Install the refrigerator at:
A place with good ventilation
and not exposed to direct
sunlight or hot air
To keep good cooling performance and
reduce power costs.
A place with low humidity
To prevent it from rusting, electric shock
and fi re.
A strong and level place
To prevent vibration, noise, and ajar or
tilting doors.
To prevent deformation or discoloration of
the fl oor materials due to the weight or heat.
If the refrigerator supports may sink into the
fl oor, lay a strong plate or board underneath.
A place away from other
devices
To prevent noise or video interference
with devices such as televisions.
There should be space of 2 cm
or more on the left and right of
the refrigerator, and 10 cm or
more from the ceiling.
To allow heat to dissipate from the top
and the sides of the refrigerator.
Use a dedicated outlet
Use a dedicated outlet for the power supply that meets the rating specifi ed on the rating
label. (The rating label is located on the door-liner of the refrigerator compartment.)
The refrigerator will not be damaged even if the power is
supplied soon after installation.
It takes a while for the refrigerator to cool, therefore supply
power as soon as possible.
Electrical Connections
Make sure this unit is properly grounded.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its dedicated electrical outlet.
This will provide the best performance and prevent electrical circuits
from being overloaded and causing a fi re.
Make sure that the electrical outlet provides the proper voltage.
Extension cords are not recommended.
If your refrigerator is installed in the high humidity location, not only
ground connection but also installation of the earth leakage breaker is
recommended.
If the power cord is damaged, purchase a new cord from MITSUBISHI
ELECTRIC SERVICE CENTER. Make sure that the power cord is
designed for this model.
If the power cord is damaged, call our MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC
SERVICE CENTER for the replacement, in order to avoid a hazard.
Installation

It takes time for cooling even
after turning on the refrigerator.
The outer walls heat up.
The operation noise gets louder
immediately after installation.
Immediately after instillation, when: the
weather is hot, the doors are frequently opened
or closed, the fast cooling operation is engaged,
or any similar situation; the operation noise will
get louder because the refrigerator will switch to
high-speed operation to cool with high power.
Warning
Using outlets that do not meet the specifi ed rating or plugging in too
many leads into a single socket can cause heat buildup or fi re.

Freezing for Delicious Food
(Supercool Freezing)
Note
When performing soft freezing after
freezing, or freezing after soft freezing,
use the food within a short period of time
(about 1 to 2 weeks).
If you want to store the food for a long
time, move it to the freezer compartment
after supercool freezing has fi nished.
Food can be frozen without losing its
taste and texture by supercool freezing.
After supercool freezing finishes, the
food is stored with Soft-Freezing. The
food is easy to cut even when frozen,
saving time for preparing smaller
portions before freezing or thawing
them.
Food that is not normally suitable for freezing (bamboo
shoots, potatoes, etc) and hot food can be frozen to taste.
What is Supercool Freezing?

Potatoes can
also be kept
tasty
You can
slice easily
You can
cut smoothly
Use plastic wrap to cover containers
or wrap rice.
When storing food in sealed
containers, fi ll food tightly until the
container is completely full.
Do not store food that is hotter than 80°C.
Freshly cooked rice
is about 70°C
Avoid using aluminum foil or paper wrapping,
because it interferes with accurate measurement of the
food temperature.
If there is not much food in a container, the food
temperature may be measured inaccurately.
If food is too hot, it may deform nearby containers. Also,
when food is too hot to hold with your bare hands,
be very careful not to burn yourself.
Rice
For leftover rice, divide it by the
amount per serving, wrap them
while still warm and supercool
freeze it. Can be frozen without
losing moisture and taste.
It can be preserved for about 2 weeks with soft freezing.
It thaws well with no unevenness.
Curry
Leftover curry can be put in the
versa compartment while still hot
for supercool freezing.
Sauces
Freshly cooked sauce poured into a storage container
while still hot can be supercool frozen. After hardened,
the sauce can be diced and put into a storage bag,
which takes up less space and lets you take out only the
amount that you need each time.
Potatoes and broccoli
Boiled vegetables to be used
in croquettes or salads
can be cooled down using
supercool freezing.
Blocks of meat
We recommend supercool freezing for blocks of meat of
about 100 to 400 grams. Meat that has been stored in the
freezer or was purchased frozen can be transferred to soft
freezing.
Depending on the size of
the food, it can be cut in
about 2 to 5 hours after having
been transferred from freezing.
Thinly sliced meat or bacon
They will thaw while basting and
you can easily separate them.
If they cannot be separated
immediately after taken out of the
compartment, wait for a while and
try again.
Ground meat
You can cut out only the necessary
amount with a kitchen knife.
If you cut the meat into cubes and
leave them in room temperature for
about 15 to 30 minutes, they will
have thawed enough to be kneaded by
hand.
Cutlets and cod roe
Cutlets can be cooked on a low fl ame without thawing
them fi rst.
Food with a high salt content, such
as cod roe, does not freeze and so
can be used immediately.

Food not suitable for Supercool Freezing
Note
Even after supercool freezing has fi nished
and
turns off, the food may not be
completely frozen.
(With supercool freezing and soft freezing,
food is frozen at about -7°C, so it takes about
24 hours for the food to freeze completely.)
Note
When fruit is thawed it does not return to its original
condition. Eat frozen fruit without thawing it.
The freezing time varies depending on the sugar content.
Leave for one night after supercool freezing.
If fruit is stored for more than one week with soft freezing,
its taste may change. To enjoy the fresh texture, we
recommend eating within 2 to 3 days.
When adding foods to be stored, refrain from opening the
doors often.
Supercool freezing may not be possible or the degree of
freezing or freezer burn may vary if the food type, cooking
method, storage arrangement (stacking, storage location), the
amount of food, and the period of storage change.
Depending on the amount of sugar, salt or fat contained in
foods, freezing may not be possible or the food may harden
when frozen (cannot be cut immediately with a kitchen knife).
If the food has frozen too hard, leave it for about 5 to 15
minutes at room temperature and you should be able to cut it
with a kitchen knife.
Set the temperature according to how the food is frozen.

Ice tray precautions
The ice cube size and the number of ice cubes
in one batch depends on various factors, such
as the amount of water in the water tank.
About 10 to 12 ice cubes can be made each time.
If the ice is stored in the ice
storage box for a long time, the
ice cubes may join together or
shrink (due to a phenomenon
called sublimation).
If you try to crush ice that has joined together,
be careful not to injure your hands.
In the following cases, quick ice making is stopped
automatically.
•
When the ice storage box is full (about 80 to 140 ice cubes)
• When there is no water in the water tank
•
When about 10 hours have passed in quick ice making mode
(The display changes from to
)
The sound of the refrigerator running gets louder during quick
ice making, because the refrigerator is operating at high speed.
It may take more than 24 hours to make ice immediately after
installation, even in quick ice making mode.
When quick ice making is performed, the ice may split or crack
because the freezing is performed quickly.
About the ice About quick ice making
The
display lights up when the ice tray or ice tray lock lever is not installed correctly. (How to install ice tray:
