DESCRIPTION INSTALLATION WARNING Do not install the refrigerator in a damp or wet

location as this may cause damage to the

insulation and a leak. Condensation may also

build on the outer cabinet and cause rust. 1. Keep adequate ventilation space around the refrigerator. • The figure shows the minimum required space for installing the refrigerator. It differs from the space in the measurement condition of the amount of power consumption. • It is possible to use the refrigerator with a less amount of power consumption by keeping greater space. • If using the refrigerator in the space below dimension of the figure, it may cause the temperatures in the unit to rise, loud noise, and failure. 2. Using the front Adjustable foot, ensure that the refrigerator is positioned firmly and level on the floor. NOTE: • Position your refrigerator so that the plug is accessible.• Keep your refrigerator out of direct sunlight.• Do not place next to heat generating appliance.• Do not place directly on the ground. Provide suitable stand. 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.Freezer shelfMagnetic door sealDoor pocket * Door pocket * Magnetic door sealEgg holder * Egg pocketLight switchSmall pocket (right) * Small pocket (left)Bottle pocketFreezer temp.control knob Refrigerator temp.control knobRefrigerator LED lightRefrigerator shelfVegetable shelfVegetable crisperAdjustable footIce cube trayIce cube boxFresh room *

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 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 Under 10°C ambient temperature Hints when making ice

When the ice cubes are made,

hold the Ice cube tray upside down

whilst twisting either end in opposite

directions, allowing the ice cubes to

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. 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 indicator of temperature is always BLUE. If the indicator of temperature turns WHITE, the temperature is too high; in this case, increase the refrigerator temp. control setting and wait for 6 hours before checking the indicator of temperature 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 indicator of temperature to turn WHITE.

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.

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.

CARE AND CLEANING WARNING Unplug the refrigerator first to prevent electric

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.

2. Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy

dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off

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.

• 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.• Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the inner wall. This may cause the inner surface to crack. 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

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

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

• For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear

• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in

an airtight container.

• 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. • Keep the door securely closed.

• Quality of foods should be fresh.

• Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them

• 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
