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
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.
■ 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.
Keep adequate ventilation space around the
refrigerator.
1
■ Ensure that the refrigerator presents no danger to
children whilst being stored for disposal. (e.g. remove
the door to prevent child entrapment.)
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.
•
■ 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.
Using the two front adjustable feet, ensure that the
refrigerator is positioned firmly and level on the floor.
Remove the 2 screws of the cabinet lower part, and
use these to fit the foot covers (supplied inside the
refrigerator compartment).

• This refrigerator is designed for indoor use only, do not
place the unit on an unsealed surface.
■ 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.
When transporting
• Using the casters, it is possible to move back and forth.
• Carry the refrigerator by holding the handles located on
the rear and bottom.

NOTE
To prevent damage to the Ice cube box, do not make ice in
the Ice cube box.
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.
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.
STORING FOOD
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.
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.
• 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.

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 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.
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.
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.

Before you call for service, check the following points.
Problem
Solution
The outside of cabinet is hot when
touched.
This 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 food in the refrigerator
compartment freeze.
• 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.
If you still require service contact your SHARP approved service centre.
