Household use only
Thank you very much 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.
This refrigerator is for household only, with ambient temperature between +5°C and +43°C.•
The refrigerator should not be subjected to temperatures of -10°C or below for a long period of
time.
This refrigerator contains flammable refrigerant (R600a:■
isobutane) and insulation blowing gas (cyclopentane).
Observe the following rules to prevent ignition and
explosion.
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.)

refrigerator.
Do not use flammable sprays, such as spray paint near•
the refrigerator. It may cause explosion or fire.
If the refrigeration system should get punctured, do not•
touch the wall outlet and do not use open flames. Open
the window and air out the room. Then ask a service
agent approved by SHARP for servicing.
This refrigerator should be disposed appropriately.•
Take the refrigerator to a recycling plant for flammable
refrigerant and insulation blowing gases.
Do not store highly volatile and flammable materials such■
as ether, petrol, propane gas, aerosol cans, adhesive
agents and pure alcohol etc.
These materials are liable to explode.
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.
Ensure that the refrigerator presents no danger to children■
while being stored for disposal. (e.g. remove the magnetic
door seals to prevent child entrapment.)
WARNING
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.
Should the flexible supply cord be damaged, it must be•
replaced by a service agent approved by SHARP as a
special cord is required.
Do not touch the compressor unit or its peripheral parts,■
as they become extremely hot during operation and the
metal edges may cause injury.
Do not touch foods or metal containers in the freezer■
compartment with your wet hands. This may cause
frostbite.
Do not place bottled and canned drinks in the freezer as■
they may crack when frozen.

WARNING
Do not install the refrigerator in a damp or wet location■
as this may cause damage to the insulation and a
leakage. Condensation may also build on the outer
cabinet and cause rust.
1Keep 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.
Insufficient spacing will•
decrease cooling efficiency
and increase energy
consumption.
This may reduce the life of the unit and void warranty.
If using the refrigerator in the smaller space dimension•
than the below figure, it may cause the temperature
rise in the unit, loud noise and failure.
The space between the rear of the refrigerator and the•
wall should be 60mm or more and less than 75mm.
If the space is wider than 75mm, you may get injured
by touching compressor and its peripheral parts which
are extremely hot during the operation.
2Use the two front adjustable feet, to ensure that the
refrigerator is positioned firmly and flat on the floor.
Before using your refrigerator

STORING FOOD
IN
OUT
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
To maximise the shelf life of perishable food products,
ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality.
The following is a general guide to help promote longer food
storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be
loosely enclosed in a plastic material (e.g. wrap, bags) and
place in the vegetable crisper and fruit case.
If you store a lot of vegetables, dew may form. This has no
effect on the operation or the performance. Use a dry cloth
to remove the dew.
Dairy Products & Eggs
Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer•
packaging which informs the recommended temperature
and shelf life of the product.
Eggs should be stored in the Egg tray.•
Meats / Fish / Poultry
Place on a plate or 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.
NOTE
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 circuit with foods
or containers; otherwise the foods will
not be evenly cooled throughout the
refrigerator.
Keep the door securely closed.•
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.
Vegetables are improper●
in this case. They may
be frozen.

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.
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.
1Remove the accessories e.g. shelves from the cabinet
and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing water;
rinse in clean water and dry.
2Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy
dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off
soapy water.
3Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.
4Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and
warm soapy dishwashing water.
5Wipe the control panel with the dry cloth.
NOTE
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.
Defrosting
Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving
system.
When the compartment light is blown
Contact the service agent approved by SHARP to request a
replacement compartment light. The compartment light is not
to be removed other than by qualified service personnel.
When 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.)
The casters allow the refrigerator to•
move back and forth.
Carry the refrigerator by holding the handles located on the•
rear and bottom.
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 mould:
Remove all food.1.
Remove the power plug from the power point.2.
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.3.
Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly for air4.

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.•
The 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.•
