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 specified 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
ELECTRIC SERVICE CENTRE. Make sure that the power cord is
designed for this model, in order to avoid a hazard.
Power cords should only be replaced by a qualified person.

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.

Tips for Supercool Freezing and Soft-Freezing
If you store the food that is Supercool
Freezing in the freezer compartment, it can be
stored for a long time without losing its taste
and texture.
The water that evaporates
from the food is kept
inside the compartment
to maintain the moisture.
Storing fruit and vegetables
in plastic wrap keeps them
even fresher.

Bathed in light to increase the nutrients! Vitamins boosted up
The orange LED is always on.
Storing fruit and vegetables in plastic wrap
keeps them even fresher.
•
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 being exposed to light.
• 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.

Questions about operation and handling
Before Use
The refrigerator does not cool at all!
The refrigerator takes time to cool when you fi rst start
using it. In summer, it may take up to 24 hours for the
inside to be fully cooled.
Has on the operation panel turned on?
Demonstration operation:
Is the power plug disconnected or has the circuit breaker
tripped?
Page 32
X
The outer walls heat up!
The outer walls heat up signifi cantly (to about 50 to 60°C)
immediately after installation and in summer. This is
because the heat discharging and condensation prevention
pipes are located on the sides and the top of the refrigerator.
They are required for cooling and the heat is not an
abnormality.
The refrigerator compartment rotating partition also has a
condensation prevention heater that heats up.
A heat discharging fan is located under the refrigerator.
Warm air may be discharged from here.
