CHAPTER -1: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For Denmark products:
The appliance is equipped with a plug approved in the EU ( EU-Schuko Plug) and can be used in Finland, Norway and
Sweden. In Denmark, the appliance is only approved for use with a wall outlet type E or type CEE7 // 7-S with a ground
leg. If there is only wall outlet type K at the connection point, Replacing EU-Schuko plug with the Danish plug must be
performed by only an authorized service personel. Alternatively, connect a suitable and approved power adapter to
transition between Schuko plug and Danish earth system. This adapter (min. 10 amps and up to max. 13 amps) can
be ordered via at well assorted whitegoods dealer or authorized electrician. Only with one of these methods it can be
ensured that the appliance is the correct safety ground. In the absence of earthing installation, an authorised electrician
should carry out an earthing installation. In the case of use without earthing installed, we will not be responsible for any

CHAPTER -1: SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using your Fridge Freezer
• Before setting up your fridge freezer, check for any visible damage. Do not install or use your fridge freezer
if it is damaged
• When using your fridge freezer for the rst time, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before
plugging into the mains. This will allow efcient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
• You may notice a light odour when using your fridge freezer for the rst time. This is perfectly normal and
will fade away as the fridge starts to cool.
NO FROST technology
Differs from many other standard fridge freezers. Other appliances may experience ice in the
freezer compartment due to the opening of the doors and humidity caused by the food. In
such appliances defrosting is required. They have to be turned off periodically, the food inside
moved and the ice removed.
Your "no frost" fridge freezer prevents such problems by evenly distributing in the fridge and
freezer compartments through the use of a fan. This cools your food evenly and uniformly,
preventing humidity and freezing.
Blue arrows: Blow cold air
Red arrows: Returning hot air
• For safe operation it is important that your fridge freezer is safe and balanced. The adjustable feet are used to
level your fridge freezer. Make sure that your appliance is level before placing any foodstuffs
inside it.
• We recommend that you wipe all shelving and trays with a cloth soaked in warm water mixed
with a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda before use. After cleaning rinse with warm water and
dry.
• Install using the plastic distance guides, which can be found at the rear of the appliance. Turn
90 degrees (as shown in the diagram). This will keep the condenser from touching the wall.
• Refrigerator should be placed against a wall with a free distance not exceeding 75 mm.

Guidelines for Food Safety
Recommendations for food safety are listed below.
1. Chemical reactions in the food to air, temperature, moisture as well as enzyme actions, growth of microorganisms
or contamination from insects will cause food spoilage.
2. One of the reasons for the food to lose its nutritional value and freshness is oxygen in the air. Whilst food is not
protected by moisture-proof packagings, it is possible for air to encourage the growth of many micro-organisms.
The rate of growth depends on the internal and external humidication of the food.
3. Clostridium botulinum is one of the species that can grow in an anaerobic environment. Conditions for growth are
foods lacking acid, low oxygen environment.
4. Frozen, dried, high in acid, salt or sugar foods are resistant to botulinum. Non-acidic foods which include meat,
seafood, lye-cured olives, poultry, sh, eggs and mushrooms; low-acid foods which are mostly vegetables;
medium-acid foods include overripe tomatoes, onions, chili peppers, gs and cucumbers are prone to being
infected by botulinum.
5. Foods most susceptible to botulinum should be refrigerated for short term and frozen for long-term storage, and
consumed immediately after heating.
6. Since the micro-organisms can grow in a low oxygen environment, foods should be stored at low temperatures
to avoid spoilage.
7. It is recommended that you store your deli produce and dried fruits in the chiller compartment.

Cleaning evaporation bowl
Your fridge defrosts automatically. Water produced by defrosting ows to the evaporating container passing through the
water collecting groove, and vaporizes here by itself.
Replacing LED Lighting
If your fridge freezer has LED lighting contact the Sharp help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel
only.
