OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Non-Freon Refrigerators
This refrigerator uses non-Freon refrigerant
(isobutane) and non-Freon foam insulation
(cyclopentane).
These materials are harmless to the
environment, and do not affect the ozone
layer and global warming.
Refrigerator-Freezer
Vegetables are exposed to LED light to maintain their freshness.
In addition, vitamins and polyphenols increase.
The fridge is featured with elevating shelves. By adjusting up or
down shelf without having to remove already stored items, Storage
capacity of the refrigerator compartment is maximized. The shelf
can be “made to fit” to larger items.
Surround Cooling System Cold air is directed into the refrigerator
from the front, back and both sides of the compartment. This
ensures uniform cooling throughout the compartment as well as
airflow to all shelves even with large quantities of foods stored.
With Automatic Ice Maker, water is purified. UV Catalyst and
Lead reducing filter removes bacteria with the power of light and
enhances the flavor of water. Enjoy pure clear ice cubes using tap
water or mineral water.
All parts of the water tank can be removed for easy cleaning.
Silent Ice making and easy to use ice compartment. Ice cubes
drop automatically in the ice drawer on the silence mat which
absorbs sound. Ice cubes are ready to use.
Quick freezing function friezes instantaneously at -40˚C food and
therefore the taste of food is preserved. By using soft freezing
feature, the food preserved at -7˚C but still frozen but soft enough
to cut. No more thawing frozen food before cutting or portioning
fresh food before freezing.
Universal design & layout
Designed to take frequency to use into consideration,
the layout of the drawers makes life easier.
Quiet design
*1 According to noise testing using the JIS C9607 standard (during low-speed operation).
dB(A): Noise level unit; decibel A
Using Mitsubishi's original new technology,
a noise level of approximately 17 dB(A)*1 was achieved.
Non-Freon Refrigerators
Those materials are environmentally friendly and do not affect the ozone layer and global warming.
A refrigerator to brighten up your table everyday.

1
Connect the power supply.
*Connect power supply soon after
installing the refrigerator.
Make sure this unit is properly grounded.
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.)
Using outlets that do not meet the specified rating or plugging in too many leads
into a single socket can cause heat build up or fire.
Warning
Installation area
The installation area should not be
exposed to direct sunlight and hot
air, and be well-ventilated
to avoid diminished cooling power and to
economize on cost of electricity
Leave space for heat ventilation
Leave at least 2cm of space on the right
and left and 10cm of space between the
ceiling and the top of the refrigerator
to allow heat to escape from the ceiling and the
sides of the refrigerator
It should have little humidity
to prevent rusting
It should be strong and level
to prevent vibration and noise, half-shut doors,
and tilted doors
to prevent the cause of noise or interference to
the images on the TV
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)
It should be far from the TV
Heat builds up in exterior walls of
the refrigerator
When the refrigerator is first used and during the
summer heat build-up can exceed 50-60˚C
Do not close the ventilation hole of the
refrigerator or the crack around the refrigerator.
If the refrigerant leaks, ignition or explosion
may be caused.
Warning
Use a dedicated outlet
Electrical Connections
Leave space
between items in
the refrigerator.
Avoid opening and closing
the door unnecessarily and
leaving the door open for a
long time.
Allow large quantities
of food to cool before
storing
Use your refrigerator efficiently
to save electricity
Be sure not to catch
food items, plastic
bags, power cords,
etc. in the door when
you close it.
Frost build-up can cause decline
in cooling ability as a result of
even the slightest door opening
wipe wrap
Helpful storage hints
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.
If your unit is installed in the high humidity location, installation of an earth
leakage breaker is recommended.
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.
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.

Turn each
adjustable support
in the direction of
the arrow until
they touch the
floor to prevent
vibration and
noise and to keep
the doors level.
Strong belts
After adjusting the supports,
install the toe grille at the lowest
area on the front of the
refrigerator.
Adjusting tilted doors and
uneven refrigerator
If the installation area is not level or the
refrigerator supports sink after a few days due
to the weight of the food, the door will appear
lower. (Depending on the quantity of food, the
food weight can exceed 100 kg.) Readjust the
refrigerator by turning the adjustable supports
in the directions shown.
For example, if the refrigerator is installed in the
corner of a room, one of the rear supports may
sink into the floor. Use a caster stand (sold
separately) or strong plate at the rear of the
refrigerator. (In general, the plate should be 2–3
mm thick.)
To obtain a caster stand, contact your retail store.
Insufficiently adjusted supports can cause injury
due to movement of the refrigerator.
Caution
Turn the adjustable supports until
they touch the floor and the
casters are raised from the floor
to prevent vibration and noise, transmigration
and half-shut doors
Level the refrigerator left to right, with the
front of the refrigerator raised slightly, so that
the doors close easily and to prevent half-open
doors.
Prepare for earth-quakes
Thread strong belts through the 2 handy-grip recesses
on the top-rear of the refrigerator and secure them to
the wall, posts or other strong area
Consult the retail store at which purchase was made for tip-resistance belts for your
refrigerator (sold separately).
Your refrigerator tipping over can cause injury.

The refrigerator will not cool
immediately after power is turned on.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit or the pipes nor
mount anything with screw.
Non-Freon Refrigerants are flammable gas. However, it is hermeticallysealed, therefore, leaking is infrequent.
About Non-Freon Refrigerator
Please contact the retail store at which you purchased it or a Mitsubishi
Electric Maintenance Service or Customer Service representative.
Should the refrigerant circuit be damaged:
1. Do not use electric items or fire equipments near by.
2. Open the window and ventilate the room.
Warning
The control panel will display “H” for current
temperature (Numeric values will be displayed when
the temperature goes below 20˚C)
Initial is set to “Regular ice making mode”.
Especially during hot summers, ice may take 24 hours to make the first time, and
more than half a day may pass before the control panel displays numeric figures.
It will take 2-3 hours for the control panel to display numeric values.
(In particular, the vegetable compartment, which uses radiant cooling, can take
more than half a day to cool.)
Allow the refrigerator to cool sufficiently before you store non-cooled items and
ice cream. Open and close the doors only as much as necessary and do not leave
open for long periods of time.
To use the Crystal ice making mode, please change the setting for ice making
