• It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10^ .
• The temperature setting should be set by taking into consideration how often the fridge door is opened and closed, how much food is stored in the fridge and the environment in which and the positioning of the appliance.

CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE

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 difficult 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 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.

Cleaning

Before cleaning your fridge, turn your mains supply off and remove the plug from the socket.
- Do not wash your fridge by pouring water on to it.
- Use a warm, soapy cloth or sponge to wipe the interior and exterior of your fridge.
- Carefully remove all shelves and drawers by sliding upwards or outwards and clean with soapy water. Do not wash in a washing machine or dishwasher.
- Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all purpose cleaning agents to clean your fridge. This may cause damage to the plastic surfaces and other components with the chemicals they contain.
- Clean the condenser at the back of your fridge at least once a year with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.

Make sure that your fridge is unplugged while cleaning.

Defrosting

• 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.

CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE

• 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 fish, 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.

CHAPTER -5: DOOR REVERSAL

Repositioning the door

• It depends on which fridge 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

CheckWarnings;

Your fridge warns you if the temperatures for cooler is in improper levels or when a problem occurs in the appliance. Warning codes are displayed in the Cooler Indicators.

ERROR TYPE ERROR TYPE WHY WHAT TO DO
SR	"Failure Warning"	There is/are some part(s) Out of order or there is a failure in cooling process	Contact the Sharp helpdesk as soon as possible.
LC	"Refrigerator comp. Not Cold enough"	Ideal temperature for Ref. Compartment is +4 °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 failure is off.
LP	"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 flashes "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.

CheckWarnings;

Your fridge warns you if the temperatures for cooler departments are in improper levels or when a problem occurs in the appliance. Warning codes are displayed in the cooler Department Indicators. Warning codes appear in the cooler Compartment Setting Displays.

Also a warning sound are heard.

Showing code and buzzer will continue until you pushes SET or MODE button. When you push one of these buttons, buzzer will stop. "LC" warning will be disappear in 15 minutes. You don't have to call your service, this condition may appear due to reasons above. You can keep storing your foods in your fridge. If "LC" warning will not disappear in an hour after pressing the button, you can call your service.

If your fridge is operating too loudly;

Compressor noise

Normal motor noise. This noise means that the compressor operates normally Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.

Bubbling noise and splash:

This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.

Air Blow Noise:

Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in fridge during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.

CHAPTER -6: TROUBLESHOOTING

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 specified 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) unplug it. Clean your fridge according to chapter cleaning and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
  If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult an authorised service provider.

Conformity Information

• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient tem-perature within the 16^ - 38^ range.
  The appliance is designed in compliance with the IEC60335-1 / IEC60335-2-24, 2004/108/EC standards.

CHAPTER -7: TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
