5
Refrigerator should be installed on a firm and level floor.
Install in a low-humidity location.
An electrical short circuit or rusting may occur. If it is necessary to install in a washroom or on a damp floor, be sure to provide gaps by placing the refrigerator on some sort of blocks.
If the floor is not firm, noise or vibration may occur. When opening and closing the door, the refrigerator may topple and cause injuries.
Straight!
CAUTION: This type of refrigerator uses forced fan cooling. Therefore, to prevent reduction in the cooling capacity, place the refrigerator on top of a firm board before placing it on blocks. Do not place the refrigerator directly on top of the blocks.
2
6
Place a firm board under the refrigerator when installing it on a weak floor, on a tatami, or on a carpet.
If the refrigerator is installed directly on carpet or other mats, the compressor under the refrigerator may touch the mat, causing discoloration of the mat, or may interfere with the cooling capability by reducing air flow.
Allow sufficient space around the refrigerator as shown in diagrams below.

CAUTION DURING POWER OUTAGE
Sudden interruption of electricity
• Limit the frequency of opening and closing the door. If the door is kept closed, the refrigerator should maintain its temperature for approximately 2 hours and the freezer for approximately 1 hour.
For expected outage
• Accumulate a lot of ice. The refrigerator can be maintained
by cooling with ice.
• The refrigerator can be maintained longer if it is cooled for 2–3 hours prior to a blackout by setting the temperature control dial to the HIGH cooling position.
• Store as little food as possible. Fresh foods should be
consumed first.
2
CAUTIONS DURING EXTENDED SHUTDOWN
When the refrigerator will not be used for an extended period of time, follow the procedures outlined below to prevent odor and mildew:
- Remove all foods.
- Clean out refrigerator and keep the door open for a few
days to dry out inside.
3
CAUTIONS WHEN DISCARDING
To prevent a child from being locked inside, take the following measures when disposing of a used refrigerator or freezer:
- Do not discard a refrigerator or a freezer in a location
where children might play.

INTERIOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL
NOTICE: NEW FREEZING ROOM TEMPERATURE FEATURE
YOUR REFRIGERATOR HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO INCLUDE A FEATURE THAT WILL PREVENT THE CONTENTS OF THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT FROM FREEZING, EVEN IF THE ROOM TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING. THIS IS A TOTALLY AUTOMATIC SYSTEM AND WILL REQUIRE NO ACTION ON YOUR PART. THIS SYSTEM PROVIDES THIS FEATURE BY PERIODICALLY TURNING THE LIGHTS IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT ON AND OFF. THE WARMTH FROM THESE LIGHTS WILL AUTOMATICALLY KEEP THE FOOD FROM FREEZING. THIS SYSTEM OPERATES AT ROOM TEMPERATURES FROM 15°C. TO -5°C. THE SYSTEM WILL TURN ON THE LIGHTS ONLY WHEN NEEDED. IF YOU SHOULD NOTICE THAT THE REFRIGERATOR LIGHTS ARE ON, EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR IS CLOSED, THIS IS THE SYSTEM AT WORK, KEEPING YOUR FRESH FOOD FROM FREEZING.
How to Prevent Freezing NOTE: IF YOU EXPECT THE ROOM TEMPERATURE TO FALL BELOW FREEZING,
AND YOUR REFRIGERATOR HAS THE ICE/WATER DISPENSER FEATURE BUILT INTO THE FREEZER DOOR, OR HAS AN ICEMAKER, THEN YOU SHOULD PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS. THIS DEACTIVATES THE ICE/WATER SYSTEM AND WILL PREVENT THE EXTERNAL WATER LINES FROM FREEZING.
- Disconnect power to the refrigerator.
- Close valve on water line connecting refrigerator to main water supply.
- Position a container under the refrigeration connection to collect any spillage and disconnect inlet
water supply line from refrigerator. Also collect water from the inlet supply line.
- Position the container under the plastic outlet tube that supplies the icemaker (on Refrigerator
side) to collect any water spillage and disconnect the tube.
- Position the container under the plastic outlet tube that supplies the water tank (on Freezer side)
to collect any water spillage and disconnect the plastic outlet tube. 6. Reconnect the icemaker and water tank tubes to the water inlet valve. 7. Turn off the icemaker (inside freezer) by moving sensor arm to the “UP” locked position. 8. Remove the front grille. 9. Position a container under the water line connectors located under the freezer, to collect any
spillage, and disconnect the two ends of the water line.
- Allow water to drain from the two ends.
- Reconnect the two ends of the water line.
- Install the front grille.
- Reconnect power to the refrigerator.
How to Restore to Normal Condition NOTE: WHEN THE ROOM TEMPERATURE RISES ABOVE FREEZING, YOU CAN REACTIVATE YOUR ICE/WATER DISPENSER SYSTEM BY PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
- Disconnect power to the refrigerator.
- Reconnect the inlet water supply line to the refrigerator.
- Open the valve on water line connecting refrigerator to main water supply.
- Turn on the icemaker (inside freezer) by moving sensor arm to the “DOWN” unlocked position.
- Reconnect power to the refrigerator.
- Dispense water from freezer door. Throw away the first few glasses.
- Check all connections for leaks. Tighten as necessary. 16

