Choosing the right location

Install the refrigerator in a location which satisfies the following criteria:

• Where the refrigerator will not be exposed to direct sunlight
• Where the refrigerator will be at a distance from heating appliances, cooking appliances and other sources of heat
  • A location which is well-ventilated and dry
  • Where the floor is sturdy and level

Place a solid board underneath if the refrigerator is to be installed on top of a carpet or vinyl floor.

The board will protect the floor from becoming deformed and discoloured.

Provide clearance to allow heat to dissipate

Residual heat is always being emitted from the refrigerator while it is operating.

Provide sufficient clearance around the refrigerator to allow this heat to dissipate so that its cooling ability is not impaired.

Dimensions (mm): W 890 x D 600 x H 1765 (Without Door)

Dimensions (mm): W 89.5 x D 690 x H 1788 (With Door)

When the doors are completely open

When the inside drawers have been taken out

NOTE: All dimensions in mm (if not specified)

Removing the doors

If the refrigerator will not pass through a doorway or entrance, its doors can be removed.

Before removing the doors, be absolutely sure to check that the power of the refrigerator has been turned off.

When you want to remove the doors, please contact your dealer, an authorized service centre or access to our Web site (http://panasonic.net).

Note : Panasonic or its Authorized agent cannot be held responsible if you remove the doors by yourself.

Levelling the refrigerator

Turn the adjustable legs so that the refrigerator is installed flush with the floor.

If the left and right doors are not flush with each other, turn one of the adjustable legs, and bring the doors into alignment.

1. Move the refrigerator into its final location. If necessary, open both doors to 90°.
2. The two leveling feet are located on the brackets on each side of the product.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling feet. This makes it easier to make adjustments.

1. Turn the leveling foot to the left to raise that side of the product, or turn it to the right to lower that side of the product.
   NOTE: Both leveling feet should be snug against the floor, and the rollers should not touch the floor. This keeps the refrigerator from rolling forward when opening the doors.
2. Open both doors again and check that they close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning the leveling feet to the left. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling feet the same amount.
3. Use a bubble level to check the leveling of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Whenever you need to move the refrigerator, turn the leveling feet to the right until they are no longer touching the ground. This will allow the refrigerator to roll more easily.

Preparing before using

• Remove all the packing materials and tapes.
• Wipe the inside of the refrigerator using a soft cloth which has been dipped in lukewarm water and then wrung out.
• Wash and completely dry the ice box before installing it. (Do not use a dish dryer, hair dryer or other appliance when drying.)
• Connecting the power plug to the power outlet

Notes:

• Cooling may take longer in the summer months or at other times when the room temperature is higher.
• The temperature display flashes to warn that the temperature has risen
• If you need to unplug the refrigerator, wait at least 10 minutes before you plug it back in again. You might damage the compressor.

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 clicking sound each time the refrigerator's power is turned on.	This is the sound made by the activation of the three-way valve, and is quite normal.
You hear a continuous whining sound.	This sound is heard while the fan for circulating the cold air is operating.Has the refrigerator been set to the Super Freeze Mode?In the Super Freeze Mode, the fan for circulating the cold air runs at high speed so it makes a loud noise.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 refrigerator been set to the Super Freeze Mode?In the Super Freeze Mode, the compressor runs at high speed so it makes a loud noise.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 power 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 the refrigerator been set to the Super Freeze Mode?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 at a time, the compressor will need to run for a longer.
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.	Some heat is normal as the refrigerator incorporates a heat-dissipating pipe to prevent condensation.
