When opening/closing the doors

While opening the refrigerator, be careful not to pinch other one’s hand holding the door.  Mind the gap between the doors. They may nip your hand while closing the door.

When storing food

Do not freeze glass bottles, that there is a risk of injury. If the liquid in a glass bottle is frozen, then the bottle may break and you may be injured. Do not add a high impact on glass trays. Otherwise those glass trays may break and you may be injured.

When moving the refrigerator

Hold the refrigerator tightly when transporting. Apply protective covering, etc. to floors with a fragile surface.

Usage precautions

When opening/closing the doors
  • Do not refrigerate items which are bigger than tray or shelf, as the door will not close completely causing leakage of cool air.
  • Do not open refrigerator frequently or leave it open for long time in order to prevent water dripping inside and waste energy.
  • Frequently check the door opening seal, it must be closed to the refrigerator’s body completely.
When cleaning

Do not clean the refrigerator with chemical substance or liquid. It will cause damage and have corrosion on the surface. Clean the pan water evap located over the compressor at the back of the refrigerator every three months to prevent the odor generated from humidity.

When using

When the plug is disconnected, leave it for 5 minutes before plugging again. If not, the compressor may not work. Adjust the temperature according to the actual operating
condition for energy saving. The humidity inside the fresh case may condense so wipe it with a cloth periodically. Clean the fresh case once a month. If you will not be at home for several days and there are nothing refrigerated in the refrigerator, the plug should be disconnected for energy saving.  The outside wall of refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just after installation. This is quite normal, and is due to the built-in Mullion Dryer Pipe which prevents sweating and radiates heat.  When humidity is high, e.g. during rainy-season, condensation may appear on the surface of cabinet, especially around the door seal gasket. Wipe off the condensed water with a clean cloth.  Do not keep the door open any longer than necessary, particularly in hot, humid weather.

When storing food

ECONAVI Operation

Model : NR-BX471G / NR-BX421W

The refrigerator detects the opening and closing of the refrigerator door and the brightness around the refrigerator to control operations automatically to ensure maximum energy saving. The refrigerator learns the lifestyle patterns of your family from door opening and time periods of infrequent use to maximize energy efficiency. The refrigerator learns your lifestyle patterns from the previous 3 weeks of use and uses that data from the 4th week onwards. Therefore the ECONAVI lamp ON/OFF pattern may change from the 4th week onwards. The refrigerator performs the ECONAVI energy saving operation when it becomes dark*2 around the refrigerator such as overnight when you are asleep. The brightness of the ECONAVI lamp is lowered approximately 5 minutes after the lamp turns on.

Settings for enabling ECONAVI operation

  • ECONAVI operation is automatically enabled when the temperature control for both the freezer and refrigerator compartment is set to Med.
  • ECONAVI mode does not operate if the Quick Freezing or Prime Fresh+ mode is in operation.
  • It is not possible to force to start of the ECONAVI mode.

Remark
The effectiveness of the ECONAVI mode is dependant on the ambient temperature, ambient brightness and the number of times the refrigerator door is opened and closed and the state in which food is stored. Darkness is detected by the light intensity sensor at approximately 3 lx to 10 lx or less.

NR-BX421B / NR-BX421G

This model also has ECONAVI mode, but it does not feature ECONAVI lamp and light intensity sensor.

Troubleshooting

Before you call for service, please check the following items

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 5 minutes before plugging it back in.

The refrigerator does not cool enough

  • Check to be sure that light in control 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?

Dew, snow appear Outside and Inside
When the ambient humidity is too high, the door gasket may have dew. This situation will be stopped if the air humidity decreases. Please wipe it up with dry cloth. Is the door closed firmly?

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.
  • Check if evap pipe in contact with pan water evap.

Food becomes frozen
Do you put the food near cold air holes? Do you adjust the temperature control at Max? Adjust to Min? The inside is smelling. The surfaces of the refrigerator is hot you put food in prime fresh room? Do you store the odour food 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.

The normal sounds of refrigerator
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 is operating.  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 at 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.

Lamp does not turn on
Please contact Panasonic service center

ECONAVI does not  operate
Has the Quick Freezing mode been activated? Is the temperature setting of the freezer compartment and fridge compartment set to something other than Med? Has the door been opened frequently or has hot food been placed in the refrigerator?  The learning function may automatically disable ECONAVI operation during times of frequent use.

ECONAVI operation  is rarely  performed
Is there a power failure? If a power failure occurs, the learning function data collected up until the point of power failure will be lost. The ECONAVI operation will rarely be performed until the learning function has collected data again.

ECONAVI operation is stopped  part way though
If the auto defrost function is turned on during ECONAVI operation, the normal cooling operation will need to be performed after defrost. Therefore the ECONAVI operation may be stopped during this defrost/cooling process. The learning function may sometimes restart the normal cooling operation.

ECONAVI operation is  performed  too often lamp rarely  turns off
Is the light intensity sensor hidden?  Are there dirt or scratches on the control panel where the light intensity sensor is located?  ECONAVI operation may be performed while the refrigerator is being used depending on the conditions of use, but the cooling performance is maintained.
