When installing your unit

About the electrical outlet and electrical plug

Do not push the electrical plug with the back of the refrigerator. Do not damage the electrical cord.

If the plug is pressed by the refrigerator, or if the cord is bent, bundled, or a heavy object is placed on it, it can cause an electric shock or a fire.

Using them can result in an electric shock or injury.

Do not use damaged cords or plugs or loose outlets.

Do not remove the electrical plug by pulling the cord.

The cord can become damaged and can cause an electric shock or a fire.

Do not plug or unplug the electrical plug with wet hands.

It can cause an electric shock.

Using an extension cord or plugging in too many power cords into the outlet can cause heat buildup or a fire.

➡ Page 4

Use a dedicated outlet for the power supply that meets the rating specified on the rating label. (The rating label is located on the door-liner of the refrigerator compartment.)

If it is plugged with the cord facing upward, extra pressure gets exerted on it which can cause it to heat up or ignite.

Keep the electrical plug cord facing downwards and insert the plug in fully.

If the power cord is damaged call Mitsubishi Electric Service Centre for a technician to replace power cord. The power cord should be designed for this model.

If the power cord is damaged.

WARNING

When replacing the interior refrigerator light or when taking care of the unit, pull out the electrical plug.

Not doing so can result in an electric shock or injury.

For your safety, please be sure to follow these instructions

About using your refrigerator

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit (piping) of the refrigerator; do not drive in screws.

Because a flammable refrigerant (gas) is used, there is the danger of igniting or explosion.

Do not use electrical products inside the refrigerator unit.

If the refrigerant (gas) is leaking inside the unit, there is a risk that a spark from the electrical product’s contact can be a source for ignition or explosion.

Do not store volatile products that can easily ignite.

Benzine, cosmetics and hair styling products can be the cause for igniting fires and explosion.

Do not store pharmaceuticals or scientific test material.

Anything that needs strict supervision must not be stored in a home-use refrigerator.

Do not place items on top of the refrigerator.

Items may drop from opening and closing the door and can cause injury.

Do not hang on the door or door handle, and do not get on compartment drawer-type doors.

The refrigerator can topple over causing injury.

Do not use excessive force on glass shelf and glass door.

The glass may break and it may cause injury.

Do not put your hands in the mechanical part of the automatic ice-maker (the upper part of the ice storage box).

Doing so will cause injury.

Do not use flammable sprays nearby.

A spark from the electrical contact can ignite and cause a fire.

About using your refrigerator

About Malfunctions / Long Term Care

Do not take apart, repair or convert. Do not continue to use with damaged parts.

This can cause injury, an electric shock or a fire.

If the refrigerant circuit (piping) is damaged, do not touch the refrigerator, open the window and ventilate the room.

If you will not be using the refrigerator for a long period of time, after pulling out the electrical plug, open the door and let the interior dry out.

If it is not dried adequately, the cooling unit may corrode causing the refrigerant (gas) to leak which can then cause the danger of ignition or explosion.

If it continues to run in an abnormal state, it can cause an electrical shock or a fire.

If something abnormal occurs (such as a burning smell), pull out the electrical plug and stop the refrigerator from running.

It is dangerous if the child gets shut inside.

If there is a possible danger of a child getting trapped inside while the refrigerator is not in use, please pull off the door seal.

Where to install your fridge

●

Install in a place where there is no direct sunlight or heat, and with good ventilation.

This protects against a decrease in cooling power and saves on electricity bills.

●Install in a place with low humidity.

This prevents rust, electric shock or fires from occurring.

●Install on a solid and level floor.

This prevents vibrations, noise, and partially open doors or doors left ajar.

Prevent changes or discoloring by its mass or heat.

※If the refrigerator adjustment feet sink easily

into the flooring material, please lay a strong board on top of the flooring.

●Install away from other appliances.

This prevents noise or image disturbances to the television, etc.

●Leave a space of more than 2 cm to

the left and right, and more than 10 cm from the ceiling, and more than 5 cm from the back.

This is to allow heat to escape from the top, the back and sides.

※If refrigerator is too close to the wall,

it will cause an increase in sound levels. Please care to remove the dust within the gap.

Installation

Do not install in an outdoor area where water can get on it or where there is a lot of moisture.

Due to insulation failure, it may cause an electric shock or fire.

Do not get wet

Allow some space around the refrigerator.

If the refrigerant (gas) leaks, it can remain in the area and there’s a risk that it may cause a fire or explosion.

Always follow instructions

Turning on the power

●

Turn on the power of the refrigerator as soon as possible.

The refrigerator will not be damaged even if you turn on the power immediately after the installation.

Use a dedicated outlet for the power supply that meets the rating specified on the rating label.

To get the refrigerator cooled down faster, plug it in right after installing.

Lower back section

2 cm. or more

10 cm. or more

Earth screw connection

5 cm. or more

Remove the energy label carefully. A glue residue may remain, particularly if the label has been in place for a long period of time. Apply either Eucalyptus or Tea Tree oil directly on any residue. Do not allow the oil to run or drip onto plastic parts as it may cause the plastic to degrade and potentially crack over time. Allow the oil to sit for approximately 1-2 minutes, or until the glue residue has softened. Wipe off with a damp cloth. If any residue remains, repeat the above process. Rinse with clear water. Dry thoroughly.

Adjustment and affixing

●Please fix the tilt by adjusting the legs.

Please adjust the adjustable leg as the following picture to level the refrigerator.

Fix firmly by adjustable legs on a level and strong floor.

The refrigerator may move and cause injury.

If the left side of the door is sagging

If the right side of the door is sagging

Raise the right side Raise the left side

Keep the front at a slightly higher angle. This makes closing the door easier and prevents the door from partially opening.

※After several days from installing, it may sink to the floor by weight.

Please re-adjust the adjustable legs again.

When the tilt cannot be corrected with the adjustable legs.

If installed in a corner of a room, there are times when one side of the back legs sinks into the floor. When that happens, please make adjustments in the rear with caster support (separately sold) or a strong board underneath (normally, the thickness of the board should be 2 – 3 mm.)

For the caster support, please contact the shop where you purchased.

cream after the refrigerator has been adequately cooled down.

tKeep opening and closing of

the door to a minimum, and open in a short time.

tIn the summer, it will take

approx. 24 hours to make the first batch of ice.

●It may smell of plastic.

The smell will gradually disappear. Please ensure room is adequately ventilated to remove odors.

●

When the refrigerator is in cooling mode the following may occur (also occurs during summer).

The side will be hot allowing the outside of the refrigerator to cool.

tOperating noise will be loud

due to the compressor being in high-speed operation.

Because a flammable refrigerant (gas) is used, there is the danger of igniting or explosion.

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit (piping) of the refrigerator; do not drive in screws.

Do not do

Use in hot spring areas

Corrosion control treatment must be applied for the refrigerant circuit (pipe) due to generation of corrosive gases. Contact the retail store where you purchased the refrigerator.

(to prevent half-opened door/noise/move/vibrate)
