Accumulation in the drain path disturbs normal flow of defrosted water or condensed water.

Accumulated water from defrosting and condensing penetrates the product body to cause "performance deterioration of heat insulation material" and leads to "poor cooling" or current leak in the electrical components.

Cleaning interval varies by product construction and installed environment.

Use as only a guideline. Contact your distributor for cleaning of the drain path.

CAUTION

Do not clean the path by the user.

ProhibitedPANASONIC SRR-K1581-ME - CAUTION - 1
