cold air to the freezer.  
With FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL set to MAX, you may  
need to adjust the REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL  
to balance the temperatures.  
Ice cube box  
NOTE :  
To prevent damage to the Ice cube  
box, do not make ice in the Ice cube box.  
Deodorizing unit  
Deodorizing catalyst is installed on the routes of cold air.  
No operation and cleaning are required.  
REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL controls the  
compressor running time of the refrigeration system.  
MAX setting will result in colder temperature in both  
(refrigerator and freezer) compartments.  
Defrosting  
Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving  
system.  
Extreme ambient temperatures  
During periods of extreme ambient temperatures  
(e.g. less than 10°C, or more than 35°C)  
you may find it necessary to rebalance the freezer and  
refrigerator temperature controls accordingly.  
CARE AND CLEANING  
WARNING  
NOTE  
Unplug the refrigerator first to prevent electric  
shock.  
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.  
Do not splash water directly on the outer cabinet  
or the interior. This may lead to rusting and  
deterioration of the electrical insulation.  
If the power supply is disconnected, please wait for at least  
5 minutes before re-connecting power.  
IMPORTANT  
To prevent cracking on inside surfaces and plastic  
components, follow these tips.  
Wipe any spills from the control knob immediately as liquid  
ingress can damage the electronics.  
Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components.  
Some household chemicals may cause damage, so use  
only diluted washing-up liquid (soapy water).  
Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the inner  
wall. This may cause the inner surface to crack.  
If a refrigerator lamp blows  
The lamp should only be replaced by a service center  
approved by SHARP.  
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.  
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 the shelves and pockets from the cabinet and  
door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing water;  
rinse in clean water and dry.

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.  
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.  
OUT  
IN  
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.  
Fruit / Vegetables  
To minimise moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be  
loosely enclosed in a plastic material (e.g. wrap, bags) and  
placed in the vegetable crisper.  
This may lead  
to the food  
freezing.  
Dairy Product & Eggs  
• Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer  
packaging which informs the recommended temperature  
and shelf life of the product.  
Vegetable  
shelf  
Keep the door securely closed.  
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg pocket.  
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.  
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.  
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE  
Before you call for service, check the following points.  
Problem  
Solution  
The outside of a cabinet is hot when  
touched.  
It is normal. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew generation.  
When there is refrigerator noise.  
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).  
• Cracking or crunching sound, Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by  
expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during cooling.  
Frosting or dew generation occurs  
inside or outside the refrigerator.  
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.)  
The foods in the refrigerator  
compartment freeze.  
• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with REFRIGERATOR TEMP.  
CONTROL set at MAX?  
• Low ambient temperature may cause food to freeze even if  
REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL is set to MIN.  
(Refer to temperature adjustment setting on page 4)  
• Wrapping is required for the food with strong odours.  
• Deodorizing unit cannot remove all of the odours  
Noticeable odures.