ELECTRONIC MONITOR & DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
(TFJ30PF, TFJ28PF, TPJ24PF)
DEFINITIONS OF MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS CODES AND CORRESPONDING CORRECTIVE MEASURES
(1) FREEZER COMPARTMENT MALFUNCTION: “FF”
• If the FF code flashes with a green light, this indicates that the freezer compartment interior temperature has been unusually high for some time (2–6 hours). Check the following items immediately:
• Check for objects that may prevent the freezer or the refrigerator compartment door from closing
completely.
• Minimize opening and closing of door to lower the interior temperature of the freezer compartment quickly. If the reset key is pushed the FF light will go out and the diagnostic system will continue checking for any other malfunctions. If the normal operation code key is pushed and the PF code light comes on but the normal operation code light does not, there may be a power failure or another temporary interruption of power source.
• Wait until it is cool to call for service (may take several hours).
n o i t a r e p O
(2) POWER SOURCE MALFUNCTION: “PF”
• If the PF code flashes with a green light, this indicates that the electricity has been interrupted for more
than 2 seconds. The freezer and refrigerator compartments should be checked. If the reset key is pushed, the PF light will go out and a diagnosis can be made whether there are any other malfunctions present. PF is not a mechanical malfunction.
(3) ICEMAKER MALFUNCTION (AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER): “CI”
• If the CI code flashes with a green light, this indicates that the automatic icemaker is malfunctioning.
Check the following items immediately:
• Is arm switch of the icemaker blocked by ice cubes? (Remove the ice). • Is dedicated icemaker water supply valve open? (Open valve.) • Is icemaker arm switch in the “ON” position with the water supply piping connection not properly
installed? (Set to “OFF.”)
• Is thickness of ice more than 1.2 cm? (If thickness of ice is less, open the valve wider to increase the
water supply.)
• If the reset key is pushed, the CI light goes out and a check can be made whether there are any other
malfunctions. If the CI light flashes again, a service call is needed.
(4) DEFROSTING MALFUNCTION: “dE”
• If the dE code flashes with a green light, this indicates that the defrosting operation has not been
performed during the past 64 hours.
• If this code flashes, a service call is needed for repair work.

