Installation
Install the refrigerator at:
A place with good ventilation and not
exposed to direct sunlight or hot air
To keep good cooling performance and
reduce power costs.
A place with low humidity
Operation Cleaning TroubleshootingBefore Use
To prevent it from rusting, electric shock
and fi re.
A strong and level place
To prevent vibration, noise, and ajar or
tilting doors.
To prevent deformation or discoloration
of the fl oor materials due to the weight or
heat.
If the refrigerator supports may sink into the fl oor,
lay a strong plate or board underneath.
A
place
To prevent noise or video interference
with devices such as televisions.
There should be space of 0.5 cm
on the left and right of the
refrigerator, and 2.5 cm or more
from the ceiling.
To allow heat to dissipate from the top and
the sides of the refrigerator.
away from other devices

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.

Use in hot spring areas
Corrosion control treatment may be
required for the refrigerant circuit (pipe)
due to generation of corrosive gases.
Contact the retail store where you
purchased 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.
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 fi rst
started, and during the
summer.
•
The rotating partition
may get hot when
heated by the heater.

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

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 or strong board
for adjustment. (Normally, use a
board with a thickness of 2 to 3 mm.)
Adjust the adjustable supports as shown
in the fi gures below.

Do not damage the refrigerant
circuit (pipes) or drive screws into it.
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.
Installing the adjustable
support cover
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.

(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.

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.
