The refrigeration system behind and inside the refrigerator  
contains refrigerant. Do not allow any sharp objects to  
come into contact with the refrigeration system.  
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to  
accelerate the defrosting process. (This refrigerator has  
adopted automatic defrosting system.)  
WARNING  
Do not install the refrigerator in a damp or wet  
location as this may cause damage to the insulation  
and create a leak. Condensation may also build on  
the outer cabinet and cause rust.  
Keep adequate ventilation space around the 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.

STORING FOOD  
• At first, the sound is set “ON”.  
Use this feature when you want to switch the sound of key  
operation to “ON” or “OFF”.  
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.

Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in an  
airtight container.  
NOTE  
Evenly place the food on the  
shelves to allow the cooling air  
to circulate efficiently.  
The indication will  
disappear.  
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.  
IN  
OUT  
Do not place food directly in front of cold air  
outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.  
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.

CARE AND CLEANING  
NOTE  
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.  
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 3 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.  
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.  
Defrosting  
Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving  
system.  
When the compartment light is blown  
Contact a service agent approved by SHARP to request a  
replacement compartment light. The compartment light is not

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.  
Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and  
warm soapy dishwashing water.  
Wipe the touch control panel with the dry cloth.  
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE  
Before you call for service, check the following points.  
Problem  
Solution  
The outside of the cabinet is hot  
when touched.  
This is normal. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent condensation 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 condensation  
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 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.)  
The foods in the refrigerator  
compartment freeze.  
• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with refrigerator temp. control set at 0°C?  
• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with freezer temp. control set at -21°C?  
Low ambient temperature may cause food to freeze even if refrigerator temp. control is  
set to 6°C.  
Noticeable odours.  
• Wrapping is required for food with strong odours.  
Deodorising unit cannot remove all of the odours.  
Touch control panel does not  
work.  
This may occur in one of the following cases.  
• The panel or your finger is soiled with dripping, oil and etc.  
• Touch the panel with gloved hand, adhesive bandage on your finger, nail or objects.  
• Sticker or tape is affixed on the keys.  
Touch position is slightly off from the keys.  
Operate time is not enough for the keys to work.  
If you still require service contact your SHARP Approved Service Centre.