STORAGE OF FOOD
(1) STORAGE OF FOOD
When storing foods, place items requiring colder temperatures (meats, cakes, etc.) near the cold air inlet, while placing items which are not to be subjected to dewing or icing (vegetables, fruit, etc.) in the lower areas. Beer and juices should be stored in the door pockets, while butter and cheeses should be stored in the upper portion of the door (astro-door type utility compartment) where the temperature is relatively high.
- Provide space
between items in the refrigerator. Packing items too densely will reduce circulation of cold air, reducing cooling.
- If foods stored in the freezer are not sealed airtight, water condensation could occur on the surface of the refrigerator’s cold walls and dampen contents by dewing. Therefore, when storing, use airtight containers or plastic wrap.
n o i t a r e p O
(2) WARNINGS ABOUT FOOD STORAGE
- Bottles should not be stored inside the freezer because they may break.
- Do not store plasma or vaccines in this refrigerator. In addition, volatile or
flammable substances should never be stored in refrigerators.
- Avoid leaving the door open. Do not open and close the door unnecessarily.
- Do not store hot foods without cooling them first.
- Do not store ice cream in the door pocket.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT FROZEN FOODS
(1) METHODS OF SELECTING AND USING STORE-BOUGHT FROZEN FOODS
There are approximately 3,000 varieties of frozen food on the market at the present time. Store-bought frozen foods are wholesome, high in nutritional value and easy to prepare. Spoilage or food poisoning are of no concern. The most attractive feature of frozen food is its longevity (1–3 months). As long as you have frozen items on hand in the freezer, it is easy to prepare a splendid meal on short notice, with minimal concern should unexpected guests drop in.
• TIPS FOR SELECTION
- Select items preserved in a showcase, indicating a temperature
below -18°C.
- Select items with an approval label from the Japan Frozen Food
Association.
- Select items with the latest manufacturing date.
- Select items with proper shape and that are frozen hard.
- Select items without torn wrappings.
- Avoid items with obscured view of contents due to excessive
frosting. They may have been re-frozen.
• TIPS FOR THAWING
Thaw only the amount needed. Only the needed portion should be thawed by breaking the selection into small pieces or cutting it with a saw.
Do not thaw completely. The correct stage for cooking is
reached when edges become soft but the core is still frozen.
- Food should be cooked as soon as it is thawed.
- Use the appropriate thawing method prescribed for each
particular food.
n o i t a r e p O
(2) BASIC THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT HOME FREEZING
Seal
• THE FUNDAMENTALS OF FREEZING
- Food items should be fresh. Freshness is most important to
ensure tasty frozen food.
- Cool food before freezing. If a hot item is placed inside the freezer, the freezer will warm up, affecting other food items.
- Always seal products in an airtight container or wrapping in
order to prevent changes in food. In addition, liquids should be stored in containers with extra volume to accommodate expansion.
- Freeze single servings measured according to the size of your
family.
Arrange in thin packages and freeze quickly. The trick for good home freezing is “quick freezing,” which is why packaging should be thin.
Set freezer dial to HIGH cooling (9). Return dial to original
(normal) setting after freezing is complete.
- Door should be kept closed as much as possible.
31
CARE AND CLEANING OF REFRIGERATOR
(1) REFRIGERATOR INTERIOR
Parts that can be removed should be washed. Dry parts before returning. Use a small amount of mild detergent if needed. (Detergent should be wiped clean.)
CAUTION: Use mild detergent and warm water to avoid damaging paint or plastic.
(2) REFRIGERATOR EXTERIOR
Wipe off whenever exterior surfaces are dirty or wet. Apply suitable wax to the refrigerator exterior several times a year.
(3) DOOR GASKET
The door gasket will deteriorate quickly if liquid food or juice are spilled on it. Clean the door gasket in the same way as refrigerator interior.
(4) CONDENSER
Remove front grille when adjusting height of refrigerator or when cleaning the condenser.
- To remove the grille, hold the bottom of grille and pull
forward.
- To install the grille, hold both ends of grille and push prongs
into holes.
Vacuum once or twice a year, since dirt on the condenser will decrease efficiency, increase electricity consumption, and reduce cooling capacity of the refrigerator.

‘96 SPECIFIED FREON REGULATION REFRIGERATOR
LOVING CARE INSPECTION
USEFUL INFORMATION FOR REQUESTING SERVICE
THIS MARKING ON A REFRIGERATOR DENOTES THAT IT IS A “PRODUCT THAT MEETS THE ‘96 SPECIFIED FREON REGULATION.” Refrigerators use Freon for their freezing apparatus and heat insulators. Freon is non-flammable and not harmful to the human body directly. Furthermore, it possesses excellent properties which have made it one of the most useful chemical substances and contributed to the development of modern civilization. In its capacity as a cleaning agent, propellant, and for its use in refrigerators, however, it is thought to have caused the depletion of the atmospheric ozone layer. The decision was made to cease worldwide production of this substance completely and to switch to a substance which has less impact on the ozone layer.
