SJ-F75PC-SL, SJ-F75PC-WH

1. This refrigerator is airtight. TO PREVENT FATAL ACCIDENTS TO CHILDREN, please completely remove the door prior to discarding the refrigerator.
2. Highly volatile and inflammable materials such as ether, petrol, propane gas, adhesive agents and pure alcohol etc. are liable to explode. Do not store these materials in the refrigerator.
3. To prevent damage to the outer cabinet, avoid contact with lacquer, and paint, etc.
4. When cleaning your refrigerator, do not splash water directly on the outer cabinet or the interior. This may lead to rusting and deterioration of the electrical insulation.
5. When cleaning any areas adjacent to electrical components, unplug the refrigerator first to prevent electric shock.

6. Should electrical components be accidentally immersed in water, unplug the refrigerator, dry the parts and contact your nearest service agent approved by SHARP.

7. When disconnecting the power plug, do not touch the pin of plug. This may cause electric shock.

8. This refrigerator is designed solely for the purpose of storing foodstuff for domestic use in accordance with the instructions given in this manual. Using the refrigerator for other purposes might be harmful to persons or property.
9. This refrigerator is not suitable for the storage of materials requiring precise temperatures. Deterioration of these materials will be dangerous.
10. Dust deposited on the power plug may cause fire. Wipe it off carefully.
11. Do not attempt to change or modify this refrigerator. This may result in fire, electric shock or injury.
12. Information regarding disposal of the appliance Flammable insulation blowing gases should be disposed appropriately. Take the cabinet and doors to a recycling plant for flammable insulation blowing gases.

CAUTION

1. If the power supply is accidentally disconnected, please wait for at least 5 minutes before re-connecting the power, as back pressure in the compressor may trip the overload relay.
2. Do not touch foods or metal containers in the freezer compartment with your wet hands. This may cause frostbite.
3. To prevent accidental power disconnection, plug the refrigerator directly to the source. Do not use a double adaptor as loss of power could lead to the spoiling of the stored food.
4. Do not place bottles in the freezer as they may crack when frozen.
5. Keep the door securely closed. If the door is left ajar, the controlled inner temperature will rise, resulting in food spoilage and increase in electricity costs.
6. Do not install the refrigerator in a damp or wet location as this may cause damage to the insulation and a leak. Condensation may also build on the outer cabinet and cause rust.
7. When installing or moving the refrigerator, make sure that you do not nip or kink the power cord. Damage of the power cord may cause electric shock or fire.
8. Do not use this refrigerator when the power cord or plug is damaged, or the outlet attachment is loose, as they may cause electric shock or fire.

9. Disconnect from the mains electricity supply by removing the mains plug from the electricity supply socket. Do not remove by pulling the mains lead. This may cause electric shock or fire.

10. Make sure that you leave adequate ventilation space around the refrigerator to prevent the compressor from overheating and stopping. Please follow the instructions given for installation.

DEODORIZING UNIT

A built-in unit which requires no manual operation because it automatically starts operating when the refrigerator is powered on.

DEFROSTING

• Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving system. Whereby the defrost cycle start time is proportional to the running time of your refrigerator compressor, i. e., the less time the refrigerator compressor operates (during the winter season or you're away on holidays), the longer the time between each defrost cycle.
• The defrost water collects in the evaporating pan, where it is evaporated by the heat of the compressor, etc.
• The evaporating pan does not require cleaning or maintenance.

STORING FOOD

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.

To maximize the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality. The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.

Fruit / Vegetables

To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not seal) and place in the Vegetable crisper or the Fruit case. Those fruits and vegetables with thick skins e.g. oranges do not require wrapping.

Dairy Products & Eggs

• Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer packaging which informs the recommended temperature and shelf life of the product.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.

Meats / Fish / Poultry

• Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic wrap.
• For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear of the shelves.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in an airtight container.

NOTE:

• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling air to circulate efficiently.
• Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot foods increases the temperature in the unit and increases the risk of food spoilage.
• Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating circuit with foods or containers; otherwise the foods will not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
• Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.

FOR BEST FREEZING

• Quality of foods should be fresh.
- Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them quickly.
- Food should be properly stored or covered and the air should be removed to seal tightly.
• Evenly place the food in the freezer.
- Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing food.

CARE AND CLEANING

Some household cleaning chemicals may affect the inside surfaces and plastic shelves resulting in splitting or cracks occurring.

When cleaning all plastic parts inside this refrigerator, only use diluted dishwashing liquid (soapy water). Make sure that all plastic parts are thoroughly rinsed with water after cleaning.

The alkaline detergent affects on the aluminum section of the door handle, becomes cause of tarnish.

1. Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing water; rinse in clean water and dry.
2. Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off soapy water.
3. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.
4. Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and warm soapy dishwashing water.
5. Wipe the control panel with the dry cloth.

NOTE:

• Do not use polishing powder, benzine, hot water etc.
• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result.
• Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components as they can cause cracking of the plastic surface.
• The glass shelves weigh approximately 3 kg each. Hold firmly when removing from the cabinet or carrying.
• When dropped the juice and the like near the control panel, wipe off directly. It becomes cause of failure of the control panel.

When the compartment light is blown

Contact the Sharp Service Center to request a replacement compartment bulb. The compartment bulb is not to be removed other than by qualified service personnel.

Switching off your refrigerator

If you switch your refrigerator off when you are going away for an extended period, remove all food, clean the interior thoroughly. Remove the power cord plug from the power socket and leave all doors open.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

Before you call for service, check the following points.

IT IS NORMAL for the refrigerator to produce the following sounds.

• Loud noise produced by the compressor when operation starts --- Sound becomes quieter after a while.
• Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor --- Operating sound produced immediately after automatic defrost operation.

• Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound) --- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may become louder from time to time).

• Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during cooling.

• Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of internal parts.

IT IS NORMAL that the outside of a cabinet may be hot when touched. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew generation.

IF YOU STILL REQUIRE SERVICE

Refer to your nearest service agent approved by SHARP.
