If the power supply outlet is not grounded, it will be necessary to install a ground
by qualified engineers.
No earth may cause electric shock.
Never ground the unit through a gas pipe, water main, telephone line or lightning
rod.
Inadequate grounding may cause electric shock in the case of an incomplete circuit.
Connect the unit to a power source as indicated on the rating label attached to
the unit.
Use of any other voltage or frequency other than that on the rating label may cause fire
or electric shock.
Never store volatile or flammable substances in this unit if the container cannot
be sealed.
These may cause explosion or fire.
Do not insert metal objects such as a pin or a wire into any vent, gap or any
outlet on the unit.

shock or injury due to a malfunction.
Disconnect the power supply plug if there is something wrong with the unit.
Continued abnormal operation may cause electric shock or fire.
When removing the power supply plug from the power supply outlet, grip the
power supply plug, not the cord.
Pulling the cord may result in electric shock or fire by short circuit.
Disconnect the power supply plug when the unit is not used for long periods.
Keeping the connection may cause electric shock, current leakage, or fire due to the
deterioration of insulation.
If the unit is to be stored unused in an unsupervised area for an extended period,
ensure that children do not have access and that doors cannot be closed
completely.
Removing doors prevents accidents such as suffocation.
The disposal of the unit should be accomplished by appropriate personnel.

CAUTION - Power supply, re-start, moving, service call -
This unit must be plugged into a dedicated circuit protected by branch circuit
breaker.
Use a dedicated power source as indicated on the rating label attached to the
unit.
A multiple-tap may cause fire resulting from abnormal heating.
Connect the power supply plug to the power source firmly after removing the
dust on the plug.
A dusty plug or improper insertion may cause a heat or ignition.
Never store corrosive substances such as acids or alkalis in the unit except in a
sealed container.

PRECAUTIONS AND ACTION FOR TEMP. RISE
Action for chamber temperature rise
When the high-temperature alarm or power failure alarm (when the battery mounting box battery is
installed) has been activated (in which case, the alarm indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds) as a
result of an unforeseen event, take the action described below without delay to protect the storage
item.
Checking the causes and taking the necessary action
<Important> Check the cause of the temperature rise and take action without delay to deal with
the cause. (“Action for alarm” [page 33])
 If the alarm fails to stop or the chamber temperature fails to drop even after one hour, a machine
malfunction may have occurred. Contact our sales representative or agent without delay.
 Transfer the storage items to another refrigerator and freezer.
Action when the product has stopped due to a power failure
If a power failure is responsible for the rise in temperature, check the recovery time from the power failure,
and take the appropriate action in accordance with the expected recovery time.
<Action to take when the power failure is of short duration (several minutes to up to one hour)>
 Do not open the doors as this will cause the chamber temperature to rise.
 Reduce the ambient temperature to 25 °C or below.
<Action to take when the power outage is of long duration (one hour or more)>
 Transfer the storage items to another refrigerator and freezer.
 Provide a back-up power source if no other refrigerator and freezer are available.
