44 Safety instructions (continued) Ensure that the refrigerator is plugged into an earthed mains socket. DO NOT plug into an unearthed mains socket. Make sure the mains lead and plug are not squashed or damaged. • A damaged mains plug or lead can cause short-circuit, fire or electric shock. • If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer , its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. • DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE IT YOURSELF. Remove any dirt or dust from the mains plug’s pins before connecting to the power supply. • Dust build-up on the mains plug can cause insulation failure, especially in humid conditions. This can cause short circuit, fire or electric shock. Unplug the mains lead and wipe it with a dry cloth. Never use a wet or damp cloth. Plug your appliance into the socket, making sure the connection is secure. • A loosely connected mains plug can cause fire or electric shock. Install the refrigerator in a well-ventilated area. • The more refrigerant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. If there’ s a refrigerant fluid leak, and the appliance is in a small room, the build up of combustible gases is more likely . This can cause fire or explosion. As a guide, for every 8 g of coolant, you’ll need at least 1 cubic metre of space in the room. The data plate inside the appliance tells you how much refrigerant your refrigerator contains. The refrigerant (R600a) used in the refrigerator and the gases in the insulation material (cyclopentane) are both flammable. They also require special disposal procedures. • Before you dispose of the appliance, make sure none of the pipes on the back are damaged. Refrigerant or gas leaks can cause fire or explosion. Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and servicing. • Failure to do this can cause electric shock. If you smell burning or see smoke coming from the refrigerator, disconnect the power immediately and please consult authorized service centre. LED RADIATION DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS CLASS 1M LED PRODUCT -WARNING: Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction. CAUTIONIndicates risk of injury or damage to property. Do not put glass bottles or containers in the freezer. • When the contents freeze, the glass may break. Do not touch the inside walls of the freezer or items stored in the freezer with wet hands. • Your skin can become frozen onto the interior wall, or items stored in the freezer. Do not open or close the doors by taking hold of the door handles with both hands. • This may cause personal injury. If there’s a power cut, avoid opening the refrigerator frequently or putting unchilled food in it. • This can cause the temperature in the refrigerator to rise and spoil food stored inside. If you’re not going to use the refrigerator for a long time, unplug it from the mains. Also, be careful of the gap between the fridge and freezer doors, especially if they are both open at the same time. • This may cause personal injury. When opening the refrigerator, be careful not to pinch your fingers at the “pinch point” areas. • This can cause personal injury. Potential pinch point
5 English 5 Installation This section explains how to install your appliance for the most energy-efficient, safe and quiet operation. Dimensions W601 x D648 x H1898 (mm) Unpacking your appliance Remove all packaging and tape. Choosing the right location Ventilation As the appliance gives off heat during operation, it should be installed in a well-ventilated, dry room with plenty of space above and behind it, as shown in Figure 1. If you can hear it vibrating, it needs more space. Temperature The room temperature affects the refrigerator’s energy-efficiency, i.e. how much electricity it uses to chill and freeze foods. For the best results, install your refrigerator: ● away from direct sunlight ● away from radiators, cookers or other heat sources ● where the room temperature corresponds to the climate classification for which the appliance is designed. Refer to the Specifications Section for your appliance’s climate classification. Level Install on a level floor that’s strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator. You can adjust the level of the refrigerator by screwing or unscrewing the two adjustable front legs as shown in Figure 2. This prevents vibration and noise. If the appliance is to stand on a carpeted or vinyl floor, put a solid board underneath it first. This will protect your floor against possible colour change due to heat given off by the appliance. Refrigerator door WARNING The refrigerator’s door hinges can be swapped over, from the right side to the left, so that the doors open in the opposite direction. If this is more convenient in your home, please contact our service centre listed on the attached sheet or access to our Web site (http://panasonic.net). We could not be held responsible if you replace the hinges by yourself. Installing the spacers Install the spacers on the back panel of the refrigerator to ensure the minimum amount of space required to allow the heat generated by the refrigerator. Spacer (accessory) Attach to the back panel of the refrigerator after removing the double-sided tape's release liner. Parts for switching door opening direction (accessory) 100 mm or more 50 mm or more 20 mm or more Figure 1 Figure 2 Spacers from Manualë
66 Cleaning After installation, wipe the appliance clean with warm water. Connecting the mains plug to the household mains socket You can connect the mains plug immediately after installation. When the mains plug is connected to the household mains socket, the temperature display starts flashing as shown in the figure on the right, and cooling starts inside the refrigerator. The temperatures displayed at this time are not the actual temperatures. When the temperature of the fridge reaches 8 °C, the freezer reaches -12 °C and the Vitamin-Safe Zone reaches 8 °C, the temperature display stops flashing and lights, and it shows the actual temperature. It takes about half a day to reach the set temperatures (when the room temperature is around 32 °C, there is no food inside the refrigerator, and the doors are closed). The actual temperatures may not be displayed for a while after the temperature display stops flashing. Place food inside the refrigerator only after confirming that the refrigerator compartment has been cooled. Notes: • Cooling may take longer in the summer months or at other times when the room temperature is higher . • While the temperature display is flashing, the alarm sounds to warn that the temperature has risen. The alarm can be turned off by pressing . • If you need to unplug the refrigerator, wait at least 10 minutes before you plug it back in again. If not, you might damage the compressor. Ambient room temperature You’ll find your refrigerator’s climate classification on the rating plate in the left side of the refrigerator compartment. It shows the room temperature the appliance is designed to work in. Climate classification Permitted ambient temperature SN (Extended Temperate) +10°C to 32°C N (Temperate) +16°C to 32°C ST (Subtropical) +16°C to 38°C T (Tropical) +16°C to 43°C For saving energy 1. Install the refrigerator in a dry, cool and well-ventilated location. The colder the ambient temperature, the better the efficiency. (Please refer to Page 5 for dimensions and clearance) 2. The combination of drawers and shelves that result in the largest in volume and the most efficient use of energy for the refrigerator. • Remove all drawers in the freezer. • Attach the drawers and shelves in the refrigerator to the positions illustrated on the section of “Parts” (P .7). 3. Do not over fill the refrigerator to allow the air to circulate. 4. Open the doors only when necessary and as briefly as possible. 5. Occasionally clean the ventilation openings at the bottom of the refrigerator with a vacuum cleaner , etc. (Take care not to damage the refrigerant pipe inside the cover) 6. When setting to “Super Freeze Mode”, power consumption will be increased. Installation (continued)
