WARNING

CAUTION

1. This refrigerator is airtight. TO PREVENT FAT AL 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.
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 outlet attachment is loose, as they may cause electric shock or fire.
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.

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.
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.

INSTALLATION

12. The refrigeration system behind and in-
side 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.
1.To ensure adequate ventilation for your refrig­erator, it is recommended to provide space of 6cm on both sides and at the back, and space of 30cm above the refrigerator. Insufficient spacing will decrease the cooling efficiency, resulting in unnecessary consumption of elec­tricity.

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.

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.
Evaporating pan
How to remove
Pull the Evaporating pan toward yourself.
How to set

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.
