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.
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.
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

DEFROSTING
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
When frost deposits (more than 5mm high) in the
freezer, the cooling effect is sacrificed. Defrost earlier in the following procedure.
While the frost is soft and slight;
Scrape off with the furnished defrosting spatula without stopping the operation.
M
When the frost is iced;
1.Empty the freezer by removing
all foods, Freezer shelf and Ice
cube trays.
2.Turn the knob to OFF position,
and open the freezer door.
3.Scrape off with the spatula, and wipe the water
collected in the bottom with cloth. Because of
the natural defrosting system, it may take somewhat a long time depending on the ambient temperature.
The front edge of the freezer compartment ceiling may be covered with more frost than on other
parts. This is normal because chilly air is normally circulated by convection in the freezer compartment.

4.After defrosting, return the knob to the original
position.
NOTE
• Once the knob is set to OFF position, do not return
to other position immediately, otherwise the compressor may suffer immoderate load. Wait at least
five minutes before turning.
• Do not attempt to defrost the evaporator by force,
using knife or the like. Otherwise the evaporator
surface may be damaged or cracked, which may
cause leakage of refrigerant and trouble of the refrigerator.
REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
The evaporator in the refrigerator does not require
defrosting operation. Whenever the compressor is
stopped by the thermostat, the refrigerator is naturally defrosted, and water is discharged in the Evaporating pan provided above the compressor and is
evaporated by the compressor heat.

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
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.
MILK
MILK
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg tray
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.
6
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.
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.
1.Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet and door. W ash 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.Whenever the refrigerator is moved to clean or repositioned, the Evaporating pan should be
removed and cleaned.
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 sur-
face.

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.
• Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizz-
ing sound) --- Sound of refrigerant flowing in
pipes (sound may become louder from time
to time).
• Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound pro-
duced by expansion and contraction of inner
walls and internal parts during cooling.
• Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by ex-
pansion 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.
