Do Nothing and Save Energy! Welcome to an Easy-Going, Eco-Friendly Life. The high energy saving performance of Panasonic products is now even better. Revolutionary ECONAVI electrical appliances determine conditions during use to automatically save energy. A sensor detects whether an appliance is consuming too much energy by, for example, automatically reducing the amount of electricity used when the appliance operates too long or when overcooling is detected. The result is convenience and comfort without troublesome settings. With Panasonic's new ECONAVI, living a more eco-friendly life has never been easier.

ECONAVI uses a Door Sensor and Lighting Sensor to detect the family’s lifestyle patterns. Then it will learn and predict when the doors are often opened, and also detect room brightness, letting the refrigerator operate at the optimum power, adapting to the lifestyle patterns of any family.

Automatically Detects and Cuts Excessive Cooling for Maximum Power Saving
Prevents Excessive Cooling by Frequently Switching Operation for Efficient Refrigeration ECONAVI operates in two ways to match your lifestyle pattern for smart power saving.
NIGHT ECO 4

When lights are switched off, cooling power is automatically reduced Whether the refrigerator is being used or not is determined by surrounding brightness. When not being used, power is reduced for energy saving operation. Ample cooling when oftenare used! When surroundings bright
When the surroundings are dark Minimum cooling at night and when not being used.
Optimum cooling is provided in response to how frequently the door is opened/closed and the temperature.

Unlike power saving modes that simply provide weaker cooling, ECONAVI assures thorough cooling when the refrigerator is often used. Dinnertime memorized by ECONAVI
It's nearly dinnertime! Let's cool more powerfully.
Conventional power saving mode Weak cooling all the time, so refrigeration is insufficient. With ECONAVI Power is increased when being used, decreased when not. The result is optimum refrigeration 24 hours a day.

Flexible output control assures precise adjustment of temperature inside the refrigerator.
Why ECONAVI? To protect the global environment, we have to reduce electricity and water consumption in the home. But this is troublesome and hard to maintain. With ECONAVI, Panasonic provides an effective energy saving solution that doesn't place a burden on the user.

The inverter intelligently uses 7* power settings to match both the temperature inside the refrigerator and the amount of food stored. Full-power operation is selected when the door is frequently opened and closed, while minimum power operation is selected when it is infrequently opened and closed to dramatically reduce electricity consumption.

AM7:00 Leave for work, go out
A refrigerator uses electricity 24 hours a day. That's why improved energy saving is such an important issue. Instead of constantly cooling with the same power, switching to weaker cooling and maintaining the temperature inside the refrigerator when it isn't being used should enable reasonable energy saving. ECONAVI is a function that determines by itself the times when there's a chance to save energy, and automatically switches to power saving operation. Now there's no need for troublesome setting changes. With this new function, anyone can save energy by doing nothing at all.
