  • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE IT YOURSELF.

Remove any dirt or dust from the mains plug's pins before connecting to the power supply.

- Dust build-up on the mains plug can cause insulation failure, especially in humid conditions. This can cause short circuit, fire or electric shock. Unplug the mains lead and wipe it with a dry cloth. Never use a wet or damp cloth.

Plug your appliance into the socket, making sure the connection is secure.

- A loosely connected mains plug can cause fire or electric shock.

Install the refrigerator in a well-ventilated area.

- The more refrigerant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. If there's a refrigerant fluid leak, and the appliance is in a small room, the build up of combustible gases is more likely. This can cause fire or explosion. As a guide, for every 8 g of coolant, you'll need at least 1 cubic metre of space in the room. The data plate inside the appliance tells you how much refrigerant your refrigerator contains.

The refrigerant (R600a) used in the refrigerator and the gases in the insulation material (cyclopentane) are both flammable. They also require special disposal procedures.

- Before you dispose of the appliance, make sure none of the pipes on the back are damaged. Refrigerant or gas leaks can cause fire or explosion.

Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and servicing.

- Failure to do this can cause electric shock.

If you smell burning or see smoke coming from the refrigerator, disconnect the power immediately and please consult authorized service centre.

- Failure to do this can cause fire or electric shock.

-WARNING:

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

- Failure to do this could result in fire or explosion because refrigerant cannot disperse if it leaks.

Indicates risk of injury or damage to property.

Do not put glass bottles or containers in the freezer.

- When the contents freeze, the glass may break.

Do not touch the inside walls of the freezer or items stored in the freezer with wet hands.

- Your skin can become frozen onto the interior wall, or items stored in the freezer.

Do not open or close the doors by taking hold of the door handles with both hands.

• This may cause personal injury.

If there's a power cut, avoid opening the refrigerator frequently or putting unchilled food in it.

- This can cause the temperature in the refrigerator to rise and spoil food stored inside.

If you're not going to use the refrigerator for a long time, unplug it from the mains.

Also, be careful of the gap between the fridge and freezer doors, especially if they are both open at the same time.

• This may cause personal injury.

When opening the refrigerator, be careful not to pinch your fingers at the "pinch point" areas. In particular, when opening the fridge door, be careful to avoid the potential pinch point between the fridge and freezer doors.

• This can cause personal injury.

Potential pinch point

This section explains how to install your appliance for the most energy-efficient, safe and quiet operation.

Dimensions

W600 x D652 x H1866 (mm)

Unpacking your appliance

Remove all packaging and tape.

Choosing the right location

Ventilation

As the appliance gives off heat during operation, it should be installed in a well-ventilated, dry room with plenty of space above and behind it, as shown in Figure 1.

If you can hear it vibrating, it needs more space.

Temperature

The room temperature affects the refrigerator's energy-efficiency, i.e. how much electricity it uses to chill and freeze foods.

For the best results, install your refrigerator:

• away from direct sunlight
• away from radiators, cookers or other heat sources
- where the room temperature corresponds to the climate classification for which the appliance is designed. Refer to the Specifications Section for your appliance's climate classification.

Level

Install on a level floor that's strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

You can adjust the level of the refrigerator by screwing or unscrewing the two adjustable front legs as shown in Figure 2.

This prevents vibration and noise.

If the appliance is to stand on a carpeted or vinyl floor, put a solid board underneath it first. This will protect your floor against possible colour change due to heat given off by the appliance.

Refrigerator door

The refrigerator's door hinges can be swapped over, from the right side to the left, so that the doors open in the opposite direction. If this is more convenient in your home, please contact our service centre listed on the attached sheet or access to our Web site (http://panasonic.net).

We could not be held responsible if you replace the hinges by yourself.

Parts for switching door opening direction are included in the unit packaging.

Distance guides (accessories)

Cleaning

After installation, wipe the appliance clean with warm water.

Connecting the mains plug to the household mains socket

You can connect the mains plug immediately after installation.

After the appliance is plugged, all symbols will appear for a moment, and then the startup values will appear as -18 °C on freezer setting indicator and 4 °C on fridge setting indicator.

All buttons on the control panel are touch-operated. (Only press to activate the button you want to operate.)

Notes:

• Cooling may take longer in the summer months or at other times when the room temperature is higher.
• If you need to unplug the refrigerator, wait at least 10 minutes before you plug it back in again. If not, you might damage the compressor.

Ambient room temperature

You'll find your refrigerator's climate classification on the rating plate in the left side of the fridge compartment. It shows the room temperature the appliance is designed to work in.

