To prevent the cord from heating up, ensure the power plug and cord are not wedged between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.
You can plug in the power cord at any time after the refrigerator is installed.
Do not plug other appliances into the same outlet. (Current: 220V to 240V, rating: 10A or higher)
Plug in the power cord.
If you want to install the refrigerator in an area where the refrigerator might be exposed to sulfide gas (such as in a region with hot springs), you might need to apply anti-rust
treatment to the piping. Please contact a sales representative in advance. The product warranty does not cover problems caused by exposure to sulfide gas.
After you plug in the power cord, you will hear noise from the refrigerator, indicating that it is preparing for operation.
You might also hear a louder noise from the compressor
or the fan until the refrigerator becomes sufficiently cold.
Do not remove the sticker on the back of the refrigerator, or the plastic parts near the bottom on either side of the refrigerator.
If you attach magnets or suction cups to the refrigerator doors or other parts, the magnets or suction cups might leave a mark on the
surface of the refrigerator.
Photos, cards, or other paper materials on the refrigerator door might absorb moisture that condenses as a result of high humidity.
NOTES
The refrigerator begins to cool
(After cooling the Refrigerator Compartment, the other storage compartments
(the Ice Compartment, Freezer Compartment, Vegetable Compartment) are cooled).
Depending on the ambient temperature and whether food is stored in the refrigerator, it might take about
4 hours
for the refrigerator to become sufficiently cold. In the
summer or during other hot periods, it might
take 24 hours or even longer
.
Do not put ice cream, uncooled foods, or perishable food in the refrigerator before the refrigerator becomes sufficiently cold.
Clean the ice maker before using it for the first time.
After the refrigerator is sufficiently cold, a series of ice-making operations will automatically start.
(If you are using the ice maker for the first time, it
might take 24 hours or longer to make ice.)
In some instances, such as if the interior of the refrigerator is already cold, cooling might not start for about 10 minutes after you plug in the power cord.

Wipe down the interior surfaces of the refrigerator by using a wet sponge or dishcloth, and then dry the interior surfaces
by using a paper towel or dry dishcloth.
Wash the water supply tank and water filter.
Notes:
1. Do not wipe off the lubricant on the slide rails of the drawers or on the surfaces in contact with the slide rails. (This lubricant
conforms to Japan’ s food hygiene law.)
2. When you first start using the refrigerator, you might notice a faint plastic odor. If you are bothered by this odor, ensure that
the room is well ventilated to allow the odor to dissipate. (The odor will gradually disappear.)
Clean the interior of the refrigerator.
