Freezing, food freezes at about -7°C,
so it may take up to about 24 hours for food to
completely freeze.
Supercool Freezing takes time (about 8 to 9 hours)
to uniformly freeze food from the core.
Soft-Freezing freezes food
Food appears to freeze just as when it freezes in the
freezer.
The outer walls heat up significantly
(to about 50 to 60°C) immediately
after installation and in summer. This
is because the heat discharging and
condensation prevention pipes are
located on the sides and the top of the
refrigerator. They are required for cooling
and the heat is not an abnormality.
The refrigerator compartment rotating
partition also has a condensation
prevention heater that heats up.
A heat discharging fan is located under the refrigerator.
Warm air may be discharged from here.

Is the temperature on the operation
panel set to “H”?
Set the temperature to “M”. Also, the temperature with each
setting may temporarily decrease.

Is food with a lot of moisture stored at
the rear of the shelf?
Place drinks and food containing a lot of water, such as
tofu, vegetables and fruits, at the front of the shelf or in
a door pocket. Low-fat and low-sugar foods are likely to
freeze easily when they are stored at the rear of the shelf.

Is the surrounding temperature 5°C or
less?
Food in the refrigerator compartment or vegetable compartment
may freeze. Freezing is less likely when the temperature
settings are set to “L”.

Is the water supply pipe installed
correctly without any gaps or
looseness?
If there are foreign objects loosening the pipe or if there
is a gap, strong cold air can flow into the refrigerator
compartment. Make sure that it is securely set.