Climate classification		Permitted ambient temperature
SN	(Extended Temperate)	+10 °C to 32 °C
N	(Temperate)	+16 °C to 32 °C
ST	(Subtropical)	+16 °C to 38 °C
T	(Tropical)	+16 °C to 43 °C

For saving energy

1. Install the refrigerator in a dry, cool and well-ventilated location. The colder the ambient temperature, the better the efficiency. (Please refer to Page 5 for dimensions and clearance.)
2. The combination of drawers and shelves that result in the largest in volume and the most efficient use of energy for the refrigerator.
3. Remove the top two freezer drawers. (Leave the lowest freezer drawer.)

4. Attach the drawers and shelves in the refrigerator to the positions illustrated on the section of "Parts" (P.7).

5. Do not over fill the refrigerator to allow the air to circulate.

6. Open the doors only when necessary and as briefly as possible.

7. Occasionally clean the ventilation openings at the bottom of the refrigerator with a vacuum cleaner, etc.

(Take care not to damage the refrigerant pipe inside the cover.)

1. When setting to Super Freeze Mode or Super Cool Mode, power consumption will be increased.

General

You hear unusual sounds from the refrigerator.	Has the refrigerator been installed on a sturdy and level floor?Have sufficient clearances been provided around the refrigerator?Is anything vibrating on the top of the refrigerator?It's normal to hear some noises when the refrigerator starts or stops operation.
You hear a sound after the compressor has shut down.	This is normal, and is often caused by refrigerant flowing back to the compressor.
You hear a sound after you have opened or closed the door.	This is normal, and is due to the difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the refrigerator.
You hear the sound of air or water flowing after you have opened the door.	This is caused by refrigerant flowing the internal pipework.
You hear a continuous whining sound.	This sound is heard while the fan for circulating the cold air is operating.Has the food been packed too tightly together or is the room temperature high?In cases like these, the fan for circulating the cold air runs at high speed so it makes a loud noise.
The compressor is quite loud.	Has the food been packed too tightly together or is the room temperature high?In cases like these, the compressor runs at high speed so it's normal for the compressor to be louder.
The compressor has been running for a long time.	When the mains plug has been connected for the first time, the compressor runs longer than usual in order to cool down the inside of the refrigerator until the set temperatures are reached.Has Super Freeze Mode or Super Cool Mode been set?Have the doors been opened and closed frequently? Are the doors completely shut?Have the food items been packed too tightly together or is the room temperature high?When many food items are placed in the refrigerator at one time, the compressor will need to run for a longer period.
Condensation forms on the outside of the refrigerator.	Condensation may form when the humidity in the room is high and is normal.Wipe it off using a dry cloth.
The outside of the refrigerator feels hot to the touch.	After the power of the refrigerator is turned on, the refrigerator may become warm until the interior of the compartment is sufficiently cooled down. The refrigerator may become warm even after the compartments have been cooled down. This is due to the operation of the heat radiation pipe equipped on the refrigerator for the purpose of preventing condensation, and is not malfunction.
The controls on the control panel cannot be operated.	Is the power to the refrigerator on?
The alarm sounds.	The fridge door has been left ajar. Close the doors.

Fridge and freezer

The fridge is not chilling (and the freezer is not freezing).	• Is the power to the refrigerator on?
The fridge is not chilling (and the freezer is not freezing) satisfactorily.	• Is the set temperature too high?• Is the refrigerator exposed to direct sunlight or positioned near a heating appliance?• Have sufficient clearances been provided around the refrigerator?• Have the food items been packed too tightly together or is the room temperature high?• Have the doors been opened and closed frequently?Are the doors completely shut?• Has Holiday Mode been set?• When warm food is put inside the refrigerator, the temperature will rise temporarily.• During the cold season or when the room temperature is low, it may feel as if the refrigerator is not chilling.
There is a difference between the set temperature and actual temperature.	• When warm food is put inside the refrigerator, the temperature will rise temporarily.
Food in the fridge freezes.	• Is the set temperature for the fridge too low?• Has the food been placed at the back of the fridge?The area near the back wall is where the temperatures are coldest so avoid placing food which may freeze easily here.
Condensation forms in the fridge and drawers.	• Condensation may form when the door has been opened and closed frequently or when it has not been shut completely, or when the room humidity is high.Wipe off the condensation using a dry cloth.
It is hard to open the freezer door.	• The door is sometimes difficult to open just after it has been closed.• The difference in air pressure between the inside and outside of the freezer may sometimes make it hard to open the freezer door. Wait a few moments, and then try opening the door.
It smells inside the refrigerator.	• Were any food items with strong odours sealed before they were placed in the fridge?Place the items inside a sealed container and store them.• Odours may stick to the surfaces inside the refrigerator. Wipe the surfaces using a soft cloth which has been dipped in lukewarm water.
