6. Suggestions for safety
7. Troubleshooting
The suggestions below apply to the operation of your home electric refrigerator. Mitsubishi Electric Corpora-
tion recommends these safety precautions.
If your old refrigerator is still around the house but not in use, be sure to remove the door(s). This will ensure that
children will not get trapped inside.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the wire. Always take hold of the plug firmly and pull it straight out of the
receptacle.
Do not operate your refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.
Fizzy drinks should not be frozen.
Avoid immediate consumption of ice lollies and other similar frozen food items.
If the power cord is damaged, call our Mitsubishi Service Center for the replacement, in order to avoid a hazard.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built in structure, clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.
Do not use electrical appliance inside the food storage compartments of the appliance.
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
When the refrigerator does not operate
Check if there is a power failure.
Check if the power cord is plugged into the power outlet.
Check that the fuse (or circuit-breaker) has not blown.
When the refrigerator is not cooling sufficiently
The food may be packed too tightly together which will block the flow of cool air.
You may have put something hot or a lot of foodstuffs into the refrigerator.
The door may not have been closed properly.
The door gasket may be damaged.
The refrigerator may not be well ventilated.
There may be insufficient clearance between the refrigerator and the surfaces immediately beside and above.
The temperature control dial may not be set properly.
When the refrigerator is cooling excessively
The temperature control dial may be set too high.
If you place food stuffs containing a lot of moisture directly under the cool air outlets, they will freeze easily.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
When you hear a sound like water flowing
A sound like water flowing is the refrigerant (cooling gas) flowing. It does not indicate a malfunction.
When condensation forms on the outside of the refrigerator
Condensation may form on the outside when the humidity is high, such as during a wet season. This is the same
result as the condensation formed when chilled water is poured into a glass. It does not, therefore, indicate a failure.
Wipe dry with a dry cloth.
When the power plug is disconnected and connected again, and the compressor ceases to rotate
When the power plug is disconnected from the power outlet and then immediately plugged in again, the compressor
may not start up again. Therefore, when unplugging the power plug, always wait at least 5 minutes before plugging it
in again. (If the compressor ceases to rotate completely, keep the power plug unplugged and wait at least 5 minutes
before plugging it in again.)
