CHAPTER -1: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using your Fridge Freezer

• Before setting up your fridge freezer, check for any visible damage. Do not install or use your fridge freezer if it is damaged

• When using your fridge freezer for the rst time, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This will allow e󰀩cient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.

• You may notice a light odour when using your fridge freezer for the rst time. This is perfectly normal and will fade away as the fridge starts to cool. NO FROST technology Di󰀨ers 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 o󰀨 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. Blue arrows: Blow cold air Red arrows: Returning hot air

• We recommend that you wipe all shelving and trays with a cloth soaked in warm water mixed with a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda before use. After cleaning rinse with warm water and dry.

• Install using the plastic distance guides, which can be found at the rear of the appliance. Turn 90 degrees (as shown in the diagram). This will keep the condenser from touching the wall.

• Refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free distance not exceeding 75 mm.

9. Do not pull the vacuum bag before vacuuming is completed.

10. Do not let go of the vacuum bag during the vacuum process. Hold the bag until the process is complete.EN -19-

Guidelines for Food Safety Recommendations for food safety are listed below.

1. Chemical reactions in the food to air, temperature, moisture as well as enzyme actions, growth of microorganisms

or contamination from insects will cause food spoilage.

2. One of the reasons for the food to lose its nutritional value and freshness is oxygen in the air. Whilst food is not

protected by moisture-proof packagings, it is possible for air to encourage the growth of many micro-organisms. The rate of growth depends on the internal and external humidication of the food.

3. Clostridium botulinum is one of the species that can grow in an anaerobic environment. Conditions for growth are

foods lacking acid, low oxygen environment.

4. Frozen, dried, high in acid, salt or sugar foods are resistant to botulinum. Non-acidic foods which include meat,

seafood, lye-cured olives, poultry, sh, eggs and mushrooms; low-acid foods which are mostly vegetables; medium-acid foods include overripe tomatoes, onions, chili peppers, gs and cucumbers are prone to being infected by botulinum.

5. Foods most susceptible to botulinum should be refrigerated for short term and frozen for long-term storage, and

consumed immediately after heating.

6. Since the micro-organisms can grow in a low oxygen environment, foods should be stored at low temperatures

7. It is recommended that you store your deli produce and dried fruits in the chiller compartment.

Accessories The Icematic (In some models)

• Pull the lever towards you and remove the ice maker tray

• Fill with water to the marked level

• Hold the left end of the lever and set the ice-tray on the icebox

• When ice cubes have formed, twist the lever to drop the ice cubes into the icebox. Note: Do not ll the icebox with water in order to make ice. It can be broken. The movement of the ice maker may be di󰀩cult while the refrigerator is running. In such a case should be cleaned by removing the glass shelves. Vegetable Bowl and Chiller (Breakfast) Zero Degree Zone / Breakfast This compartment can be used as a chill drawer, where food can be kept at 0°C. Frozen food can be kept in this compartment to defrost. Meat and/or clean sh (in plastic bags or packets), which will be consumed within 1 to 2 days, can also be stored here. Water freezes at 0°C, but food containing salt or sugar freezes at colder temperatures. Do not put food to be frozen or iceboxes in this compartment. Chill drawer / Breakfast Crispers Crisper air ow adjustment If the salad crispers are full turn the knob (located between the chiller and the crisper) to the open position. This will increase the air ow and ensure food stays fresher for longer.

CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Refrigerator Compartment For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the cooler compartment to +4 or +6

• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.

• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.

• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.

• We recommend that meat and clean sh are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.

• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.

• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.

• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being a󰀨ected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, g etc.).

• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.

• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.

• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.

• Do not put food in front of the air ow passage.

• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.

• For normal working conditions, it will be su󰀩cient to adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.

• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.

• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.

• Meat, sh, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)

• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.

• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors. Freezer Compartment For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the freezer compartment to -18 or -20

• The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen food, and for making ice cubes.

• If the freezer door has been left open for a long time or not closed properly, frost will form and can prevent e󰀩cient air circulation. To resolve this, unplug the freezer and wait for it to defrost. Clean the freezer once it has fully defrosted.

• Remove baskets, covers, and so on, to increase the storage volume of freezer.

