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 fire.

• 

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 fire.

• 

Should the flexible 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 wet hands. This may cause frostbite.

■

Do not place bottled and canned drinks in the freezer as 

they may crack when frozen.

refrigerator contains refrigerant. 

If this system is punctured it could result in serious 

damage to your refrigerator, therefore do not allow any 

sharp objects to come into contact with the refrigeration 

system.

In case of gas leak, ventilate the area by opening a 

window, etc. Do not touch the refrigerator or the power
