Prevention of television noise or image disturbance.

A place away from other devices

The installation area should not be exposed to direct sunlight or hot air, and should be well-ventilated

to avoid diminished cooling power and to economise on the cost of electricity.

to prevent rusting

It should have little humidity

to prevent vibration and noise, half-shut doors, and tilted doors.

It should be strong and level

Install a strong plate or board under the refrigerator if the supports easily sink into the floor. (For prevention of deformation or discoloration due to heat or weight)

Electrical Connections

The unit should always be plugged into its own 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.

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.

Leave space for heat ventilation

Do not cause damage to refrigerant circuit (piping) / Do not attach screws.

Leave at least 2cm of space on the right and left and 10cm of space between the ceiling and the top of the refrigerator

From Installation to Operation

If your unit is installed in the high humidity location, not only ground connection but also installation of an 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 SERVICE CENTER for the replacement, in order to avoid a hazard.

Short notes for users:

Do not place tall objects under the slide case

Tall objects may cause damage to food or the slide case. If the slide case was removed and not used, it may cause the vegetable compartment to get dry.

There are no such foods that cannot be stored under the LED light. Simply store them in the usual manner.

Even with poor light, vegetables increase nutrients. Then there is no need to unwrap the covers, unless they shut out the light.

Cover vegetables and fruit in plastic wrap to preserve freshness.

Vegetable nutrients will not continue to increase forever. The storage stability will depend on the freshness when bought. Please use the freshest vegetables available.

The vegetable compartment has high humidity, therefore the bottom of each case may become cloudy or condensation may form when a large amount of leafy vegetables is placed in the vegetable compartment. If condensation collects in the bottom of a case, it will cause the case to become dirty, therefore wipe the case with a dry cloth.

Cutlets and cod roe

Items that are not suitable for soft freezing

Soft Freezing

Meat that has been stored in the freezer or was bought frozen can be transferred to the soft freezer, so you can divide up and remove only the amount that you want to use.

Depending on its size, your meat should be ready to cut within 2-5 hours after it is transferred to the soft freezer.

They may not be able to be separated immediately after they are removed from the soft freezer.

Thinly sliced meat or bacon can be cut immediately. They will thaw while cooking or dipped in basting, during which time you can easily separate them.

You can cut and remove the amount you want to use. Furthermore, if you cut them into small cubes, they will thaw enough in 15-30 minutes for you to loosen with your hands.

Cutlets can be cooked on a low flame without taking the time to thaw them. Cod roe and other highly salted foods do not freeze and can be used immediately.

Items that can not be frozen normally are not suitable for soft freezing either. Form and quality of such items after freezing are not guaranteed. Example: konyaku (nutrition yam paste), bean curd, milk, eggs, potatoes, etc.

The soft freezer cannot preserve commercial ice cream or frozen foods. Store these items in the freezer compartment.

Using Compartments

Soft Freezing (Sliceable frozen food)

When not frozen enough When frozen too much

Foods that do not freeze easily

Foods that freeze easily

Since food freezes takes place at approximately -7˚C with soft freezing, it may take up to 24 hours for food to freeze completely. Open and close compartment doors with as low frequency as possible when you add items to the soft freezer. The degree of freezing may vary depending on the type of item, cooking method, arrangement of item (folded and layered or location of item), amount, and period of storage. Items may not freeze or may freeze too much (for cutting with a knife) depending on content of sugar, salt and fat. Items that have frozen too much can be cut with a knife if they are left in room temperature for 5-15 minutes.

Adjust the temperature in accordance with degree of freezing.

Adjust soft freezing setting to “H”1-2˚C below “M”

Adjust soft freezing setting to “L”1-2˚C above “M”

Fruit Others

Blend soft-frozen fruit and yogurt and milk in a blender to make an easy healthy drink. Example: Cut half a peeled apple into bite-size pieces, and a peeled kiwi into 1-cm circular slices. Freeze fruit in the soft freezer. Then blend soft-frozen apple and kiwi, 250cc of milk and honey (if you like) in a mixer until it becomes smooth. (makes 2 servings)

Smoothie

Meat sauce

Boil spinach, place it in an airtight container and soft-freeze for later use in miso soup or butter saute.

Spinach

Fermented soybeans can be mixed immediately after removal from the versa compartment. Chilled fermented soybeans can be quite tasty. You can cut the amount of fried bean curd you want to use.

