Temperature indicator In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a temperature indicator located in the coldest area. To better store the food in your refrigerator, especially in the coldest area, make sure the message “OK” appears on the temperature indicator. If « OK » does not appear, this means temperature has not been set properly It may be difcult to see the indicator, make sure it is properly lit.Each time the temperature setting device is changed, wait for the stabilisation of the temperature inside the appliance before proceeding, if necessary, with a new temperature setting. Please change the position of the temperature setting device progressively and wait at least 12 hours before starting a new check and potential change. NOTE: Following repeated openings (or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh food into the appliance, it is normal for the indication “OK” not to appear in the temperature setting indicator. If there is an abnormal build up of ice crystals of ice crystals (bottom wall of the appliance) on the refrigerator compartment, evaporator (overloaded appliance, high room temperature, frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a lower position until compressor off periods are obtained again. Store food in the coldest area of the refrigerator. Your foods will be better stored if you put them in the most appropriate cooling area. The coldest area is just above the crisper. The following symbol indicates the coldest area of your refrigerator. To be sure to have a low temperature in this area, make sure the shelf is located at the level of this symbol, as shown in the illustration. The upper limit of the coldest area is indicated by the lower side of the sticker (head of the arrow). The coldest area upper shelf must be at the same level with the arrow head.

CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER

Defrosting Refrigerator compartment;

• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation ; water is collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.

• The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator. Freezer compartment; Frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically. (Use the plastic scraper provided.) The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the same way as the refrigerator at least twice a year. For this;

• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to “5” position to freeze the foods completely.

• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.

• Set thermostat knob to position “•” or unplug the unit; leave the door open until completely defrosted.

• To accelerate the defrosting process one or more basins of warm water can be placed in the freezer compartment.

• Dry the inside of the unit carefully and set the thermostat knob to MAX position. Replacing the light bulb To replace the bulb in freezer and fridge departments;

thermostat to its original position. Replacing LED Lighting If your fridge freezer has LED lighting contact the Sharp help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel only.

CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE

Refrigerator compartment

• To reduce frost build up never place liquids with unsealed containers in the fridge compartment.

• Allow warn or hot food to cool down before storing. This helps reduce power consumption.

• To avoid frost buildup ensure that nothing is stored touching the back wall.

• The coldest area of the refrigerator is at the bottom. We recommend to use this area to store food that will perish easily, such as sh, ready meals, baked goods or dairy products. The warmest area is the top shelf of the door. We recommend you store butter or cheese here. Freezer compartment

• Use the freezer to store frozen foods for long periods of time and make ice cubes.

• To freeze fresh food - ensure that as much of the surface of food to be frozen is in contact with the cooling surface.

• Do not put fresh food on either side of frozen food as it can thaw it.

• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,sh and mincemeat),divide into portion sizes.

• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to consume them in a short period of time.

• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.EN -8-

CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE

• The instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully and if no information is provided food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.

• When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact.

• Frozen foods should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be stored in the freezer as soon as possible.

• If a package of frozen food shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.

• The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated. That; If you decide to open the freezer door again immediately after closing, it may be difcult to re-open. This is normal and after the freezer has reached an equilibrium condition the door will open easily. Important note:

• Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked after being thawed they must NEVER be re-frozen.

• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period. Therefore, only add a small amount of spice if planning to freeze, or the desired spice should be added after the food has been thawed.

• The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.

• The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.

• It depends on which fridge freezer you have as to whether it is possible the reverse the doors.

• It is not possible where handles are attached at the front of the appliance.

• If your model does not have handles it is possible to reverse the doors, but this needs to be completed by authorised personnel. Please call Sharp service.

CHAPTER -6: TROUBLESHOOTING

If your fridge freezer is not operating as expected, there may be a simple solution. If your refrigerator is not working. Check that ;

• It is switched on at the mains ,

• You have not overloaded the appliance ,

• The doors are closed perfectly ,

• There is no dust on the condenser ,

• There is enough space at the rear and side walls. Your fridge freezer is too noisy. The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise(bubbling sound) even when the compressor is not running. Do not worry this is quite normal. If these sounds are different check that ; The appliance is well levelled ,

• Nothing is touching the rear. If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator ; Check that ; The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged insert a space please (Use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole) Recommendations

• In instances of a power cut unplug the appliance. This prevents damage to the compressor. You should delay plugging in 5 – 10 minutes after you regain power supply. This will avoid damage to components.

• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets or ice may occur on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor in specied intervals. This is normal. There is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless the ice is excessive.

• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), put the thermostat to “•” position. After defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door open to prevent humidity and odor build up.EN -9-
