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).

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.

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 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.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE  
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.