Fermented soybeans and fried bean curd

Make watermelon ice by cutting watermelon into bite-size pieces and freezing in the soft freezer.

Soft-freeze mikan oranges or pineapple in its syrup to make easy sherbet.

May not freeze depending on the sugar content of the syrup.

Watermelon

Canned fruit

Please pay attention to the following when using soft freezing

Food with high salt content, such as cod roe Food pre-seasoned with soy sauce or bean paste Food with high sugar content, such as stewed beans Food with high sugar content, such as bananas

The soft freezer is recommended for very sweet fruit. Try soft freezing with various fruit.

Eat fruit frozen without thawing. (these fruit will not be fresh again after thawing) The flavor of fruit kept in the soft freezer for more than 1 week may change. It is recommended to eat fruit within 2-3 days to best enjoy its new taste. Freezing time may vary depending on sugar content of the fruit, so allow 1 day for freezing.

Food with high water content, such as boiled vegetables Food with high water content, such as rice Large blocks of meat with low fat content, such as thigh meat

Store left over sauces in an airtight container. You can remove the sauce with a spoon and use it as a universal sauce with gratin or omelets.

Sauces with high liquid content may not be removable with a spoon. Line the inside of a storage container with plastic wrap, pour sauce into container, remove by holding the wrap and cut the amount you need with a knife.

Ice server

Ice level sensor lever (Detects the ice storage level)

Ice storage bin

Make the ice flat.

When storing food items in the ice storage bin, they must not be higher than the top of the bin. (This can cause a malfunction or prevent the door from closing.) The ice level sensor lever will detect the ice storage automatically, and will stop ice making when it reaches a certain amount. (app. 60 to 100pcs.) In order to detect the ice level correctly, please make the ice flat and put the ice server in the front of the ice storage bin. The automatic ice maker could be damaged if it contacts an object.

Your first batch of ice

Discard the first 2-3 batches of ice you make or ice that is made after more than 1 week of nonuse (about 20 cubes). This ice often has bad odour or dust on it.

Please do not put anything deep inside the ice storage bin.

Do not poor anything like sugar, juice, tea or soft drinks, in the water tank. (Heat resisting temperature, app. 60°C)

Placing liquid other than water may cause damage to the automatic ice maker or water supply pump.

Do not fill the water tank higher than the full-level mark.

Filling the water tank with a kettle while it is still in the tank holder, or filling it higher than the full-level mark may cause “connected” ice to form.

Bring light to light-type bacteria removing filter to prevent the bacteria from being bred in the water tank. (The automatic ice maker must be cleaned regularly. )

Can not be removed.

Ice shapes

There may be white sediment (white crystal) or bubbles inside the ice cube.

In cases below, may cause clear ice into such white sediment ice.

• When the mode has been changed from “REG(Regular), “QCK

(Quick)”, “STOP(Stop)” to “CRL(Crystal)”.

(It is set at mode at the time of installation).

• Ice made of water containing much mineral. (This white sediment is a crystal of mineral ingredients)

• When surrounding temperature, status of use have changed.

• When pieces of ice are stored long time in the ice storage bin. (Frost will cover the ice. If it is put into water, the frost will dissolve.)

Making Ice

The shape of ice is trapezoid but somewhat flat and uneven

The size of ice made for one time may vary with the water

amount in the water tank.

One batch of ice is 5-8 pieces.

If the water tank is filled above the full-level mark, the water

channels in the ice tray will freeze, causing 2-3 pieces of ice to

stick together and bumpy ice.

If some pieces of ice stored long time, they will be stuck or

become smaller. (This phenomenon is called “sublimation”.)

The quickly made ice may be cracked or split due to fast freezing.

Up to the full-level mark

Open the door to the refrigerator compartment and check the level from above the tank.

page

Tipping the tank will cause water spillage.

If the water tank does not fit properly in place, ice

will not be made.

In addition, it can cause the water tank to freeze.

Check that there is no foreign material in the tank

holder or water supply pipe.

One batch of ice: 5 to 8 pieces Clear ice is made slowly to increase the clarity of the ice cube. The time may vary according to the ambient temperature of the refrigerator or its usage condition and the type of water used. It may take longer time than given above. It is recommended not to open or close the ice making compartment door, when making clear ice.

