For hygienic reasons, make sure to do following
things regularly.
Switching off your refrigerator
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.
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.
Defrosting is automatically operated by a unique energy
saving system.
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.
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.
Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy
dishwasing water.Then, use cold water to wipe off
soapy water thoroughly.
If the refrigerator needs to be switched off for an
extended period, the following steps should be
taken to reduce the growth of mold:
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.
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 at least
5 minutes before re-connecting power.
Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the
inner wall. This may cause cracks to inner surface.
When the knob is placed at the “Crisper” position,
you can use the chiller zone as a crisper. It is suitable
for maintaining the appropriate temperature and humidity
for fruits and vegetables.
When the knob is placed at the “Fresh” position,
it is suitable for short-term storage of fish or other fresh
food. This is the best way to keep freshness.
In this case, it is recommended to set the refrigerator
temperature below 4°C and usethe food within 3 days.
It is suitable for vegetables when the knob is placed
on the right.
It is suitable for fruits when the knob is placed
on the left.
The glass shelves are heavy to carry. Hold them firmly
whenyou remove the shelves from the cabinet .

Do not place food directly
in front of cold air outlet.
This may lead to the food
freezing.
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
Ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality to maximize the shelf life of perishable foods.
The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.
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.
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 tray.
Place on a plate or a dish and cover with paper or
plastic wrap.
For larger cuts or meat, fish, or poultry, place to
the rear of theshelves.
Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in
an airtight container
•
•
Quality of foods should be fresh.
Freeze smallquantities of food at a time in order to
freeze them quickly.
Food should be properly sealed or covered tightly.
Place foods in the freezer evenly.
Label bags or containers to keep an invenory of freezing
food.
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.
Food with high-moisture should be stored in airtight
container or sealed tightly.
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 inceases the
temperature in the unit and
risk of food spoilage.
•
•
Opening the door for long
periods can cause a
significant increase of the
temperature in the
compartments of the
appliance.
Do not block the outlet
and inlet of the cool air
circulating circuit with foods
or containers;otherwise
the food is not be evenly
cooled throuhout the
refrigerator.
