Installation
Connecting the refrigerator
Before proceeding any further, be absolutely sure to check that the power plug has been disconnected
from the power outlet. And check the main water supply line has been shut off.
When you want to connecting the refrigerator to the water supply, please contact your dealer, an
authorized service centre or access to our Web site (http://panasonic.net).
We could not be held responsible if you connect the refrigerator by yourself.
1 Attach the hose connector to the water service pipe
opening.
Turn the hose connector clockwise to attach it.
● After tightening up the hose connector as far as it will go by
hand, use a tool to further tighten the hose connector through
another half-turn or so.
● Check that the strainer is fitted inside the hose connector.
2 Insert the coupling hose connector into the water service
hose.
3 Insert the water service hose into the end of the hose
connector.
● The water service hose is firmly inserted into the end of the
hose connector.
4 Tighten the coupling hose connector to the hose
connector.
Turn the coupling hose connector clockwise to attach it.
● Tighten the coupling hose connector until space is lost
between coupling hose connector and hose connector.
After the connection ends, turn on the main water supply line,
and check that no water is leaking.
Notes:
● Failure to follow the steps as given above may cause water to leak.
● Coil the excess length of the water service hose at the back of the refrigerator.