Short notes for users:

Ice made of water containing much mineral such as mineral water might cause white sediment (white crystal). When the ice melts into water, it may appear fibrous. This white sediment is a crystal of mineral ingredients, which is not harmful

The V-LED lamp comes on in the following condition.

• When the door of the refrigerator compartment or ice

making compartment is kept open (However, the lamp goes out when the door is kept open for 5 minutes.)

• Before and after feeding water into the ice tray.

The time required for making ice might be longer according to the frequency of closing and opening the door, the temperature around the refrigerator, and the amount and temperature of the water added to the tank.

Troubleshooting

If situation does not change even after troubleshooting, immediately contact a representative of the retail store where purchase was made.

The anti-freeze heater is turned on. This is normal.

The water tank or the water supply pipe freezes

Improper installation or any foreign object might

produce a clearance. Then the cold air can flow backward to cause freezing.

The cold air flows backward to cause freezing.

Remove the dropped food or plastic.

Is the pipe securely attached to the water tank? Is

there any foreign object in the pipe or pipe joint?

Is any food or plastic dropped into the back side of

the case in the ice making or freezer compartment?

Ice is dented, comes out cloudy small melts

The water tank and water supply pipe become warm

Refer to page 21 regarding shape and clarity of the ice.

You are concerned by strong odours (from food or ice)

The deodoriser can not completely remove extremely strong

odours, so be sure to cover with plastic wrap.

Perform maintenance and clean regularly.

Have you placed items with strong odours inside

the unit without covering them with plastic wrap?

Is the water tank clean?

The door is easy to open

The door will not close

Be careful not to stick any stored foods out of the

shelves or cases.

Remove dropped items and items trapped between

the doors.

Lower the adjustable supports to raise the front of

the refrigerator slightly and make closing the door easier.

Does any food come in contact with the refrigerator

door? Are too many foods stored in the refrigerator?

Is any food dropped into the back side of the

sliding door, or is the power cable placed between the unit and the door?

Is the unit installed properly? Are the adjustable

supports right on the floor?

Dew drops get accumulated on the outside or inside the refrigerator.

Frost gets accumulated in the freezer compartment.

Water drips onto the floor.

When moisture in the air is cooled, frost or dew drops

are formed. Dewdrops or frost may accumulate even on a small space formed at the door. Such dewdrops may drip onto the floor.

Moisture may temporarily collect on the unit. Wipe

with a dry cloth. Frost can form easily in the freezer compartment. Try to reduce the time that the door is open.

Do you open the door frequently or is the door

ajar?

Is it a rainy or highly humid time of year?

Your television picks up noise

Relocate unit at a distance from televisions and other appliances.

Use a dedicated power source.

Is your television or other appliances located near the refrigerator?

Is the refrigerator’s power outlet close to the

antennae drop area?

The outer walls heat up; wind blows from the floor

It is because the refrigerator is attached with heat release / anti-condensation pipe on the sides and ceiling, anti-condensation heater in the partition between left and right refrigerator doors and also a heat release accelerating fan at the bottom. Immediately after installation or during summer time, the outside temperature may become high (app. 50 to 60ºC) or hot air may blow out from the bottom. These are necessary for cooling and are not considered as abnormal.

Noise is loud the unit makes

disturbing sounds

the following sounds are normal

The unit has switched to high-speed operation for powerful cooling

during first operation, when temperature is hot, when doors are opened and closed frequently, during “QUICK” mode, etc.

These are sounds made during automatic ice making. The unit’s

automatic ice maker and pump make a sound every 100 minutes or so, regardless of whether or not the tank is filled with water.

These are sounds made during automatic ice making

operation check. This sound is made even during “STOP” mode.

It is the sound of a fan motor starting to run.

It is the sound of refrigerant (gas) flowing.

This is a creaking sound made when warm air has

penetrated the unit, causing plastic parts to expand.

The sound is made when the air control damper operates.

This is the sound of the airflow from the cooling fan.

Sounds suddenly get louder or tone changes.

Rattling, squeaking sounds sometimes (every 1-2

hours).

After the power supply has been turned on, a

howling or creaking sound is heard during ice making “STOP” mode (every 1 to 2 hours).

Whistle sounds after closing doors, etc.

Hissing, bubbling sounds sometimes

When the door is opened a whipping sound or a sound like

water dripping is heard from the inside of refrigerator.

Sounds like buzzing mosquitoes.

Low whirring sound sometimes after opening the

freezer compartment door.
