5 Coldest

• 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).

5(Coldest)

For keeping foods fresher tasting.
When the refrigerator does not provide sufficient cooling.

3(MED)

For normal operation.

1(MIN)

When the refrigerator provides excessive cooling.

NOTE:

• For hot summer conditions (about over
35°C ambient temperature), set your
FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL to less
colder than 4(MED) towards 1(MIN).
This is because 7(MAX) setting may re­sult in too little air flow to the refrigerator
compartment, causing too warm tem­perature in the refrigerator compartment.
And set your REFRIGERATOR TEMP.
CONTROL to colder than 3(MED).

(WINTER SEASON)

MED MAX

• 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).

HINTS WHEN MAKING ICE

Lever

1.Do not over fill the Ice cube trays; otherwise the ice cubes will be joined to-

gether when frozen.

2.When the ice cubes are made, turn the lever clockwise to empty the ice into Ice
cube box.

NOTE:

To prevent damage to the Ice cube box, do not make ice in the Ice cube
box or pour oil into it.

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
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 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

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

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. Wash 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 surface.

all doors open.

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).

6

• 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.
