WARNING

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. If any areas adjacent to electrical components have to
be cleaned, unplug the refrigerator first to prevent elec­tric shock, then wipe the area with a dry cloth.

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

CAUTION

1. Do not touch the compressor unit, as it can become
extremely hot during operation.

2. 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.

3. Avoid removing food from the freezer with your bare
hands. Directly touching products stored at sub-zero tem­peratures can result in frostbite.

4. 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.

5. Do not place bottles in the freezer as they may crack
when frozen.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

7. 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.

8. This refrigerator is not suitable for the storage of mate­rials requiring precise temperatures. Deterioration of
these materials will be dangerous.

9. Dust deposited on the power plug may cause fire. Wipe
it off carefully.

10. When replacing the lamp bulb, unplug the refrigerator
first to prevent electric shock.

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.

10.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.

11. 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.

12. The refrigeration system behind and inside the refrig­erator contains refrigerant. If this system is punctured it
could result in serious damage to your refrigerator, there­fore do not allow any sharp objects to come into contact
with the refrigeration system.

13. Should the flexible supply cord be damaged, it must be
replaced by service agent approved by SHARP as a
special cord is required.

14. In case of gas leak, ventilate the area by opening a win­dow, etc. Do not touch the refrigerator or the power
outlet.

15. Do not place heavy or easily broken objects on top of
the refrigerator. Objects may fall when opening or clos­ing the refrigerator, causing injury.

16. Do not place objects containing liquid on top of the re­frigerator. Spillage may cause electric shock or fire.

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

18. This refrigerator is not intended for use by young chil­dren or infirm persons without supervision. Young chil­dren should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the refrigerator.
