Dedicated outlet that meets

the specified 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.

2 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 specified rating or plugging in too many leads into a single socket can cause heat buildup or fire.

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 fire.

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.

The outside of the refrigerator

and the rotating partition get hot.

•Heat dissipation causes the temperature to rise to about 50 to 60°C or even higher when operation is first started, and during the summer.

• The rotating partition

Rotating

partition

may get hot when heated by the heater.

It takes time for cooling even

after turning on the refrigerator.

•Wait until the refrigerator has been fully cooled before storing noncooled food or ice cream.

•Do not open the doors more than necessary, and close them as soon as possible.

When making ice for the first time

When the weather is hot in summer, it may take more than 24 hours.

Bottom front of refrigerator

Adjustable Caster

support

Turn the adjustable supports in the arrow direction until they touch the floor.

Caution

If the supports are not adjusted properly, the refrigerator may move and cause injury.

3 Adjustment and anchoring

(To prevent vibration, noise, movement, and doors left ajar)

Turn and lower the adjustable supports until they touch the floor and the front casters are raised from the floor to fix the refrigerator.

Preventing doors from being left ajar

Adjust the supports to make the refrigerator level.

If the front of the refrigerator is slightly raised, the doors are easier to close.

Adjusting a tilted door or unevenness

Adjust the adjustable supports as shown in the figures below.

The right door tilts down The left door tilts down

Right	Left
Rotate and lower the	Rotate and lower the
right side	left side

If the installation location is not level or the supports sink after a few days

of installation due to the weight of the food, the doors may appear tilted. Readjust the supports.

*More than 100 kg of food can be stored in the refrigerator.

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 or strong board for adjustment. (Normally, use a

board with a thickness of 2 to 3 mm.)

Rear support

support cover

The adjustable support cover is stored inside the refrigerator compartment at shipment.

Installing the adjustable support cover

Fully insert the adjustable support cover horizontally until it touches the rear side.

support

The operation noise gets louder immediately after installation.

Immediately after instillation, when: the weather is hot, the doors are frequently opened or closed, or any similar situation; the operation noise will get louder because the refrigerator will switch to high-speed operation to cool with high power.

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit (pipes) or drive screws into it.

Although flammable 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 flames or electrical appliances nearby.

2.Open the windows to fully ventilate the room.

Then, contact the retail store where you purchased the refrigerator.

Prepare for earthquakes (for areas prone to 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.

Warning	Strong belts

The refrigerator may tip over and cause injury.

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.

• 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.

*The orange LED is equipped to the MR-EX655W only (not equipped to the MR-EX562W).

Do not stack food higher than the case.

•Food or the slide case may be damaged.

•The door may not be closed.

Caution Because the vegetable compartment has a high humidity depending on the amount or types of vegetables, frost or condensation may form on the roof of the vegetable compartment or the surface of the cases.

When condensation forms, wipe it off with a dry cloth.
