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.

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.

Extreme ambient temperatures

During periods of extreme ambient temperatures 
(e.g. less than 10°C, or more than 35°C) 

you may find it necessary to rebalance the freezer and
refrigerator temperature controls accordingly.

Wipe any spills from the refrigerator immediately as acid  

or alkaline in the food can cause cracking and staining of 
plastic parts.

•

  FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL regulates the quantity of 

cold air to the freezer.

•

  With FREEZER TEMP. CONTROL set to MAX, you may 

need to adjust the REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL 
to balance the temperatures.

•

  REFRIGERATOR TEMP. CONTROL controls the 

compressor running time of the refrigeration system.

•

  MAX setting will result in colder temperature in both 

(refrigerator and freezer) compartments.

If a refrigerator lamp blows

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 mould:
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.

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.

• 

Wipe any spills from the control knob immediately as liquid 

ingress can damage the electronics.

• 

Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the inner 

wall. This may cause the inner surface to crack. 

IMPORTANT

The lamp should only be replaced by a service center
approved by SHARP.
