Frequently Asked Questions - SJ-IF90PB-SL SHARP

How do I set the temperature on my Sharp SJ-IF90PB-SL refrigerator?

Use the digital control panel located inside the refrigerator compartment. Press the Temperature Set button to cycle through desired settings. Recommended temperature is 3-5°C for the fridge and -18°C for the freezer.

Why is my refrigerator not cooling properly?

Check if the appliance is level, door seals are clean and intact, and there is adequate ventilation around the unit. Also ensure the condenser coils are clean and that the temperature setting is not accidentally set to a warm position.

How often should I clean the condenser coils?

It is recommended to clean the condenser coils every 6 to 12 months. Use a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush to remove dust and debris. This helps maintain energy efficiency and proper cooling performance.

Can I reverse the door swing on this refrigerator?

Yes, the SJ-IF90PB-SL is designed with reversible hinges. Refer to the user manual for step-by-step instructions on how to change the door opening direction. Basic tools such as a screwdriver may be required.

What does the 'No Frost' cooling system mean?

No Frost (also called Frost Free) automatically prevents ice build-up in the freezer compartment. A built-in fan circulates cold air, maintaining even temperature and eliminating the need for manual defrosting.

What is the energy efficiency class of this refrigerator?

The Sharp SJ-IF90PB-SL has an energy efficiency class of A++, which means it consumes less electricity compared to standard models. Annual energy consumption is approximately 300 kWh.

How can I reduce noise from my refrigerator?

Ensure the refrigerator is placed on a level, sturdy surface. Check that it is not touching walls or cabinets. Normal operation includes sounds like humming (compressor) and gurgling (refrigerant). If noise is excessive, verify that the back panel is secure.

What is the total capacity of this refrigerator?

The total gross capacity is 600 liters, with separate compartments for refrigeration (approx. 400 L) and freezing (approx. 200 L). This includes adjustable shelves and door bins.

How do I properly store food in this refrigerator?

Store perishable items like dairy and meat on the coldest shelves (lower part). Keep fruits and vegetables in the crisper drawers. Avoid overloading to ensure proper air circulation. Always cover food to reduce moisture loss.

What should I do if the door alarm sounds?

The door alarm activates when the refrigerator or freezer door is left open for an extended period (usually over 1 minute). Close the door firmly to stop the alarm. If the alarm persists, check the door gasket for damage or debris.

dimension.

- By keeping greater

space, the refrigerator may consume a less amount of power consumption.

- If use the refrigerator in the smaller space

dimension than figured, it may cause temperature rise in the unit, loud noise and failure.

- The space between the rear of the refrigerator and the wall should be 60mm or more, and less than 75mm.

If the space is wider than 75mm, you may get injured by touching compressor and its peripheral parts which are extremely hot during the operation.

Storing food

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.

Ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality to maximize the shelf life of perishable foods.

The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.

Fruit / Vegetables

Fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not seal) and placed in the Fruit and vegetable crisper to minimize moisture loss.

Advice for preventing dew or frost inside the refrigerator

- Keep the door securely closed. If the food falls down, it may cause a gap between the cabinet and the door.

Care and cleaning

Important

To prevent cracks on inside surfaces and plastic components, follow these tips.

- Wipe out food oil adhered to plastic parts.

- Some household chemicals may cause damage, so use only diluted washing-up liquid (soapy water).

- If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped off thoroughly, it may result in cracks of plastic parts.

Cleaning

■ Remove the accessories (e.g. shelves) from the cabinet and the door. Wash them by warm soapy dishwashing water. After that, rinse them in clean water and dry. (Only fruit and vegetable shelf is not removable.)

■ Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off soapy water thoroughly.

■ Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it gets dirty.

■ Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and warm soapy dishwashing water.

■ Wipe the control panel with a dry cloth.

Note

- Do not use heavy-duty cleansers or solvents (lacquer, paint, polishing powder, benzine, boiled water, etc.) which may cause damages.

- If you pull out the power plug once, wait 5 minutes at least before connecting the power plug again.

• The glass shelves weigh approximately 3 kg each. Hold them firmly when remove from the cabinet and carry.

- Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the inner wall. This may cause cracks to inner surface.

Before transporting

Wipe up water in the evaporating pan. Before wiping up the water, wait more than 1 hour after pulling out the power plug because refrigeration cycle equipment is extremely hot. (The evaporating pan is located on the rear of the product.)

Switching off your refrigerator

If the refrigerator needs to be switched off for an extended period, the following steps should be taken to reduce the growth of mold:

1. Remove all food.

2. Remove the power plug from the socket.

3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.

4. Keep all the doors open slightly for a few days to dry.

Defrosting

Defrosting is automatically operated by a unique energy saving system.

When the compartment light is blown

Contact the service agent approved by SHARP to replace the light. The light is not to be replaced other than by qualified service personnel.

Before you call for service

Before calling for service, check the following points.

Problem Solution

The outside of the cabinet is hot when touching.	It is normal. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew generation.
When there is refrigerator noise.	It is normal for the refrigerator to make the following sounds.• Loud noise is made by the compressor when its operation starts-- Sound becomes quieter after a while.• The compressor makes loud noise once a day.-- Operating sound is made 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, squeaking sound-- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during cooling.
Frost or dew appears inside or outside the refrigerator.	This may occur in one of the following cases. Use a wet cloth for wiping frost and a dry cloth for wiping dew.• When the ambient humidity is high.• When the door is frequently opened and closed.• When foods containing plenty of moisture are stored. (Wrapping is required.)
The foods in the refrigerator compartment freeze.	• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with refrigerator temperature control set at 0°C?-- Change the temperature control back to around 3°C.• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with freezer temperature control set at -21°C?-- Change the temperature control back to around -18°C.• If ambient temperature is low, foods may freeze even if the refrigerator compartment is set at 6°C.
Odors in the compartment.	• Wrapping is required for the foods with strong odors.• Deodorizing unit cannot remove all odors.
If door alarm does not stop.	• The alarm stops after close the door.

If you still require service

Refer to your nearest service agent approved by SHARP.
