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

at least 10 cm
A gap of
At least 5 cm
at least 2 cm
Installation
A place with good ventilation not
exposed to direct sunlight or hot air
To prevent a drop in cooling performance
and to reduce power costs.
A place with low humidity
To prevent rusting, electric shock and fi re.
A strong and level place
To prevent vibration and noise, and ajar
or tilting doors.
If the refrigerator supports sink easily into
the fl oor material, lay a strong plate or
board underneath.
(To prevent deformation or discoloration
due to the weight or heat.)
A place away from other devices
To prevent noise or video interference
with devices such as televisions.
A place with at least 2 cm of
space on the left and right of
the refrigerator, and 10 cm of
space from the top.
To allow heat to dissipate from the top
and the sides of the refrigerator.
Warning
Do not obstruct the refrigerator vents
or the space around the refrigerator.
If refrigerant leaks, it may accumulate
and catch fi re or explode.
Dedicated
outlet that meets
the specifi ed rating.
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.

Connect the power supply
* Connect power supply soon after installing 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.)
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.
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
SERVICE CENTER. Make sure that the power cord is designed for this
model.
If the power cord is damaged, call our MITSUBISHI
for the replacement, in order to avoid a hazard.

The outside of the refrigerator and the
rotating partition get hot.
Heat dissipation causes
the temperature to rise to
about 50°C to 60°C when
operation is fi rst started,
and during the summer. The
rotating partition may get hot
when heated by the heater.

Cooling takes time after turning
on the refrigerator.
• Wait until the refrigerator has fully cooled before storing
non-cooled food or ice cream.
• Do not open the doors more than necessary, and close
them as soon as possible.

Preventing ajar doors
Adjust the supports to

If the front of the
refrigerator is slightly
raised, the doors are
easier to close.
If the door is still tilted after adjustment of the supports
When installing the refrigerator in
the corner of a room, one of the
rear supports may sink, causing the
refrigerator to tilt. If this happens, use
a caster support (sold separately) or
strong board for adjustment. (Normally,
use a board with a thickness of about 2
to 3 mm.)
Adjusting a tilted door or unevenness
Readjust the adjustable supports as
shown in the fi gures below.

Do not damage or drive screws into
the refrigerant circuit (pipes).
Although fl ammable refrigerant is used, the refrigerant circuit
is hermetically sealed and normally leaks will not occur.
Warning
Should the refrigerant circuit be damaged:
1. Do not use fl ames or electrical appliances nearby.
2. Open the windows to fully ventilate the room.
Then, contact the retail store where you purchased the refrigerator.
TroubleshootingBefore Use Operation Cleaning
Prepare for earthquakes.
Pass 2 strong belts through the hand-holds on the top rear of the
refrigerator and anchor them to a strong location, such as wall or post.
To obtain the refrigerator tipping prevention belts (sold separately),
contact the retail store where you purchased the refrigerator.
Model: MRPR-02BL
Warning
The refrigerator may tip over
and cause injury.
