Switching off your refrigerator
If you switch your refrigerator off when you are going away
for an extended period, remove all food, clean the interior
thoroughly. Remove the power cord plug from the power
socket and leave all doors open.
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.
!
!
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.
NOTE
!
To prevent damage to your refrigerator, do not use heavy
duty cleansers or solvents (lacquer, paint, polishing powder,
benzine, boiled water, etc.).
!
If the power supply is disconnected, please wait for at least
5 minutes before re-connecting power.
!
Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the inner
wall. This may cause the inner surface to crack.
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.
STORING FOOD
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 (do
not seal) and place in the vegetable crisper.

foods should be cooled before storing.
Storing hot foods increases the
temperature in the unit and increases the
risk of food spoilage.

evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