• The freezer volume stated on the label is the volume without baskets, covers, and so on. Cleaning

• Beforecleaningyourfridgefreezer,turnyourmainssupplyoandremovetheplugfromthesocket.

• Do not wash your fridge freezer by pouring water on to it.

• Use a warm, soapy cloth or sponge to wipe the interior and exterior of your fridge freezer.

• 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 freezer. 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 freezer at least once a year with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Makesurethatyourfridgeisunpluggedwhilecleaning. Cleaning evaporation bowl Your fridge defrosts automatically. Water produced by defrosting ows to the evaporating container passing through the water collecting groove, and vaporizes here by itself. 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 -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZEREN -22- IMPORTANT

• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may pose a danger to your health and cause problems such as food poisoning.

• Do not put warm food in the deep freeze compartment until it has completely cooled. It will thaw already frozen food, which may then rot.

• When purchasing frozen food, make sure it has been stored under appropriate conditions and the packaging is not damaged.

• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity or if it has a foul odour. The food may not have been stored correctly and may have gone rotten.

• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the 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 freezer. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated. Remove frozen food from the freezer the day before consumption, and put in the bottom compartment of the refrigerator. This helps reduce the temperature in the refrigerator, which in turn saves energy. If the frozen food defrosts in an open area, energy loss will occur.

Errors Your fridge will warn you if the temperatures for the cooler and freezer are at improper levels or if a problem occurs with the appliance. Warning codes are displayed in the freezer and cooler indicators. ERROR TYPE MEANING WHY WHAT TO DO and audible warning "Failure" Warning There is/are some part(s) out of order or there is a failure in the cooling process. Call a service agent for assistance as soon as possible.

Freezer compartment is not cold enough This warning especially appears if there has been a power failure for a long period or when the refrigerator is operated for the rst time.

1. Use food within a short time

period. Do not freeze foods that has thawed.

2. Set the freezer temperature to

colder values or set the Super Freeze until the compartment gets to normal temperature.

3. Do not put fresh food in the

appliance until the fault has cleared. Refrigerator compartment is not cold enough This warning especially appears if there has been a power failure for a long period or when the refrigerator is operated for the rst time. Ideal temperature for the refrigerator compartment is +4

If you see this warning, your foods are at risk of spoiling.

1. Set the refrigerator temperature

to colder values or set the Super Cooling mode until the compartment reaches normal temperature.

2. Open the door as little as

possible until the fault clears. Refrigerator compartment too cold The food will start to freeze because the temperature is too cold.

1. Check if the Super Cooling

mode is switched on.

2. Decrease the refrigerator

temperature values. "Low voltage" Warning This is seen when the power supply becomes lower than 170 V. This not a failure. This prevents any damage to the compressor. This warning will clear after the voltage reaches the required level.EN -23- If you are experiencing a problem with your refrigerator, please check the following before contacting the after-sales service. Your refrigerator does not operate Check if:

• Your fridge is plugged in and switched on

• Is the temperature adjustment right?

• The socket is faulty. To check this, plug another working appliance into the same socket. Your refrigerator is performing poorly Check if:

• The appliance is overloaded

• The doors are closed properly

• There is any dust on the condenser

• There is an adequate distance between the appliance and surrounding walls If your fridge is operating too loudly; To maintain the set cooling level, the 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 decrease 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 items placed on your fridge vibrating? Your refrigerator is operating noisily The following noises can be heard during normal operation of the appliance. 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/o󰀨. Compressor noise (Normal motor noise): This noise means that the compressor operates normally. The 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 a No-Frost fridge during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air. There is a build-up of humidity inside the fridge Check if:

• All food is packed properly. Containers must be dry before being placed in the fridge.

• The fridge doors are opened frequently. Humidity of the room will enter the fridge each time the doors are opened. Humidity increases faster if the doors are opened frequently, especially if the humidity of the room is high.

• There is a build-up of water droplets on the rear wall. This is normal after automatic defrosting (in Static Models). The doors are not opening or closing properly Check if:

• There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing

• The door compartments, shelves and drawers are placed properly

• The door gaskets are broken or torn

• Your fridge is level. 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 cut out 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) unplug it. Clean your fridge according to

1. Always allow foodstu󰀨s to cool before storing in the appliance.

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