Do not damage the power cord.
Pressing, folding, bundling, or placing heavy objects on the power cord may cause an electric shock or fi re.
Do not use damaged cords or plugs, or loose sockets.
Doing so may cause an electric shock or fi re.
Do not pull the cord when unplugging the power plug.
The cord may be damaged, resulting in an electric shock or fi re.
Do not plug in or out the power plug with wet hands.
Doing so may cause an electric shock.
Use a dedicated outlet for the power supply that meets the rating specifi ed on the rating label. (The rating label is located on the refrigerator compartment.)
Using extension cords and plugging too many leads into a single socket can cause heat build-up or fi re.
Page 6
Insert the power plug with the cord facing down, and fully insert the prongs.
Inserting the plug upside-down places stress on the cord and may cause heat generation or fi re.
If the power cord is damaged, call our MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC SERVICE CENTRE or its service agent for the replacement.
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.
Follow the
instructions
Remove plug
Prohibited
Power and Power Plug
Remove dust periodically from the power plug.
Dust may cause insulation failure, resulting in fi re.
Remove the power plug before cleaning.
Otherwise an electric shock or injury may result.
When Using
Do not damage or drive screws into the refrigerator's refrigerant circuit (pipes).
Because combustible refrigerant is used, this may result in fi re or an explosion.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the refrigerator.
The refrigerant gas leaking into the compartment with sparks from an electrical contact may cause fi re and explosion.
Do not place volatile, infl ammable objects inside the refrigerator.
Benzene, cosmetics and hair dressing products may catch fi re or explode.

refrigerator
Dedicated
Space of 10 cm or more
Space of 2 cm or more
Install the refrigerator in the following kind of location.
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
To prevent it from rusting.
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 away from other devices
To prevent noise or video interference
with devices such as televisions.
There should be space of 2 cm or more on the left and right of the refrigerator, and 10 cm or more from the ceiling.
To allow heat to dissipate from the top
and the sides of the refrigerator.
Use in hot spring and geothermal 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.
Do not install the refrigerator outdoors or in places exposed to water or excessive humidity.

Turn on the power of the refrigerator as soon as possible.
Use a dedicated outlet
Use a dedicated outlet for the power supply that meets the rating
specifi ed on the rating label. (The rating label is located on 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.
If the power cord is damaged, call our MITSUBISHI
ELECTRIC SERVICE CENTRE or its service agent for the replacement, in order to avoid a hazard.

Otherwise, the refrigerator may move and cause injury.
Adjust the adjustable supports as shown in the fi gures below to make the refrigerator level.
The right door tilts down
The left door tilts down
If the refrigerator tilts forward, the doors will easily become ajar.
Beginning Use
The refrigerator takes time to cool completely.
• Wait until the refrigerator has suffi ciently cooled before storing ice cream and foods cooler than room temperature.
• Do not open the doors more than necessary, and close them as soon as possible.
• In summertime, it may take more than 24 hours to make ice immediately after installation.
There may be a plastic
odor.
This odor will gradually disappear.
Ventilate the room to prevent any
odors from being trapped.
The refrigerator will be
powerfully cooled (this is the same for summertime).
Because heat will radiate out of the refrigerator in order to cool its contents, the sides will become hot.
Because the compressor will enter high-speed operation, the operation sound will grow loud.
Installation

* A few days after installation, the fl oor may sink due to the refrigerator's weight. Readjust
the tilt with the adjustable supports.
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 strong board for adjustment. (Normally, use a board with a thickness of 2 to 3 mm.)
After adjustment, attach the adjustable support cover.

Preventing the Transfer of Odors
It is recommended that foods that have strong odors or easily absorb odor are either
wrapped thoroughly or stored in an airtight container
Kimchi, pot stickers, sardines (seafood), beef, etc.
Food that transfers odors easily
With the door of the refrigerator compartment open at an angle of about 20 degrees or less, the door will close automatically.
The door may stop before closing completely if you swing the door too softly. If the door stops (ajar), it will not close automatically. The speed of the closing door may change according to the amount of food stored.

Do not attach a case that you purchased separately onto the outside of a pocket.
Do not heat the glass surfaces of the glass shelves or place hot objects on them.
Do not close the door while food is in front of the upper case or the lower case.
Fully stow away the cases. Otherwise they may keep a door ajar and reduce the cooling performance, or food may fall and cause damage to a case.
Do not pile food to the top. Leave a gap so that cold air can fl ow to the ceiling and between food.

REF Slide Cases
Notice
Because slide cases cannot guarantee the quality of foods that easily freeze (such as tofu, konjac, raw eggs, vegetables, etc.),
storing such foods is not suitable. Depending on the type and amount of food, as well as its condition at the time it is placed in the
refrigerator, food may freeze.
The temperature of the lower case (when Supercool chilling is set) may change and exceed 0°C.

Ice Tray
Sensor Lever (Detects the ice storage level)
Store food lower than the reference line of the ice storage box (otherwise
it may cause an ajar door, malfunction or damage).
Do not pour anything other than cold water into the water tank, such as
warm water, juice, tea, soft drinks, or other liquids (the tank can resist
heat up to 60°C).
Pouring anything other than cold water into the tank may cause damage.
Do not pour water directly into the ice tray to make ice. Unfrozen water in the ice
tray may fall into the ice storage box, and the ice may join not forming cubes.
Do not place objects at the rear of the ice storage box.
The level of the ice storage is checked automatically by the sensor
lever, and ice making is stopped when the ice reaches a certain level
(about 70 to 140 ice cubes). To detect the ice storage level correctly,
make sure that the ice is fl at and that the ice server is kept in its storage
position in the front of the ice storage box as shown in the left diagram.
