Adjustment and Anchoring
The refrigerator takes time
to cool completely.
• Wait until the refrigerator
has suffi ciently cooled before
storing ice cream and foods
cooler than room temperature.
• Do not open the doors more
than necessary, and close
them as soon as possible.
• In summertime, it may
take more than 24 hours to
make ice immediately after
installation.
There may be a plastic
odor.
This odor will gradually
disappear.
Ventilate the room to prevent any
odors from being trapped.
The refrigerator will be
powerfully cooled
(this is the same for
summertime).
• Because heat will radiate out
of the refrigerator in order to
cool its contents, the sides will
become hot.
• Because the compressor will
enter high-speed operation,
the operation sound will grow
loud.
Prepare for Earthquakes
It is recommended to pass
2 strong belts through
the hand-holds on the top
rear of the refrigerator and
anchor them to a strong
location, such as a wall or
post.
Adjust the tilt with the adjustable supports.
Adjust the adjustable supports as shown in the fi gures below to make the refrigerator level.
After adjustment, attach the adjustable support cover.
(The adjustable support cover is stored inside the refrigerator compartment at
shipment)

If the door is still tilted after
adjustment of the supports
When installing the refrigerator
in the corner of a room, one
of the rear supports may sink,
causing the refrigerator to tilt. If
this happens, use a strong board
for adjustment. (Normally, use
a board with a thickness of 2 to
3 mm.)
Rotate and lower the right side.
Rotate and lower the left side.
*
A few days after installation, the fl oor may sink due to the refrigerator's weight. Readjust
the tilt with the adjustable supports.
If the refrigerator
tilts forward, the
doors will easily
become ajar.
(To prevent vibration, noise,
movement, and doors left ajar)
Turn the adjustable supports to the
fl oor and anchor them so that the
refrigerator will not move.
