Hints when making ice
Hybrid cooling panel (Aluminium panel)
The panel is cooled from the rear, thus indirectly cooling
the refrigerator compartment. In this way, food is
refrigerated gently, without exposing it to cold air flow.

CARE AND CLEANING
STORING FOOD
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
To maximise the shelf life of perishable food products,
ensure that the food is the freshest possible quality. The
following is a general guide to help promote longer food
storage.
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.
Fruit / Vegetables
To minimise moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be
loosely enclosed in a plastic material (e.g. wrap, bags)
and placed in the fruit and vegetable crisper.
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, acid or
alkaline in the food can cause cracking and staining of
plastic parts.
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 holder.

rinse in clean water and dry.
(Only fruit and vegetable shelf is not removable.)
• 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 system with
foods or containers; otherwise the
foods will not be evenly cooled
throughout the refrigerator.
5 Wipe 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.
• Wipe any spills from the control panel immediately, liquid
ingress can damage the electronics.
• Keep the door securely closed.
• 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.
If a refrigerator lamp blows
The lamp should only be replaced by a SHARP approved
service centre.
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 stored or covered and the air
should be removed to seal tightly.
• Evenly place the food in the freezer.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing
food.
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
symptom of mold:
1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the power point.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly for
air circulation.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
Before you call for service, check the following points.
Problem
Solution
The outside of cabinet is hot when
touched.
This is normal. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew
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 dew 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 dew.
• When the ambient humidity is high.
• When the door is frequently opened and closed.
• When foods containing plenty of moisture are stored. (Wrapping is required.)
The food 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 foods to freeze even if refrigerator
temp. control is set to 6°C.
Noticeable odours.
• Wrapping is required for foods with strong odours.
• Deodorising unit cannot remove all odours.
If you still require service contact your SHARP approved service centre.
SHARP approved service centre locations can be found in the support area of our website:
