● 購買後初次使用時。
初次使用時,庫內冷卻可能需要約4小時至24小時以上。
● 請遵守可容納食物的高度及食品之間空開間隙儲放。
過分塞堵食物,會造成食品及袋子被門夾住關不緊,製冷效率低、不能製冰等。
● It takes time to cool for the first time.
It may take more than 4 ~ 24 hours to fully cool.
● Make sure that no food protrudes beyond the storage height limit of
each compartment, and allow clearance between each food in each
compartment.
Otherwise, food and/or package may not be stored in each compartment properly, and as
a result, the door may not be closed completely. It may cause the refrigerator not to cool
sufficiently and/or not to make ice.

Plentiful innovative functions to store more items
Spacious storage capacity
Structure design is improved by expanding / enlarging shelves, pockets and slide cases as much as possible as well as by using vacuum insulating material to thin
the wall and others to maximize internal volumetric capacity for foods. Storing a pan with foodstuffs in, storing the whole large ingredients, bulk buying on weekends
and others due to plentiful storage capacity may help your daily life change.
A combination of 3 types of deodorizing materials leads to deodorize various odorous substances in the refrigerator including 4 major odors
such as sulfur, nitrogen, aldehyde and oxygen odors. Activities of bacteria collected by the filter are also restricted.
Deodorant filter has the effect of sterile filtration.
● Testing laboratory: Boken Quality Evaluation Institute, a general incorporate foundation ● Test method: Film contacting method (JIS Z 2801) ● Name of the part used for
treatment: Filter ● Sterilization method: applying oxidation catalyst to the filter ● Target: bacteria collected by the filter ● Test result: sterilization effect of 99 % after 24
hours by using a filter only. This has not always effect on the entire refrigerator or foods.

● The floor should be sturdy and flat.
Lay a board with 1cm thickness on the floor if the refrigerator is installed on the carpet, tatami mat, flooring or PVC sheet flooring which
may be hollow or discolor.
● Place the refrigerator away from direct sunlight and heat.
● Do not place it in damp areas, and ensure good air ventilation.
This will reduce adverse effects to refrigerating power and keep electricity cost down. This will also
prevent the refrigerator from discoloring and rusting.
● The place separated from other equipment.
To prevent disturbance (noise / scattered image) to TV and others attributable to the refrigerator.
● To cool efficiently, allow enough space around the refrigerator for radiating heat.
●
The actual size of the center part of the side of the refrigerator’s main body is slightly larger than the
nominal size. Therefore, please allow enough space around when installing the refrigerator.
●
The back of the refrigerator can be placed very close to the wall. If any vibration sound occurs and/
or any discolor/dirt is found on the wall, move the refrigerator away from the wall.

It may take more than 4 hours to make ice in winter.No trouble
Immediately after changing from “Off” to “Normal”, it may take longer
than usual to make ice.

Small ice may be made if only a small amount of water remains in the
water supply container.
If the frame is not set in place properly, ice cubes may stick each other.
If the ice tray is damaged, ice may not be easily separated from the ice

The door may be opened/closed frequently or door may remain open for

Frost or condensation may be formed when the warm air contacts with

Frost or condensation is formed on the wall or any part of the freezer
compartment due to the moisture in the air when the door is opened or closed.
Dew may adhere to those parts when the indoor humidity is high (ex:
rainy day).
When the dew-proof heater is set to low, high humidity may cause

Is it placed in front of the Cold Air Blowout Port?Do not place any food in front of the cold air blowout port.
The installation site may not be level.
Does the soft floor material sink in around the legs due to the weight of
stored items?
It is because the air that entered the Refrigerator Compartment is rapidly

When it is set to “Quick Freeze”/“Quick Cool”/“Quick”, operation sound
of the compressor or the fan motor gets louder because of high-speed
