given in this manual. Using the refrigerator for other purposes might be harmful to
persons or property.
9. This refrigerator is not suitable for the storage of materials requiring precise temperatures. Deterioration of these materials will
be dangerous.
10. Dust deposited on the power plug may
cause fire. Wipe it off carefully.
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.
13. The key should be kept out of the reach of
the children, and not in the vicinity of the appliance, in order to prevent the children from
being locked inside.
1. Do not touch the compressor unit or its
peripheral parts, as they become extremely hot during operation and the metal
edges may cause injury.
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

the defrost indicator, defrosted water may overflow the evaporating
pan. Pay due attention
to this regard.
• Be careful not to defrost when frozen food is
stored in the freezer compartment, otherwise it
will thaw. Therefore, it is recommended to perform defrosting when no frozen food is stored.

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
MILK
MILK
product.
• Eggs should be stored on 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 STORING FROZEN FOODS
• Quality of foods should be fresh.
• Food should be properly stored or covered and the air should be removed to seal tightly.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of frozen 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. 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 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, fizzing sound) --- Sound of refrigerant flowing in
pipes (sound may become louder from time
to time).
• 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.
