FAQ
Q. Can I place a microwave oven on top of the refrigerator? ▾
Yes, if the model is specified to have a 'heat-resistant top plate.' Otherwise, please use a dedicated rack to prevent the top from warping due to heat.
Q. What is the difference between fan-type and direct-cool systems? ▾
Fan-type (automatic defrost) circulates cold air, reducing frost buildup and maintenance. Direct-cool is cheaper and more energy-efficient but requires manual defrosting.
Q. What is a good benchmark for noise levels? ▾
Generally, below 30dB is considered quiet. Models in the 20dB range are typically unobtrusive even in studio apartments or bedrooms.
