Refrigerator MR-E50R

Hyper Eco-Product

Factor 2.8

Using the Power of Light (LEDs) to Prevent Frost Formation and Discoloration during Frozen Storage

While continuing to offer the flash freezing that keeps food delicious in frozen storage, these products use the power of light to prevent frost formation and discoloration, as well as bacteria and smells. An Eco-Monitor indicates operating conditions by displaying a number of leaves (zero to three), encouraging an awareness of energy conservation.

Refrigerator MR-E50R

Reasons for Hyper Eco-Product Certification

  • Factor rating of 2 or more
  • Maximizes Use of Self-Circulated Recycled Plastics and Recycled Resources
  • Industry Leader in Its Class for Energy Conservation and Quiet Operation

Detailed equipment data


Materials: Effective use of resources
  • Refrigerator parts are reused by promoting self-recirculated recycling of plastic (polypropylene, polystyrene) from end-of-life refrigerators at home appliance recycling plants.
Energy: Efficient use of energy
  • The unit employs a nanoporous condenser, which employs condenser fins that are porous to increase surface area, making frost formation more uniform. Condenser pipes employ heaters externally (radiant heater) and internally (aluminum pipe heater). This use of hybrid defrost heaters raises efficiency and conserves energy during defrosting.

    * Radiant heater: Heater that uses nichromium wires as heat sources

Toxicity: Avoidance of substances that are potentially harmful to the environment
  • Does not use any substances governed by the EU's RoHS Directive or J-Moss substances regulated by Japan Industrial Standards.
