Installation
This section explains how to install your appliance for the most energy-ef
fi
cient, safe and quiet operation.
Dimensions
W599 x D638 x H1856 (mm)
Unpacking your appliance
Remove all packaging and tape.
Choosing the right location
Ventilation
As the appliance gives off heat during operation, it should be installed
in a well-ventilated, dry room with plenty of space above and behind it,
as shown in Figure 1.
If you can hear it vibrating, it needs more space.
(However, if there is a wall on the side of the refrigerator, a space of
32.5 mm or more is required on the hinge side for the doors to open
90° or more.)
Temperature
The room temperature affects the refrigerator’s energy-ef
fi
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
classi
fi
cation for which the appliance is designed. Refer to the
Speci
fi
cations Section for your appliance’s climate classi
fi
cation.
●
Extreme temperatures or environmental conditions may have
negative impact on its performance.
Stored food may spoil.
Level
After carefully positioning the appliance so as not to damage
fl
oor
surfaces, install on a level
fl
oor that’s strong enough to support a fully
loaded refrigerator.
You can adjust the level of the refrigerator by screwing or unscrewing
the two adjustable legs as shown in Figure 2.
This prevents vibration and noise.
If the appliance is to stand on a carpeted or vinyl
fl
oor, put a solid board
underneath it
fi
rst. This will protect your
fl
oor against possible colour
change due to heat given off by the appliance.

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.
Cleaning
After installation, wipe the appliance clean with warm water.
