Thank you for buying this SHARP product. Before using your SHARP refrigerator, please read this operation manual to
ensure that you gain the maximum benefit from it.

WARNING

■ Highly volatile and flammable 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.

■ Dust deposited on the power plug may cause fire. Wipe

it off carefully.

■ Do not attempt to change or modify this refrigerator. This

may result in fire, electric shock or injury.

■ Ensure that the refrigerator presents no danger to

children whilst being stored for disposal. (e.g. remove
the door to prevent child entrapment.)

■ This refrigerator should be disposed of appropriately.

Take the refrigerator to a recycling plant for flammable
insulation blowing gases.

CAUTION

■ Attention about Power supply:

• Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.

• Make sure that the power cord has not been damaged

during installation or moving. If the power plug or cord
is loose, do not insert the power plug. There is a risk
of electric shock or fire.

• 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.

• Should the flexible supply cord be damaged, it must
be replaced by service agent approved by SHARP as
a special cord is required.

■ Do not touch the compressor unit or its peripheral parts,

as they become extremely hot during operation and the
metal edges may cause injury.

■ Do not touch foods or metal containers in the freezer

compartment with your wet hands. This may cause
frostbite.

■ Do not place bottled and canned drinks in the freezer as

they may crack when frozen.

■ The refrigeration system behind and inside 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.

■ In case of gas leak, ventilate the area by opening a

window, etc. Do not touch the refrigerator or the power
outlet.

INSTALLATION

WARNING

■ Do not install the refrigerator in a damp or wet

location as this may cause damage to the
insulation. Condensation may also build on the
outer cabinet and cause rust.

Keep adequate ventilation space around the

1

refrigerator.

The figure shows the minimum required space for

•

installing the refrigerator. The amount of space around
the refrigerator affects the amount of power
consumption.

• Insufficient spacing will decrease cooling efficiency
and increase energy consumption.
This may reduce the life of the unit and void warranty.

Using the two front adjustable feet, ensure that the

2

refrigerator is positioned firmly and level on the floor.
Remove the 2 screws of the cabinet lower part, and

3

use these to fit the foot covers. (supplied inside the
refrigerator compartment)

Hybrid cooling panel (Aluminium panel)

The panel is cooled from the rear, thus indirectly cooling
the refrigerator compartment. In this way, food is
refrigerated gently, without exposing it to cold air flow.

Half shelf

The position of the shelf can be arranged according to the
size of the food items to be stored.

Tube stand

Prevents bottles etc. from falling.
Tube-type food products can also be
stored inside.

Deodorising unit

(In the refrigerator

compartment)

A deodorising catalyst is installed on the routes of cold air.
No operation and cleaning required.

Reversible door

The door can be modified to open from the left with an optional twin kit SJ-L55CRD. For details of the kit and modification
work, please contact a SHARP approved service centre.

CAUTION SHARP recommends that all modification work and a quote are carried out by a competent person.
