INDICATOR OF TEMPERATURE

This refrigerator is provided with a indicator of temperature 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 temperature indicator is always BLUE. If the temperature indicator turns WHITE, the temperature is too high; in this case, increase the refrigerator temperature control setting and wait for 6 hours before checking the temperature indicator again.

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 temperature indicator to turn WHITE.

BLUE Correct setting

WHITE Temperature too high, adjust the refrigerator temperature control.

STORING FOOD

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.

To maximize the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure that the food is the freshest possible quality. The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.

• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in an airtight container.
• To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a plastic material such as wrap or bags (do not seal) and placed in the fruit and vegetable crisper.
• Eggs should be stored in the egg holder.
• 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.
• Keep the door securely closed.

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.

Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING

• Unplug the refrigerator first to prevent electric shock.
• Do not splash water directly on the outer cabinet or the interior. This may lead to rusting and deterioration of the electrical insulation.

IMPORTANT

To prevent cracking on inside surfaces and plastic components, follow these tips.

• Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components.
• Some household chemicals may cause damage, so use only diluted washing-up liquid (soapy water).
• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result.

1 Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing water; rinse in clean water and dry. (Only fruit and vegetable shelf is not removable.) 2 Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off soapy water. 3 Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled. 4 Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and warm soapy dishwashing water.

NOTE

• To prevent damage to your refrigerator, do not use heavy duty cleansers or solvents (lacquer, paint, polishing powder, benzine, boiled water, etc.).
• If the power supply is disconnected, please wait for at least 5 minutes before re-connecting power.
• The glass shelves weigh approximately 2 kg each. Hold firmly when removing from the cabinet or carrying.
• Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the inner wall. This may cause the inner surface to crack.

Defrosting

Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving system.

When the compartment light is blown

Contact the service agent approved by SHARP to request a replacement compartment light. The compartment light 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.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

Before you call for service, check the following points.

Problem	Solution
The outside of a cabinet is hot when touched.	It is normal. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew generation.
When there is refrigerator noise.	It is normal for the refrigerator to produce the following sounds. • Loud noise produced by the compressor when operation starts --- Sound becomes quieter after a while. • Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor --- Operating sound produced immediately after automatic defrost operation. • Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzling sound) --- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may become louder from time to time). • Cracking or crunching sound, squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during cooling.
Frosting or dew generation occurs inside or outside the refrigerator.	This may occur in one of the following cases. Use a wet cloth for wiping frost and a dry cloth for wiping dew. • When the ambient humidity is high. • When the door is frequently opened and closed. • When foods containing plenty of moisture are stored. (Wrapping is required.)
The foods in the refrigerator compartment freeze.	• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with temp. control set at MAX? • Low ambient temperature may cause placed foods to freeze even if refrigerator temp. control is set to MIN.
It smells in the compartment.	• Wrapping is required for the foods with strong smell. • Deodorizing unit cannot remove all of smell.

IF YOU STILL REQUIRE SERVICE

Refer to your nearest service agent approved by SHARP.
