• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator 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. Replacing LED Lighting If your fridge has LED lighting contact the Sharp help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel only. 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. The coldest area is below this level. As these shelves are removable, make sure they are always at the same level with these zone limits described on the stickers, in order to guarantee temperatures in this area. OKEN -9-

• 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. Repositioning the door

C. If you see this warning your foods have risk of spoiling.

1. Set the refrigerator temperature to

colder values or set the super cooling mode until the compartment gets to normal temperature.

2. Do not open the door much until this

"Low voltage Warning" When the power supply gets lower than 170 V the appliance gets to steady position. This not a failure. This prevents any damages on the compressor. This warning will off after the voltage gets required level Temperature Warning: The temperature display ashes “LC” and an audible warning sounds, when the temperature in the cooler compartment is too warm. A rise in the temperature may be caused by;

• Frequent door opening for long periods of time

• Loading with large quantities of warm foods

• High ambient temperature

• An error with the appliances. Check Warnings; Your fridge warns you if the temperatures for cooler departments are in improper levels or when a problem occurs in the appliance.

2. Thaw food in the fridge compartment, this helps save energy.

If humidity builds up inside the cooler;

• Are all food packed properly? Are the containers dried before placing them in the fridge?

• Is the ridge door opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the fridge when the doors are opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the doors more frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.

• Building up of water drops on the rear wall after automatic defrosting is normal. (in Static Models) If the door is not opened and closed properly;

• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?

• Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?

• Are door joints broken or torn?

• Is your fridge on a level surface? 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.
