Accepted Answer

To remove the glass shelves from your SHARP SJ-F70 PSSL, follow these steps:

Removal Steps

Firmly support the shelf - Use both hands to hold each glass shelf, which weighs about 3 kg. Never handle a shelf with one hand.
Lift the shelf vertically - Gently and directly lift the shelf upwards, freeing it from the supports located on the inner walls of the refrigerator.

Question 2

Where are the ventilation openings of the refrigerator located?

Accepted Answer

The SHARP SJ-340N refrigerator is a standalone unit that requires sufficient ventilation space all around to operate correctly. According to the manual, it is important to maintain adequate airflow around the appliance to prevent overheating and compressor shutdown.

The air circulation points (air intake and exhaust) must remain clear and unobstructed. The manual contains installation diagrams that indicate the minimum ventilation space that must be maintained around the appliance to preserve its cooling capacity.

Insufficient ventilation creates a risk of malfunction. Therefore, ensure that the space around the refrigerator is well-ventilated, especially at the back and on the sides, as illustrated in the installation diagrams of the complete manual (92 pages).
