Refer to the SpecificationsSection for your appliance’s climate classification.LevelInstall on a level floor that’s strong enough to support a fully loadedrefrigerator.You can adjust the level of the refrigerator by screwing orunscrewing the two adjustable front legs as shown in Figure 2.This prevents vibration and noise.If the appliance is to stand on a carpeted or vinyl floor, put a solidboard underneath it first. This will protect your floor against possiblecolor change due to heat given off by the appliance.Refrigerator doorThe refrigerator’s door hinges can be swapped over, from the right side to the left, so that the doors open in theopposite direction. If this is more convenient in your home, please contact our service centre listed on the attachedsheet or access to our Web site (http://panasonic.net).We could not be held responsible if you replace the hinges by yourself.Parts for switching door opening direction are included in the unit packaging.
