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.
Hybrid cooling 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.
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To
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 minimise moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should
be loosely enclosed in a plastic material (e.g. wrap,
bags) and placed in the fruit and vegetable crisper.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
• 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
system with foods or containers; otherwise the foods will
not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
• Keep the door securely closed.

(Aluminium panel)
Tube stand
Prevents bottles etc. from falling.
Tube-type food products can also be
stored inside.
Deodorising unit
A deodorising catalyst is installed on the routes of cold air.
No operation and cleaning required.
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.
WARNING
CARE AND CLEANING
WHAT TO DO BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
■ 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, acid or
alkaline in the food can cause cracking and staining of
plastic parts.
Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet and
1
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.
• Wipe any spills from the control knob immediately, liquid
ingress can damage the electronics.
• 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.
If a refrigerator lamp blows
The lamp should only be replaced by a SHARP approved
service centre.
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 mold:
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.
Before you call for service, check the following points.
Problem Solution
The outside of cabinet is hot when
touched.
When there is refrigerator noise. It is normal for the refrigerator to produce the following sounds.
Frosting or dew generation occurs
inside or outside the refrigerator.
The food in the refrigerator
compartment freeze.
This is normal. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew
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 dew.
• When the ambient humidity is high.
• When the door is frequently opened and closed.
• When foods containing plenty of moisture are stored. (Wrapping is required.)
• Has the refrigerator been operating for a long time with temp. control set at
MAX?
• Low ambient temperature may cause foods to freeze even if refrigerator
temp. control is set to MIN.
Noticeable odours. • Wrapping is required for foods with strong odours.
• Deodorising unit cannot remove all odours.
