CARE AND CLEANING
Adjustable by turning each knob.
Door Alarm
When the refrigerator or freezer door is left open, the door
alarm will sound.
• The door alarm will sound in 1 minute after opening the
door and again after 1 minute (once in each case).
• If the door is left open for approx. 3 minutes, the alarm
will sound continuously.
Deodorising unit
A deodorising catalyst is installed on the routes of cold air.
No operation and cleaning required.
Hints when making ice
Do not over fill the Ice cube trays;
1
otherwise the ice cubes will be
joined together when frozen.
When the ice cubes are made, turn
2
the lever clockwise to empty the ice
into the Ice cube box.
NOTE
To prevent damage to the Ice cube box,
do not make ice in the Ice cube box.
Plasmacluster
The Plasmacluster automatically starts operating when
the refrigerator is powered on.
Notes about Plasmacluster operation
The ionizer inside your refrigerator releases clusters of
ions, which are collective masses of positive and negative
ions, into the refrigerator compartment. These ion clusters
inactivate airborne mold fungus.
• There may be a slight odor in the refrigerator. This is the
smell of ozone generated by the ionizer. The amount of
ozone is minimal, and quickly decomposes in the
refrigerator.
WARNING
■ Unplug the refrigerator first to prevent electric
shock.
■ Do not splash water directly on the outer cabinet
or the interior. This may lead to rusting and
deterioration of the electrical insulation.
IMPORTANT
To prevent cracking on inside surfaces and plastic
components, follow these tips.
• Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components.
• Some household chemicals may cause damage, so use
only diluted washing-up liquid (soapy water).
• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped
off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result.
• Wipe any spills from the refrigerator immediately as acid
or alkaline in the food can cause cracking and staining of
plastic parts.
Remove the accessories e.g. shelves from the cabinet
1
and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing
water; rinse in clean water and dry.
(Only fruit and vegetable shelf is not removable.)
Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy
2
dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off
soapy water.
Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.
3
Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and
4
warm soapy dishwashing water.
NOTE
• Do not use hot water, household cleaning powders, creams
or spray-on cleaning products, or any other cleaning
products such as mineral turpentine, methylated spirits,
thinners, petrol etc. These may damage your refrigerator
and may void any warranty.
• If the power supply is disconnected, please wait for at least
5 minutes before re-connecting power.
• The glass shelves weigh approximately 2 kg each. Hold
firmly when removing from the cabinet or carrying.
• Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the inner
wall. This may cause the inner surface to crack.
Defrosting
Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving
system.
When the compartment light is blown
Contact the service agent approved by SHARP to request
a replacement compartment light. The compartment light
is not to be removed other than by qualified service
personnel.
Switching off your refrigerator
If the refrigerator needs to be switched off for an extended
period, the following steps should be taken to reduce the
symptom of mould:
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the power point.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly for
air circulation.

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To
STORING FOOD
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
maximise the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure
that the food is the freshest possible quality. The following
is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in
an airtight container.
• To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should
be loosely enclosed in a plastic material (e.g. wrap,
bags) and place in the fruit and vegetable crisper.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg tray.
• 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.
• Keep the door securely closed.
Before you call for service, check the following points.
Problem Solution
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 sealed,
sealed tightly or covered.
• Evenly place the food in the freezer.
• Label bags or containers to keep an
inventory of frozen food.
IN
OUT
Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet.
This may lead to the food freezing.
The outside of a cabinet is hot when
touched.
When there is refrigerator noise. It is normal for the refrigerator to produce the following sounds.
Frosting or condensation generation
occurs inside or outside the
refrigerator.
The foods in the refrigerator
compartment freeze.
Noticeable odours. • Wrapping is required for food with strong odours.
Door alarm does not stop. • If the door alarm does not stop after closing all doors, it is a defect.
This is normal. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent condensation
generation.
• 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).
• Cracking or crunching sound, squeaking sound
--- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal
parts during cooling.
This may occur in one of the following cases. Use a wet cloth for wiping frost
and a dry cloth for wiping condensation.
• When the ambient humidity is high.
• When the door is frequently opened and closed.
• When food containing plenty of moisture is stored. (Wrapping is required.)
• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with temp. control set at MAX?
• Low ambient temperature may cause food to freeze even if refrigerator temp.
control is set to MIN.
• Deodorising unit cannot remove all of the odours.
Contact the Sharp service center for service.
Method of stopping the door alarm temporarily.
Adjust both temp.control knobs at the same time as following steps.
