* Connect power supply soon after installing the refrigerator
Use a dedicated outlet

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.

About the ice
The size of the ice 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 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.
About quick ice making
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 operation sound gets louder during quick ice
making, because the refrigerator operates 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.

TroubleshootingBefore UseOperationCleaning
Step
Use plastic wrap to cover containers or
wrap rice.
Avoid using aluminum foil or paper wrapping, because
it interferes with accurate measurement of the food
temperature.
When storing food in sealed containers,
stuff the food until the container is full.
If there is not much food in a container, the food
temperature may not be measured accurately.
What about storage containers?
You can supercool freeze hot food!
For leftover rice, divide it by
the amount per serving and
wrap them. while still warm and
supercool freeze it.
It can be preserved for about 2 weeks with soft freezing.
It thaws well with no unevenness.
Leftover curry can be put in the
versa compartment while still hot
for supercool freezing.
Even curry containing potatoes can
be stored without losing its texture
and taste.
Freshly cooked sauces can be poured into a storage container
while still hot for supercool freezing. After hardening, 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.
What about hot food?
Do not store food that is hotter
than 80°C.
Example: Freshly
cooked rice is
about 70°C
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.
Storing meat and fi sh with soft freezing
take it out just before you use it. You can
easily cut the soft frozen food using a kitchen
knife.
Blocks of meat
We recommend using blocks of meat of about 100 to 400
grams for supercool freezing. 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 2 to 5 hours
after transferring from the freezer
compartment.
Thinly sliced meat or bacon
Can be cut without thawing. They will thaw while basting,
when you can easily separate them.
If they cannot be separated
immediately after removal,
wait for a while and try again.
Ground meat
You can cut out the required 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.
16
Potatoes and broccoli
Boiled vegetables to be used in croquettes or salads
can be cooled down using supercool freezing.
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.
When performing soft freezing after

If more food is added afterward, the

If hot food and cold food below
room temperature are placed
inside at the same time, priority
is given to cooling the hot food.
The HIKARI sensor (infrared sensor)
monitors the food condition from the top of
the versa compartment. Arrange the food to
make it easy for the sensor to measure the
temperature.

Delicious fruit and desert recipesOthers
We recommend that
hot food be separated
from the frozen food
and placed at the front.
The hot food may touch
and thaw the frozen
food.
Sweet fruits are recommended.
You can enjoy a wide range of supercool
frozen fruits.
Mix supercool frozen fruit with yoghurt and milk in a blender to
make a simple, healthy drink. It is also easy to make healthy lowsugar jam or ice cream.
Watermelon
Make watermelon ice by cutting
watermelon into bite-size pieces and
supercool freezing them.
You can try with lots of different fruits.
Frozen yoghurt
Sugared yoghurt can be supercool frozen
while still in its cup. After one night, it
becomes a fi ne, smooth ice cream.
Smoothie
Cut half a peeled apple into large bite-size
pieces, and a peeled kiwi into circular slices
with a thickness of 1 cm. Supercool freeze them.
Put the supercool frozen apple and kiwi into a blender
with 250 cc of milk and some honey (if you like), and
blend until smooth (makes 2 servings).
Jam
Put 1 pack of strawberries (about 300 grams) into a container
and mash them thoroughly.
Mix in 60 to 100 grams of sugar (depending on the
sweetness of the strawberries) and supercool freeze the
mixture.
Leave for one night and it turns
into a tasty strawberry jam.
Easy to make from even a small amount
of fruit. Try next time you have some
leftover fruit!
Do not store in a glass container.
It may break.
Note
(apple and kiwi smoothie)
(strawberry jam)
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 a week with soft freezing,
its taste may change. To enjoy the fresh texture, we
recommend eating within 2 to 3 days.
Natto
Natto can be mixed immediately after
removal from the compartment.
Fried bean curd
You can cut out the required amount.

Even after supercool freezing has fi nished and turns off,

Supercool freezing may not be possible or the degree of
freezing or freezer burn may vary depending on the food
type, cooking method, storage arrangement (stacking,
storage location), the amount of food, and the storage time.
Depending on how much sugar, salt or fat that the food
contains, 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 hard, leave it for about 5 to 15 minutes

Even when a door is open only slightly, it can cause frost

If too much food is packed inside the refrigerator or the

• Vegetables stay alive even after harvest. Being bathed in light, their nutrients are boosted up.
• There is almost no vegetable, fruit, drink or seasoning that cannot be preserved or stored

• The vegetable nutrients are increased even with a weak light, so packaging does not need to
be removed (except when the packaging completely blocks off the light).
• The vegetable nutrients are not increased forever. The preservation also depends
on the freshness at the time of purchase. Eat vegetables when they are as fresh as possible.
• Because the vegetable compartment has a high humidity, fogging or condensation may form
on the roof of the vegetable compartment or the bottom of the cases. Condensation forming
on the bottom may make the case dirty, so wipe it off with a dry cloth.

When using the regular or quick ice making setting, do not put

The level of the ice storage is checked automatically by the sensor
lever, and ice making is stopped when the ice reaches a certain level
(about 80 to 140 ice cubes). To ensure that the ice storage level is
detected correctly, make sure that the ice is fl at and that the ice server

Pouring anything other than cold water into the
