Removing the doors
If the refrigerator will not pass through a doorway or entrance, its doors can be removed.
Before removing the doors, be absolutely sure to check that the power of the refrigerator has been turned off.
When you want to remove the doors, please contact your dealer, an authorized service centre or access to our Web site (http://
panasonic.net).
CAUTION
Panasonic or its Authorized agent cannot be held responsible if you remove the doors by yourself.
