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. Do not attempt to change or modify this refrigerator.
This may result in fire, electric shock or injury.
11. Information regarding disposal of the appliance
Flammable insulation blowing gases should be disposed appropriately. Take the cabinet and doors to a

• 5 (Coldest) setting will result in colder temperature in the both (refrigerator and freezer) compartments.
• 1 (MIN) setting will result in warmer temperature in the both (refrigerator
and freezer) compartments.
• If the refrigerator is operated for a long time with REFRIGERATOR TEMP .
CONTROL set at 5 (Coldest), foods stored in the refrigerator compartment may also freeze.
• Low ambient temperature may cause placed foods to freeze even if REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL is set to 1 (MIN).
• The freezer compartment may not cool sufficiently when leaving REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL as 1 (MIN) for an extensive period. To cool
the freezer compartment properly, set REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL closer to 5 (Coldest).

• In a cold kitchen (about under 10°C ambient temperature), set your FREEZER
TEMP . CONTROL to 7(MAX) to avoid too
warm temperature in the freezer compartment. This is because the compressor operation is too short in winter, and not
enough cold air is provided to the freezer
compartment. And if the foods in the refrigerator compartment freeze, you must
set REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL
to less colder setting towards 1(MIN).

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.

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
food storage.
longer
Fruit / Vegetables
T o 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 Fruit and vegetable crisper. 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.
IN
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.
OUT
CARE AND CLEANING

WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
Before you call for service, check the following point.
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).
4
• 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.
Replace the lamp bulb with same type : base E12,
MAX 10W. Make sure that the rated voltage and wattage of the lamp bulb are correct when replacing.
(Check the label near the bulb.) When replacing the
lamp bulb, unplug the refrigerator first to prevent electric shock.
