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 benet from it.
This refrigerator contains ammable 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.)
Do not use electric appliances inside the refrigerator.•
Use only the specied parts for the refrigerator •
compartment light.
Do not block the openings on the circumference of the•
refrigerator.
Do not use ammable sprays, such as spray paint near •
the refrigerator. It may cause explosion or re.
If the refrigeration system should get punctured, do not•
touch the wall outlet and do not use open ames. 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 ammable
refrigerant and insulation blowing gases.
Do not store highly volatile and ammable 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 re. Wipe it ■
off carefully.
Do not attempt to change or modify this refrigerator. This■
may result in re, 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 re.
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 re.
Should the exible 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.
In case of gas leak, ventilate the area by opening a■
window, etc. Do not touch the refrigerator or the power
outlet.
Do not place objects containing liquid or unsteady objects■
on top of refrigerator.
This refrigerator is not intended for use by persons■
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the refrigerator by a person responsible
for their safety. Young children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the refrigerator.

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 gure shows the minimum required space for •
installing the refrigerator. The amount of space
around the refrigerator affects the amount of power
consumption.
Insufcient spacing will decrease cooling efciency •
and increase energy consumption. This may reduce
the life of the unit and void warranty.

STORING FOOD
IN
OUT
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
To maximize 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 or the 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, sh, 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
efciently.
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.
This section is not suitable●
to store vegetables as they
may freeze.

WARNING
Unplug the refrigerator rst 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 rmly •
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 qualied 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.
circulation.
CARE AND CLEANING
Casters
Keep the ventilation space as much as possible around■
the refrigerator.
Keep your refrigerator out of direct sunlight, and do not■
place next to heat generating appliance.
Open your refrigerator door as briey as possible.■
Hot foods should be cooled before storing.■
Place the food evenly on the shelves to allow the cooling■
air to circulate efciently.

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 owing uid (gurgling sound, zzing sound) •
--- Sound of refrigerant owing 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 MIN.
Noticeable odours. Wrapping is required for food with strong odours.•
