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.
●
Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in
an airtight container.
●
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 fruit and vegetable
crisper.
●
Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
●
Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the
cooling air to circulate ef
fi
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.
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
Before you call for service, check the following points.
Problem
Solution
The outside of the cabinet is hot
when touched.
It 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 foods in the refrigerator
compartment freeze.
●
Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with temp. control set at MAX?
●
Low ambient temperature may cause placed foods to freeze even if refrigerator
temp. control is set to MIN.
It smells in the compartment.
●
Wrapping is required for the foods with strong smell.
●
Deodorizing unit cannot remove all of the smell.
Door alarm dose not stop.
●
If the door alarm does not stop after closing all doors, it is a defect.
Contact the SHARP service center for service.
Method of stopping the door alarm temporarily.
Adjust both temp. control knobs at the same time as following steps.

The door alarm will sound again after approximately 2 days.
IF YOU STILL REQUIRE SERVICE
Refer to your nearest service agent approved by SHARP.
STORING FOOD
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
freezing food.
IN
OUT
Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet.
This may lead to the food freezing.
