2. Installation
Install on a completely flat and rigid surface.
Level the refrigerator by rotating the levelling leg located in the front of the right corner.
The refrigerator is then solidly positioned.
Leave a 2-cm space between the sides of the refrigerator.
Leave a 10-cm space between the top of the refrigerator and the ceiling.
Leave a 5-cm space between the back of the refrigerator.
Choose a location which is not exposed to the sun, which is relatively free from dust, heat and humidity,
and which offers good ventilation. This is to guarantee that the heat radiation will not be impaired.
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 fire or explode.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit (pipes) or drive screws into it.
Although R600a refrigerants are combustible, 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.
3. Electrical Connections
Important: For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet.
This is recommended for best performance and also in order to prevent the overloading of household wiring
circuits, which may cause a fire hazard. Extension cords are not recommended.
Make sure that the outlet provides the correct voltage.
If your refrigerator has a grounding plug, use it correctly. The 3-pin plug must be inserted into a mating
3-pin grounded receptacle. If the installation location does not have a proper 3-pin grounding wall
receptacle, the proper type must be installed. The ground point should never be cut or removed.
If your refrigerator has an ungrounding plug, connect the ground wire to the ground connection screw
provided at the lower rear side of the refrigerator.
4. Operation
1. Temperature Control
Both the freezer compartment and the refrigerator
compartment have a temperature control.
“MID” is recommended for normal usage.
Turn the dial to “COLDER” when storing
a large quantity of frozen foods, ice cream etc.,
in the freezer compartment.
Turn the dial to “COLD” when only using
the freezer compartment to make ice.
“MID” is recommended for normal usage.
If you would like items in the refrigerator
compartment to be colder, turn the dial to “COLDER”.
If the items are too cold or freeze in the
refrigerator compartment, turn the dial to “COLD”.

2. Automatic Defrosting
Thanks to the built-in automatic defrosting timer and heater, this refrigerator performs defrosting automatically,
so there is no need to defrost it manually. Water produced during defrosting passes through the drainage
hose at the rear and collects in the drain pan in the lower rear part of the refrigerator.
Then, it automatically evaporates with heat from the radiator.
3. Ice-making
Pour water up to the water line in each of the ice tray sections. Insert the tray completely into the ice tray
holder. If too much water is added, the ice cubes cannot be easily separated from the ice tray.
Once the ice cubes have been made, turn the lever until they fall into the ice cube storage box.
If you attempt to make ice directly in the ice cube storage box, the box will break.
4. Sliding Case
This sliding case is cooled to a low temperature in order to preserve the freshness of foods stored for long periods.
Sliding case
CAUTION:
Before closing the refrigerator compartment door, make sure that the sliding case is pushed
all the way in (and the lid is closed correctly).
Remove sliding case as shown in the illustration and proceed with cleaning.
Pull the case out all the way. Pull out by holding and lifting the edge of the case upwards.
The way to remove sliding case depends how many degrees the door is opened.

8. LED Light in the Vegetable Case
The LED light is installed inside the vegetable compartment. When exposed to visual light from the LED, vitamin C
levels in green vegetables will be increased and they will be kept fresh for a longer period by photosynthesis.
The orange light emitted by the LED is visible to the naked eye and capable of passing through transparent
boxes or plastic bags. The LED light will operate all the time regardless of whether the door is open or closed.
LED Light
Storage Advice
Wrap fruit and vegetables in foil or plastic before storage in the refrigerator in order to keep them fresh.
Preserve vegetables in transparent containers or wrap in transparent plastic. Place vegetables so that
they are directly exposed to the LED light.
Photosynthesis will occur and increase vitamin C levels as long as the vegetables are green (contain chlorophyll).
Results depend on the freshness and type of vegetable.
Caution
Using a sharp knife or screwdriver to pick or adjust the LED light may cause malfunction.
Avoid disassembling, repairing, altering or adjusting the LED light, as this may cause damage and malfunction.
In the event that the LED light is damaged or malfunctions, please refrain from adjusting or repairing
it by yourself. Please contact the service center instead.
5. Maintenance
When performing maintenance, make absolutely sure that the power plug is first disconnected from the power outlet.
Dip a soft cloth into cold or lukewarm water, wring it out well and wipe.
If you do not clean the door gasket (especially the lower part) when it is dirty, the gasket will easily become
damaged. Therefore, keep it clean at all times.
Do not clean with cleanser, acids, benzine, thinner, boiling water, soap powder, chemical cloths or neutral
detergent. These will damage the paint finish and external surfaces of your refrigerator.
CAUTION
Do not apply water directly onto the refrigerator.
This may result in malfunction, power leakage or fire.
How to Replace the LED Light
In the event that the LED light is damaged or malfunctions, please refrain from adjusting
or repairing it by yourself. Please contact the service center instead.

