???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.)
CAUTION
???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.

INSTALLATION
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.
1 Keep 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.
???If using the refrigerator in the smaller space dimension than the below ???gure, 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.

STORING FOOD
Small foods Juice etc.
Bottles etc.
Frozen foods (Small size)
Frozen foods (Big size)
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.
Meat, Fish, Poultry etc.
???Vegetables are improper in this case. They may
be frozen.
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.
IN
OUT
Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.
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.
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.

CARE AND CLEANING
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
???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.
1 Remove the accessories e.g. shelves from the cabinet and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing water; rinse in clean water and dry.
2 Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off soapy water.
3 Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.
4 Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and warm soapy dishwashing water.
5 Wipe the control panel with the dry cloth.
