             2. The product may get hotter as condensing is more difficult when temperature rises in summer.

       

How to fix  How to fix

 

            1.  When the product is used for the first time or in summer, compressor runs longer to make cool air and generates much heat.   It is a normal

                phenomenon and not a defect of a product. In summer, the product may repeatedly gets hot  and cool due to low heat radiation.  
 
           2.  Install the refrigerator when air circulates well and keep distance of 5 centimeters from back and both sides of the wall.

 

                                   ※ As a vehicle motor appears to be hotter in summer, refrigerator can also be found hot when temperature rises in summer.
Keep distance between the product and walls during summer and cleaning dust from the back of the product also helps to cool - When it is too hot, place a fan behind the refrigerator to face the bottom.
