Do not keep the door open any longer than necessary, particularly in hot, humid weather.

The top of the refrigerator is made of steel in order to prevent fire caused by external influences. Do not put things on top of the refrigerator to ensure this factor.

When storing food:
Do not overload the refrigerator. Gap must be provided between foodstuffs to maintain the cooling effect.
Store fruits and vegetables in vegetable case, where trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for longer time periods.
Drinking water, beverage bottles should be sealed to prevent odor contamination.
Food stuff such as vegetables, fruits and fresh food should be wrapped or packed in box before freezing and refrigerating.
Put the food such as meat or fish in the freezer if you want to store for an extended period.
Cover juicy food with tight lids, plastic film or foil.

Tips for food preservation

Do not stuff too many food items When there are too many food items and there is no space for cool air circulation inside the refrigerator, the cooling capacity will be affected. Provide sufficient space between foods.

No wasting cool air inside the refrigerator is the key to keeping food
fresher for longer!

Do not block the cool air outlet with food items If the cool air does not spread into every corner of compartments, then the interior will not be sufficiently cooled and more electricity will be consumed.
*The cooling air vents are located on the duct inside the Fridge room.

Prime Fresh Room

The temperature in the Prime Fresh room can be selected as below: · The temperature for soft freeze is -1 °C ~ -5 °C. · The temperature to use the Prime Fresh room as the Fridge room is 4 °C ~ 0 °C.
When using the refrigerator, the temperature can be adjusted according to your usage. *The default temperature setting of Prime Fresh room is -3 °C.

Using Prime Fresh room

Approx. -1 °C ~ -5 °C

This room is suitable for storing fresh food, such as meat or fish. Compared to storing in

the Fridge room, the storage life of meat or fish becomes longer.

When food is frozen too much. Sliced raw fish or meat may be frozen too much. Set the temperature to higher than
-3 °C to prevent food from over frozen. When food is not partially-frozen.

frozen as it intended. Then, set to the lowest temperature -5 °C.

Do not stuff too many food items. When there are too many food items and there is no

space for cool air circulation inside the refrigerator, the cooling capacity will be affected.

Provide sufficient space between foods inside Prime Fresh room.

When storing food in large amount, e.g. a large block of meat, a large fish or a chicken, it is advisable

to place the food at the center of the Prime Fresh room to optimize the cooling performance.

When the temperature of the Prime Fresh room is set at 4 °C ~ 0 °C, the Prime Fresh+

mode will not operate in order to prevent food spoilage.

Do not block the cool air outlet with food items inside

the Prime Fresh room.

Troubleshooting

Before you call for service, please check the following steps:

The refrigerator does not operate.

Check that the plug and its socket are in good condition. Check if there is any problem on main fuse and electrical
system of the house.
Check by unplug and wait for 7 minutes before plugging it back in.

The refrigerator does not cool enough.

Check to be sure that light in Operation Panel is displayed at proper position.
Check to see if the refrigerator is overloaded with stuff or there is any hot foodstuff refrigerated inside.
Is the refrigerator exposed directly to sunlight or heat source? Is the refrigerator door completely closed? Is the refrigerator door opened frequently?

Outside

When the air humidity is high, there is a chance that moisture will condense on the refrigerator surface, around the door gasket or on the door surface. This situation will stop if the air humidity decreases. Please wipe it up with dry cloth.

Dew, frost appears.

Inside

Is the door closed firmly?
Is the door being opened and closed too frequently? Condensation inside the refrigerator can also be caused by
leaving high-humidity foods uncovered or unwrapped.
When the humidity is high, the door is open for a long time, or when the refrigerator contains too much food or makes too much ice, frost may form inside the Freezer room at the location of the Freezer room case, Ice box or the Prime Freeze case door. This is normal. Please wipe with dry and soft cloth.

The refrigerator generates noise.

Check if the refrigerator is located on a stable floor or is installed properly.
Check if there is any object in contact with the refrigerator.
Cracking sound within caused by the parts adjusting temperature which is normal.
After installation, the refrigerator may make loud noise. The noise will be less when the refrigerator has been cooled.
There may be a whistling sound inside the refrigerator when opening and closing the door. This is caused by the air outside being drawn in through the pipe on the backside of the refrigerator to better balance the air circulation inside the unit.

Troubleshooting

Auto Ice making.

The inside is smelling.
The surfaces of the refrigerator is hot.
The normal sounds of refrigerator.
Light does not turn on.
The refrigerator does not make ice.
The ice does not form any ice cube
Unusual shape of ice cubes.

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 surrounding temperature is high. 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 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 Ice box, clean it up. Please contact Panasonic Service Center.
Is the temperature of Freezer room set to a higher temperature than -20 °C? Adjust to a lower temperature. (Page 15)
There are protrusions. The grooves of the Ice tray may be frozen. The ice cubes are round or connected to other ice cubes.
Ice has been stored for a long time. (Ice cubes get round of connected by sublimation.) The ice is small. Small ice cubes are made when there is no water left in the tank.

The ECONAVI operation works too often (the ECONAVI light rarely turns off).

Are you adjusting the temperature of your refrigerator? Flashes during adjusting. Please complete the setting or the
Operation Panel will stop flashing after 10 seconds.
Do you put the food near cold air holes? Do you adjust the temperature control to less than 4 °C for the
Fridge room and/or -3 °C for the Prime Fresh room? Adjust to a higher temperature. Do you put food in Prime Fresh room?
Are “Quick Freezing”, Prime Fresh+ room , Quick Ice Making, Prime Freeze case in active? (Page 17)
When the temperature is not set at 4 °C for the Fridge room and -20 °C for the Freezer room, the ECONAVI function does not activate automatically.
Is the door opened too often or are there hot food stored in the refrigerator?
The learning function can automatically disable the ECONAVI operation during regular use.
Does the refrigerator display any error codes?
Is there a power failure? If there is a power failure, the data collected by the learning function until the power failure will be lost. The ECONAVI operation is rarely active until the learning function could collect the data again.
If the automatic defrost function is enabled while the ECONAVI operation is active, the normal cooling mode will be activated after the defrosting process completes. As a result, the ECONAVI operation may be stopped during defrosting/cooling.
Sometimes, the learning function restarts the normal cooling mode.
Is the light intensity sensor hidden? Are there any dirt or scratches on Operation Panel of the light
intensity sensor? The ECONAVI operation may operate while the refrigerator
is in use depending on the usage conditions, but the cooling operation is still maintained.
