This manual provides instructions for operating the MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC Refrigerator-Freezer MR-G57N. It covers installation, smart usage tips, compartment details, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Key features include user-friendly elevating shelves, surround cooling system for uniform temperature, pure clear ice making, and a vitamin factory vegetable compartment. The manual details how to set different compartments (refrigerator, vegetable, freezer, versa, ice making) to desired temperatures and modes.
It also explains energy-saving options, child safety lock, and proper food storage techniques to maintain freshness and prevent odors. Maintenance includes cleaning the water tank, ice maker parts, and general cleaning of compartments. Troubleshooting guides address common issues like power outages, cooling problems, ice making failures, and unusual noises.
| Unit does not cool at all |
① Is the unit receiving power? ② Compartments and temperature control modes on the control panel blinks in turn. |
Check the power plug and the main power supply. ② Under demonstration operation. Please reset the demonstration operation mode. page 26 |
| Unit does not cool sufficiently; unit does not produce ice or ice melts |
① See if the selected temperature control mode for the compartment that is not cooling enough is "L". ② Have you just begun using the unit? ③ Have you impeded heat ventilation due to no space around the refrigerator, placed it in direct sunlight, etc.? ④ Anything obstructing the cool air flow? Or is the door being opened frequently or left ajar? |
Change setting to "M" or "H". ② It sometimes takes 4-5 hours for unit to cool and up to 24 hours for ice to make in the summer. ③ Check that installation was properly executed. page 6 Check that the unit is not excessively packed with food items and that the doors are not ajar. page 7 |
| Ice maker does not produce ice or produces very little ice. | Have you just begun using the unit? | It sometimes takes 4-5 hours for unit to cool and up to 24 hours for ice to make in the summer. |
| Water level in tank does not decrease. |
② Are the water supply pump and pipe set properly in the water tank? ③ Is the water supply pipe set properly in the tank holder? |
② In particular, check that the outlet of the pipe in the tank is securely installed to the tank. page 22 ③ Check the installation. page 22 |
| Making ice time is long |
④ Have you left food or the ice server laying in the ice storage bin? ⑤ Is the ice making compartment set to "STOP"? ⑥ Is the ice making compartment set to "CRL "? ⑦ Is there enough water in the water tank? Is the refrigerator tilted? |
④ Assume that there is sufficient ice in the storage bin. Remove foods, etc. from the storage bin. Level out the ice evenly in the storage bin. ⑤ Select either "REG", "QCK" or "CRL" mode. ⑥ "CRL" takes longer time to be made than usual ice. (approx 5-8 hours) ⑦ Sometimes there are few pieces of ice in a batch. page 21 |
| Items in compartments other than the freezer compartment begin to freeze |
① See if "H" or "CHIL" is selected for the temperature control mode. ② Have you placed items with high water content in the back of the unit? ③ Is surrounding air temperature less than 5°C? |
① Change setting to "M". Keep in mind that temperature temporarily drops during “QUICK" mode. ② Please place water-containing foods, such as tofu, vegetables and fruits, and beverages at the front side. ③ Set refrigerator compartment and vegetable compartment to "L" to prevent freezing. |
| Items in the versa compartment begin to freeze | ① Is "SOFT FZR" or "FZR" selected for the temperature control mode? | If "SOFT FZR" or "FZR" is selected for the temperature control mode, food will become frozen. |
| Items in the versa compartment begin to melt |
① Is the temperature setting set to "REF" or "CHIL"? ② Has the temperature just been adjusted or have you just begun using the unit? ③ Are the items on top packed too tightly? |
Items will not freeze when the temperature setting is set to "REF" or "CHIL". ② It takes some time for the unit to cool. Wait at least 30 minutes before placing frozen foods in the versa compartment or use fast cooling. Place the food items so that the cool airflow can flow above the items. |
| Temperature cannot be adjusted | Is displayed? | Cancel the child lock setting. page 13 |
