Controlling temperature
• Freeze small quantities of food at a time in order to
freeze them quickly.
• Food should be properly sealed tightly or covered .
• Place foods in the freezer evenly.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of
freezing food.
Refrigerator
Fruit / Vegetables
• Fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in
a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not seal) and
placed in the fruit and vegetable crisper to minimize
moisture loss.
• Fruits and vegetables which are easily effected by low
temperature should be stored in a cool place except for
the refrigerator.
Dairy Products & Eggs
• Most dairy products have their best-before date on
the outer packaging which informs the recommended
temperature and shelf life of the foods.
• Eggs should be stored in the egg pocket .
Meats / Fish / Poultry
• Place on a plate or a 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.
• Ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality to maximize the storage life of perishable food. The following is
a general guide to help promote longer food storage.
• Food has a limited storage life. Make sure not to exceed use-by date indicated by manufacturer.
• The amount of energy consumption of this model is
measured as shown in the picture below.
• Install the refrigerator in a well-ventilated area and
keep the space to ventilate.
• Keep your refrigerator out of direct sunlight and do
not place it next to heat generating appliance.
• Avoid opening the door as much as possible.
• Hot food should be cooled before storing.
• Place the food evenly on the shelves to allow the
cool air to circulate effi ciently.

Advice for preventing dew or
frost inside the refrigerator
• Keep the door securely closed. If the food falls down,
it may cause a gap between the cabinet and the door.
Move it back to the shelf or the pocket.
• Open and close the door quickly as much as possible.
Dew or frost may appear if the door is left open for a
long period of time or opening and closing of the door
is very often.
• Stored items should be packed or sealed with such as
food containers or plastic wraps. (Especially food with
high-moisture)
Advice for storing food
• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the
cooling air to circulate efficiently.
• Hot food should be cooled before storing. Storing hot
food increases the temperature in the unit and the risk
of food spoilage.
• Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air
circulating circuit with food or containers; otherwise the
food is not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
• Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet. This
may lead to the food freezing.
Care and cleaning
Important
Follow the tips below to prevent cracks on the
inner surfaces and plastic components
• Wipe out food oil adhered to plastic parts.
• 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, it may result in cracks of plastic
parts.
Cleaning
• Remove the accessories (e.g. shelves) from the cabinet
and the door. Wash them by warm soapy dishwashing
water. After that, rinse them in clean water and dry.
(Only fruit and vegetable shelf is not removable)
• Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy
dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off
soapy water thoroughly.
• Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it gets
dirty.
• Clean the magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and
warm soapy dishwashing water.
• Wipe the control panel with a dry cloth.
Note
• Do not use heavy-duty cleansers or solvents (lacquer,
paint, polishing powder, benzine, boiled water, etc.)
which may cause damages.
• If you pull out the power plug once, wait 5 minutes at
least before connecting the power plug again.
• The glass shelves weigh approximately 3 kg each.
Hold them firmly when remove from the cabinet and
carry.
• Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the
inner wall. This may cause cracks to inner surface.
Before transporting
Wipe up water in the evaporating pan. Before wiping
up the water, wait more than 1 hour after pulling out the
plug because refrigeration cycle equipment is extremely
hot. (The evaporating pan is located on the rear of the
product.)
Evaporating pan
Defrosting of the
cooling unit
Defrosting is automatically operated by a unique energy
saving system. (Approx. once a day.) Ice making takes
time because the temperature inside becomes slightly
higher than usual during the defrosting.
When the compartment
light is blown
Contact the service agent approved by SHARP to
replace the light. The light is not to be replaced other
than by qualified service personnel.
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 growth of mold
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the socket.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Keep all the doors open slightly for a few days to dry.
