Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes or flammable gas. • This can cause explosion or fire. Do not store petrol or other flammable liquids and vapours in the refrigerator, or use them near the appliance. • This can cause explosion or fire.

-WARNING: Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer. • This can cause damage to the interior of the refrigerator or cause an explosion.

-WARNING: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer. • This can cause explosion or fire.

-WARNING: Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. • This can cause explosion or fire.

Do not try to disassemble, repair or modify the refrigerator yourself. • You may injure yourself – or others – with burns or electric shock, or damage the refrigerator. If your appliance needs alterations or repair, please consult authorized service centre.

Ensure that the refrigerator is plugged into an earthed mains socket. DO NOT plug into an unearthed mains socket. • A short circuit could cause an electrical shock.

Make sure the mains lead and plug are not squashed or damaged. • A damaged mains plug or lead can cause short-circuit, fire or electric shock. • If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. • 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.

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.

Figure 1

Figure 2

Installing the distance guides

To prevent the condenser (the black backside component with fins) from touching the wall, put on two plastic distance guides in its place rotating 90^ .

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 temperature display and 4 °C on fridge temperature display.

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 6 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.8).

5. Removing the chill compartment drawer improves the cold air circulation. Also, larger amount of food can be stored.

6. Set the Screen Saver Mode.

7. Do not over fill the refrigerator to allow the air to circulate.
8. Open the doors only when necessary and as briefly as possible.
9. 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.)
10. When setting to Super Freeze Mode or Super Cool Mode, power consumption will be increased.

Your fridge warns you if the temperatures for cooler and freezer are in improper levels or when a problem occurs in the appliance. Warning codes are displayed in the Fridge/ Freezer temperature display.

Warning codes	Meaning	Details and countermeasures
Sr	Failure/Warning	There is/are some part(s) out of order or there is a failure in cooling process. • Call Service for assistance as soon as possible.
LF	Freezer compartment is not cold enough.	This caution will be seen especially after long term of power failure. 1. Do not freeze the foods that are thaw and use in short time period. 2. Set the freezer temperature to colder values or set the super freeze, until the compartment gets to normal temperature. 3. Do not put fresh food until this failure is off.
LC	Refrigerator compartment is not cold enough.	Ideal temperature for refrigerator compartment is +4°C. If you see this warning your foods have risk of spoiling. 1. Set the refrigerator temperature to colder values or set the super cooling mode until the compartment gets to normal temperature. 2. Do not open the door often until this failure is off.
LF and LC	Not cold enough.	It is the combination of LF and LC error type. • You will see this failure when first starting the appliance. It will be off after the compartments get normal temperature.
HC	Refrigerator compartment is too cold.	The foods start to freeze because of the too much cold temperature. 1. Check if the super cooling mode is on. 2. Decrease the refrigerator temperature values.
LOPO	Low voltage	When the power supply gets lower than 170 V, the appliance gets to steady position. • This is not a failure. This prevents any damages on the compressor. This warning will be off after the voltage gets required level.

If you feel that the refrigerator is not working properly, check out the following points first.

If the trouble persists, disconnect the mains plug and contact your dealer or an authorized service centre.

General

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 and/or freezer door has been left ajar. Close the doors.
The LED light does not come on.	·Has Holiday Mode been set? In Holiday Mode, the LED light of the fridge does not come on. ·Is the power to the refrigerator on? ·If you need to change the LED, contact your dealer or an authorized service centre.

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.
