Before using your refrigerator
Clean the inside parts with a cloth soaked in warm water. If soapy water is used, wipe it off thoroughly with water.
OPERATION
Controlling temperatures
- FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL regulates the quantity of cold air to the freezer.
- If the freezer does not cool even when setting FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL to MAX, set REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL to MAX as well.
- With FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL set to MAX, there will be less cold air directed to the refrigerator compartment, and the refrigerator compartment may not become cold enough.
REFRIGERATOR TEMP.CONTROL

- REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL controls the compressor running time of the refrigeration system.
- MAX setting will result in colder temperature in the both (refrigerator and freezer) compartments.
- The freezer compartment may not cool sufficiently when leaving REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL as MIN for an extensive period. To cool the freezer compartment properly, set REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL closer to MAX.
Over 35^ C ambient temperature


This is because MAX setting (FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL) may result in too little air flow to the refrigerator compartment, causing too warm temperature in the refrigerator compartment.
Under 10^ ambient temperature

If the foods in the refrigerator compartment freeze.

This is because the compressor operation is too short in winter, and not enough cold air is provided to the freezer compartment.
Hints when making ice
- Do not over fill the Ice cube trays; otherwise the ice cubes will be joined together when frozen.
- When the ice cubes are made, turn the lever clockwise to empty the ice into the Ice cube box.

NOTE:
To prevent damage to the Ice cube box, do not make ice in the Ice cube box or pour oil into it.
Deodorizing unit
Deodorizing catalyst is installed on the routes of cold air. No operation and cleaning are required.
Defrosting
Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving system.
Thermometer
This refrigerator is provided with a THERMOMETER in the refrigerator compartment to allow you to control the average temperature in the coldest zone.
COLDEST ZONE
The symbol indicates the coldest zone in the refrigerator compartment.
(The door pocket positioned at the same height isn't the coldest zone.)

CHECKING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE COLDEST ZONE
You can carry out regular checks to ensure the temperature in the coldest zone is correct and, if necessary, adjust the refrigerator temp. control as indicated in the chapter "Controlling Temperature". To maintain a correct temperature inside the appliance, check that the thermometer is always BLUE. If the thermometer turns WHITE, the temperature is too high; in this case, increase the refrigerator temp. control setting and wait for 6 hours before checking the thermometer again.

BLUE
Correct setting

WHITE
Temperature too high, adjust the refrigerator temp. control.
NOTE:
- The internal temperature of the refrigerator depends on various factors such as the ambient temperature of the room, the amount of food stored and the frequency of door opening.
- When fresh food has been introduced or the door has been left open for some time, it is normal for the thermometer to turn WHITE.
Some household cleaning chemicals may affect the inside surfaces and plastic shelves resulting in splitting or cracks occurring.
When cleaning all plastic parts inside this refrigerator, only use diluted dishwashing liquid (soapy water)
- Take washing liquid (soap) water.
- Make sure that all plastic parts are thoroughly rinsed with water after cleaning.

- Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing water; rinse in clean water and dry.
- Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off soapy water.
- Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.
- Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and warm soapy dishwashing water.
NOTE:
- Do not use polishing powder, benzine, hot water etc.
- If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result.
- Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components as they can cause cracking of the plastic surface.
When the compartment light is blown
Contact the SHARP Service Center to request a replacement compartment bulb. The compartment bulb is not to be removed other than by qualified service personnel.
Switching off your refrigerator
If you switch your refrigerator off when you are going away for an extended period, remove all food, clean the interior thoroughly. Remove the power cord plug from the power socket and leave all doors open.
STORING FOOD
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
To maximize the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality. The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not seal) and place in the vegetable crisper.
Dairy Products & Eggs
- Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer packaging which informs the recommended temperature and shelf life of the product.
- Eggs should be stored in the Egg pocket.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
- Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic wrap.
- For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear of the shelves.
- Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in an airtight container.
NOTE:
- Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling air to circulate efficiently.
- Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot foods increases the temperature in the unit and increases the risk of food spoilage.
- Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating circuit with foods or containers; otherwise the foods will not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
- Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.




FOR BEST FREEZING
- Quality of foods should be fresh.
- Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them quickly.
- Food should be properly stored or covered and the air should be removed to seal tightly.
- Evenly place the food in the freezer.
- Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing food.
Before you call for service, check the following points.
| Problem | Solution |
