CHAPTER -1: GENERAL WARNINGS

No-Frost technology Your fridge freezer differs from many other standard fridge freezers. Other appliances may experience ice in the freezer compartment due to the opening of the doors and humidity caused by the food. In such appliances defrosting is required. They have to be turned off periodically, the food inside moved and the ice removed. Your "no frost" fridge freezer prevents such problems by evenly distributing in the fridge and freezer compartments through the use of a fan. This cools your food evenly and uniformly, preventing humidity and freezing.

CHAPTER -2: YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER

This gure has been drawn for information purposes to show the various parts and accessories in the appliance. Parts may vary according to the model of the appliance.

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 Your refrigerator automatically defrosts. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes through the water collection spout, ows into the vaporization container behind your refrigerator and evaporates by itself in there. Evaporating tray 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.

• If you are going to use the refrigerator with maximum freezing capacity:

• Place the foods that you want to freeze to the top basket of the freezer department without exceeding the freezing capacity of your refrigerator.

• While you use Super Freeze Mode , you mustn't storage an exist foozen food near the fresh foods that you want to freeze. Then enable the “Super Freeze” mode again. You may place your food next to the other frozen food after they are frozen (for at least 24 hours after the 2nd activation of the “Super Freeze” mode).

• 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.

• 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.EN -9-

• 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.

• 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.

CHAPTER -6: TROUBLESHOOTING

Check Warnings; If your fridge is not operating;

• Is there any electrical fault?

• Is the plug is placed properly in the socket outlet?

• Is the fuse of the socket outlet that the plug is plugged or the main fuse blown?

• Is the thermostat setting is on “ ” position?

• Is there any fault in the socket outlet? Examine this by plugging your fridge into a socket outlet which you are sure that is working. If your fridge is not cooling enough;

• Is the thermostat setting is on “1” position?

• Is the door of your fridge opened frequently and left open for a long while?

• Is the door of fridge closed properly?

• Did you put a dish or food on your fridge so that it contacts the rear wall of your fridge so as to prevent the air circulation?

• Is your fridge lled excessively?

• Is there adequate distance between your fridge and the rear and side walls?

• Is the ambient temperature within the range of values specied in the operating manual? If the food in your refrigerator compartment is over cooled

• Is the thermostat adjustment right?

• Are there many food recently put inside the freezer compartment? If so, your fridge may over cool the food inside the refrigerator compartment as it will operate longer to cool these food. If your fridge is operating too loudly; To maintain the set cooling level, compressor may be activated from time to time. Noises from your fridge at this time are normal and due to its function. When the required cooling level is reached, noises will be decreased automatically. If the noises persist;

• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?

• Is there anything behind your fridge?

• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Re-place the shelves and/or dishes if this is the case.

• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating? Normal Noises; Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:

• During automatic defrosting.

• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material). Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off. 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 ow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system. Water ow noise: Normal ow noise of water owing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting. Air Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in No-Frost fridge during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.EN -10-

CHAPTER -6: TROUBLESHOOTING

If humidity builds up inside the fridge;

• Has the food been properly packaged? Have the containers been well dried before they were put into the refrigerator?

• Are the doors of the refrigerator opened very frequently? When the door is opened, the humidity found in the air in the room enters the refrigerator. Especially if the humidity rate in the room is too high, the more frequently the door is opened the faster will be the humidication.

• It is normal to have water drops formed on the back wall following the automatic defrosting process. (In Static Models) If the doors are 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 gaskets broken or torn?

• Is your fridge on a level surface? If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm; Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal. IMPORTANT NOTES:

• The compressor protection thermal fuse will cutout after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilised. This is quite normal, and the fridge will restart after 4 or 5 minutes.

• 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.