6. What to do in these situations
When there’s a power failure.
Minimize opening/closing of doors and avoid putting in more food.
When not in use for a long time.
Clean the Ice cube box and Ice tray, clean the interior after unplugging the refrigerator,
and keep the door open for 2 - 3 days to let it get dry.
If not allowed to dry properly, mold and odors can occur, or refrigerant (gas)
may leak due to corrosion of the cooling unit.
When transporting.
1. Discard the water/ice from the Ice cube box and the Ice tray.
2. Use protective gear (protective gloves).
3. Lay towels under the water discharge outlet and under the back corners of the refrigerator,
and place a container or tray on the floor that’s about 3 cms high to catch water.
Towels prevent water from spilling on the floor and damage to the floor.
4.
Slowly tilt the refrigerator back to an angle of over 30 degrees, discharge water
of the evaporator tray through the water discharge outlet.
Have 2 or more persons do this work because the unit is heavy.
Avoid having young children or those without confidence do this work.
Please seek advice from a moving company.
5. With more than 2 persons, calmly and slowly transport the unit by grasping the
front side’s lower section legs and the back side’s upper section outer shell.
Do not lay or load on its side (it will cause damage to the compressor.)
Warning
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit, do not drive in screws, etc.
The unit uses a flammable refrigerant, so if the gas leaks out, there is the risk of ignition or an explosion.

7. Troubleshooting
When the refrigerator fails to operate
Check for a power failure.
Check if the power cord is plugged into the power outlet.
Check that the fuse (or circuit-breaker) has not blown.
When the refrigerator is cooling excessively
The temperature control dial may be set too high.
If you place foodstuffs containing a lot of moisture directly under the cool air outlets, they will freeze easily.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
When you hear a sound similar to flowing water
The sound of flowing water is the flow of refrigerant (cooling gas). This does not indicate a malfunction.
When noise is produced by the fan grill of the refrigerator
The noise produced by the fan grill will stop at a certain fixed temperature. The airflow cooling system
inside the refrigerator is powered by the operation of the fan motor and fan grill.
When noise is produced while the refrigerator door is open
When you open a door panel, plastic components switch swiftly between hot and cold, and this may
produce noise. When the door is closed, the noise will remain until the difference in temperature is
reduced.
9
When the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently
The food may be packed too tightly together, which blocks the flow of cool air.
You may have put hot or too many items into the refrigerator.
The door may not have been closed properly.
The door gasket may be damaged.
The refrigerator may not be well-ventilated.
There may be insufficient clearance between the refrigerator and the surfaces immediately beside and above.
The temperature control dial may not be properly set.
When the front of the refrigerator cabinet heats up
In order to safeguard against condensation, there is an anti-condensation pipe which heats up the front of
the cabinet when actuated. When the front of the cabinet is warm, this does not indicate a malfunction.
The more often the door is opened and closed, the more often the anti-condensation pipe is actuated.
It is also actuated immediately after the refrigerator has been installed. In other words, the front of the
cabinet often heats up.
MR-FV24EJ,
MR-FV28EJ, MR-FV32EJ
When condensation forms on the exterior of the refrigerator
Condensation may form on the exterior when humidity is high, such as during the wet season.
This is comparable to condensation forming on the outside of a glass when chilled water is poured in;
therefore, it does not indicate a failure. Wipe dry with a dry cloth.
When the power plug is disconnected and reconnected, and the compressor ceases to rotate
When the power plug is disconnected from the power outlet and then immediately plugged in again, the
compressor may not restart. Therefore, when unplugging the refrigerator, always wait at least 5 minutes
before plugging it in again. If the compressor ceases to rotate completely, keep the refrigerator unplugged
and wait at least 5 minutes before plugging it in again.
When the side panel of the cabinet heats up
The side panel of the cabinet will heat up when the door is opened and closed frequently, when installing
the unit and when the unit operates in summer in high temperatures. In such cases, do not touch the panel.
This heat buildup is due to the dissipation of heat absorbed from inside the cabinet over the whole of the
side panel and does not indicate something wrong with the unit.
CAUTION
1. This appliance is designed for use in ambient temperature listed below.
MODEL NAME AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE CLIMATIC CLASS
MR-FV24EJ, FV28EJ, FV32EJ-P 16
MR-FV24EJ, FV28EJ, FV32EJ-ML 16
MR-FV24EJ, FV28EJ, FV32EJ-H 16
The internal temperatures could be affected by such factors as the location of the refrigerating appliance, ambient
temperature and the frequency of door opening, and, if appropriate, a warning that the setting of any temperature
control device might have to be varied to allow for these factors.
2.
A rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life.
3. Food to be frozen is not to be placed in direct contact with food in storage and, if appropriate, that it could be
necessary to reduce the quantity to be frozen if freezing every day is anticipated.
4. The electrical power failure for 1-2 hour will only slightly effect the inside temperature. However, open & close of
the door results in the temperature loss. In case there is more than 24 hours electrical power failure, the food
should be taken out from the fridge.
5. In case you are leaving or there is no food in the fridge for more than 3 weeks, The fridge should be unplugged
and cleaned.
