Installation
Install the refrigerator at:
A place with good ventilation not
exposed to direct sunlight or hot air
To prevent a diminishing in cooling
performance and to reduce power costs.
A place with low humidity
To prevent rusting, electric shock and fire.
A strong and level place
To prevent vibration and noise, and ajar
or tilting doors.
If the refrigerator supports sink easily into the floor
material, lay a strong plate or board underneath.
(To prevent deformation or discoloration
due to the weight or heat.)
A place away from other devices
To prevent noise or video interference
with devices such as televisions.
A place with at least 3 cm of
space beside the left and right of
the refrigerator, 10 cm of space from
the top and 6 cm from the back.
To allow heat to dissipate from the sides,
top and the back of the refrigerator.
Use in hot spring areas
Corrosion control treatment may be
required for the refrigerant circuit (pipe)
due to generation of corrosive gases.
Contact the retail store where you
purchased the refrigerator.

or the space around the refrigerator.
If refrigerant leaks, it may accumulate
and catch fire or explode.
The outside of the refrigerator and the
rotating partition get hot.
Heat radiation causes
the temperature to rise to
about 50

C when
operation is first started,
and during the summer. The
rotating partition may get hot
when heated by the heater.

Dedicated
outlet that meets
the specified rating.
Turn on the power of the
refrigerator as soon as
possible.
The refrigerator will not be
damaged even if you turn on
the power immediately after
the installation.

Connect the power supply
*Connect power supply soon after installing the refrigerator
Use a dedicated outlet
Use a dedicated outlet for the power supply that meets the rating specified
on the rating label. (The rating label is located on the door-liner of the
refrigerator compartment.)
Warning
Using outlets that do not meet the specified rating
or plugging in too many leads into a single socket
can cause heat buildup or fire.
The refrigerator will not be damaged even if the power
is supplied soon after installation.
It takes a while for the refrigerator to cool, therefore
supply power as soon as possible.
Electrical Connections
Make sure this unit is properly grounded.
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its dedicated electrical outlet.
This will provide the best performance and prevent electrical circuits
from being overloaded and causing a fire.
Make sure that the electrical outlet provides the proper voltage.
Extension cords are not recommended.
If your refrigerator is installed in the high humidity location, not only
ground connection but also installation of the earth leakage breaker is
recommended.
If the power cord is damaged, purchase a new cord from
MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC SERVICE CENTRE.
Make sure that the power cord is designed for this model.
A qualified service person should only replace the power cord.
Cooling takes time after turning
on the refrigerator.

If the door is still tilted after adjustment of the supports
When installing the refrigerator in the corner of a room, one
of the rear supports may sink, causing the refrigerator to tilt.
If this happens, use a caster support or strong board for
adjustment.

Although R600a refrigerants are combustible, the refrigerant
circuit is hermetically sealed and normally leaks will not occur.
Warning
Should the refrigerant circuit be damaged:
1. Do not use flames or electrical appliances nearby.
2. Open the windows to fully ventilate the room.
Then, contact the retail store where you purchased the refrigerator.
