●Do you store food with dry odor without wrapping it?
●Because the refrigerator is equipped with the dew prevention
and heat radiation tubes, the surfaces of the refrigerator get
warmer when operating.
●The back and side plates may get warmer especially when
starting up or if the door is frequently opened and closed.
●When the refrigerator starts operation, the sound like water flowing
and boiling water is created. This is the sound of the cooling liquid.
●The noise is generated when the automatic defrost system operated.
●The dilatation of the details inside the refrigerator in the
cooling process can cause sound "crack-crack".
●You may feel that the operation sound is larger because
the compressor operates in high-speed under the following
conditions: the refrigerator does not cool fully on the occasion
such as using it for the first time, opening/closing the door too
frequently. The sound becomes more quiet after cooling fully.
●Please contact Panasonic service center.
●If the water in the tank does not decrease after a while, the ice
maker is not working.
●The ice making process begins after the inside of the
refrigerator is cold enough. (It may take more than 24 hours to
start the process)
●Check if the "Automatic ice maker shutdown" (Auto Ice Off)
mode is set. (Page 21)
●Be sure to fully push the water tank and ice tray into place.
●Do not leave food in the ice maker.
●Do not install or remove the ice tray frequently.
●Check if the water tank is almost empty.
●If water spills on the freezer, clean it up.
●Please contact Panasonic service center.
●Is the temperature of the freezer set to a higher temperature
than -20 °C along with the temperature of the freezer room?
→ Adjust to a lower temperature. (Page 15)
●There are protrusions. → The grooves of the ice tray may be frozen.
●The ice cubes come in a round shape or stick with other ice cubes.
→ Ice has been stored for a long time. (The ice cubes become
round or sticky due to sublimation.)
●Small ice cubes. → Small ice cubes are made when there is
no water left in the tank.
