3. Plug into a wall outlet.
Plug into a wall outlet of the rated voltage on its own with the rated current and insert plug fully.
●
The power plug can be plugged into an outlet immediately after installation.
●
The surroundings and surfaces (side surfaces) of the refrigerator may become hot
(approximately 50 °C to 60 °C when the ambient temperature is 30 °C) when the power is turned on, but this
is not abnormal. (P. 24)
●
If the power plug is removed, wait at least 7 minutes before plugging it back in. (P. 20)
●
If there is no grounding wiring plug in refrigerator, it should be connected with grounding connection to
prevent electrical hazard due to electric leakage.
For safety, the refrigerator should be grounded
(For refrigerators with ungrounded 2-pin plugs)
A ground connection will prevent danger from electric shock.
A ground connection can be made in either of the 2 following ways:
1. When using a socket with a grounding receptacle,
connect the ground wire to it and the screw for the ground
connection on the rear of the refrigerator (please find the
symbol) as shown in illustration
2. When using a socket without a grounding receptacle,
connect the ground wire to the screw on the rear of the
refrigerator (please find the
the other end to the ground rod as shown in illustration
Ground connections must not be made with the following
●
Gas pipes and water supply pipes (risk of electric shock or explosion)
●
Ground wires of telephone cords and lightning rods (risk of lighting strike)
4. Cool the refrigerator interior.
●
It may take approximately 4 hours to cool down the interior.
●
It may take 24 hours or more to cool down the interior and achieve equilibrium in the summer, etc.
●
Ice-making starts only after the interior has been cooled down sufficiently.
●
Do not open/close the doors until the interior has been cooled down sufficiently.
(Warm air flowing into the interior will block the cooling function.)
Requests
■
Do not peel the seal on the back.
They seal the openings of a thermal insulation material.
Peeling them off causes a decrease in chilling.
If you have peeled one of them, then cut a cloth packing tape into a square and
reseal it.
■
Do not place objects on the top of the refrigerator.
It may become hot due to heat generated by the compressor at the top of the
refrigerator.
If it is difficult to release heat, the cooling capacity may be lowered.
Notices
●
Immediately after the installation, the noise becomes larger a little because the interior of the refrigerator is not
cooled yet and the compressor or the fan is operated with high-speed rotation, but it is not abnormal.
(Once the interior of the refrigerator is cooled, the noise becomes smaller.)
