Temperature
The room temperature affects the refrigerator’s energy-effi ciency, i.e. how much electricity it uses to chill and freeze foods.
For the best results, install your refrigerator:
●
away from direct sunlight
●
away from radiators, cookers or other heat sources
●
where the room temperature corresponds to the climate classifi cation for which the appliance is designed. Refer to the
Specifi cations Section for your appliance’s climate classifi cation.
●
Extreme temperatures or environmental conditions may have negative impact on its performance.
Stored food may spoil.
Refrigerator door
The refrigerator’s door hinges can be swapped over, from the right side to the left, so that the doors open in the opposite
direction. If this is more convenient in your home, please contact our service centre listed on the attached sheet or access to
our Web site
(http://www.panasonic.com).
We could not be held responsible if you replace the hinges by yourself.
