GENERAL WARNINGS

Before Using your Fridge

• Before setting up your fridge freezer, check for any visible damage. Do not install or use your fridge freezer if it is damaged
• When using your fridge freezer for the first time, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging it into the mains. This will allow efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
• You may notice a slight odor when using your fridge freezer for the first time. This is perfectly normal and will fade away as the fridge starts to cool.

Information about new-generation cooling technology

Fridge freezers with new-generation cooling technology have a different working system than static fridge freezers. In normal fridge freezers, humid air enters the freezer and the water vapor emanating from the foods turns into frost in the freezer compartment. In order to melt this frost, in other words, defrost, the fridge has to be unplugged. In order to keep foods cold during the defrosting period, the user must store the food elsewhere and the user must clear the remaining ice and accumulated frost. The situation is completely different in freezer compartments equipped with new-generation cooling technology. With the aid of a fan, cold and dry air is blown throughout the freezer compartment. As a result of the cold air that is blown easily throughout the compartment ­ even in the spaces between shelves, ­ foods are frozen equally and properly. And there will be no frost. The configuration in the refrigerator compartment will be nearly the same as the freezer compartment. The air emitted by the fan located at the top of the refrigerator compartment is cooled while passing through the gap behind the air duct. At the same time, the air is blown out through the holes in the air duct so that the cooling process is successfully completed in the refrigerator compartment. Holes on the air duct are designed for even air distribution throughout the compartment. Since no air passes between the freezer and refrigerator compartment, odors will not mix. As a result, your fridge with new-generation cooling technology is easy to use and it offers you access to a huge volume and aesthetic appearance.

Temperature indicator

In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a temperature indicator located in the coldest area. To better store the food in your refrigerator, especially in the coldest area, make sure the message “OK” appears on the temperature indicator. If « OK » does not appear, this means the temperature has not been set properly It may be difficult to see the indicator, make sure it is properly lit. Each time the temperature setting device is changed, wait for the stabilization of the temperature inside the appliance before proceeding, if necessary, with a new temperature setting. Please change the position of the temperature setting device progressively and wait at least 12 hours before starting a new check and potential change.

NOTE: Following repeated openings (or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh food into the appliance, it is normal for the indication “OK” not to appear in the temperature setting indicator. If there is an abnormal build-up of ice crystals (bottom wall of the appliance) on the refrigerator compartment, or evaporator (overloaded appliance, high room temperature, frequent door openings), the temperature setting device on a lower position until compressor off periods are obtained again.

Store food in the coldest area of the refrigerator.
Your foods will be better stored if you put them in the most appropriate cooling area. The coldest area is just above the crisper. The following symbol indicates the coldest area of your refrigerator. To be sure to have a low temperature in this area, make sure the shelf is located at the level of this symbol, as shown in the illustration. The upper limit of the coldest area is indicated by the lower side of the sticker (head of the arrow). The coldest area upper shelf must be at the same level as the arrowhead. The coldest area is below this level. As these shelves are removable, make sure they are always at the same level with these zone limits described on the stickers, in order to guarantee temperatures in this area.

USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER

Accessories Freezer box

• The freezer box is for foods that need to be accessed more easily.
• Removing The freezer box; · Pull the box out as far as possible
• Pull the front of the box up and out. Make the inverse of the same operation for resetting the sliding compartment.
• Note: Always hold the handle of the box while moving in or out.

Zero Degree Zone (In some models)
Keeping food in the chiller compartment instead of the freezer or refrigerator compartment allows food to retain freshness and flavor longer while preserving its fresh appearance. If the chiller tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash it with water. (Water freezes at 0 °C, but foods containing salt or sugar require lowered temperatures to freeze) Normally people use the chiller compartment for raw fish, rice, etc… Do not put foods you want to freeze or ice trays in order to make ice.

Removing the chiller shelf

• Pull the chiller shelf out toward you by sliding it on rails.
• Pull the chiller shelf up from the rail to remove it. After the chiller shelf has been removed, it can support a maximum 20 kg load.

Humidity Controller
When the humidity controller is in a closed position, it allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored for a longer time. In the event the crisper is full, the fresh dial that is located in front of the crisper should be opened. By means of this, the air in the crisper and humidity rate will be controlled and the shelf life will be extended. If you see any condensation on the glass shelf, the humidity control should be placed in an open position. Adaptive-Lift Door Shelf (In some models) Six different height adjustments can be made to provide storage areas that you need by Adapti-Lift.

FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE

Refrigerator compartment

• For normal operating conditions, adjusting the temperature value of the cooler partition of the fridge to 4°C is enough.
  To reduce the humidity and consequently increase frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and, in time, will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
• Nothing should touch the back wall as this will cause frost and the packages may stick to the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment (that is above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and will ensure the best-storing conditions.
• You can put fruits and vegetables into the crisper without packing.
• For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food. · Meat, fish, etc. should be stored in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross-contamination, meat products, and fruit vegetables are not stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.

Freezer compartment

• Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing frozen food for a long time and for producing ice.
• To get maximum capacity for the freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for the upper and middle sections. For the bottom section, please use a lower basket.
• Please do not place the food that needs to be frozen next to the already frozen food.
• You should freeze the food to be frozen (meat, minced meat, fish, etc.) by dividing it into portions in such a way that they can be consumed once.
• Please do not refreeze the frozen food once it has already thawed. It may pose a danger to your health as it may cause food poisoning.
• Do not place the hot meals in your deep freeze before they become cold. You would cause the other food frozen beforehand in the deep freeze to become putrefied.
• When you buy frozen food, make sure that they were frozen under appropriate conditions and that the package is not torn.
• While storing frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly be observed. If there is no additional information, the food must be consumed within the shortest time possible.
• If the frozen food package was subject to humidity and has a foul smell, it might have been previously stored under unsuitable conditions and gone rotten. Do not purchase this type of food!
• The storage duration of frozen food changes depending on the ambient temperature, the frequency of the opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food type, and the time elapsed from the purchase time of the food to the time it is placed into the freezer. Always follow the instructions on the package and never exceed the indicated storage duration.
• During long-lasting power failures, do not open the door of the deep freeze compartment. During longer power failures, do not refreeze your food and consume it as soon as possible.
• Please note: if you want to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, it will not open easily. This is a normal occurrence. After reaching the equilibrium condition, the door will open easily.
  Important note:
  Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked after being thawed they must NEVER be re-frozen.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basil, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a stronger taste when they are stored for a long period. Therefore, just a small amount of the spice should be added or the desired spice should be added after the food has been thawed.
• The food storage period is dependent on the oil used. Suitable oils include: margarine, half fat, olive oil, and butter, and unsuitable oils include: peanut oil and lard.
• The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.

DOOR REVERSAL

Repositioning the door

• It depends on which fridge freezer you have as to whether it is possible the reverse the doors.
• It is not possible where handles are attached to the front of the appliance.
• If your model does not have handles it is possible to reverse the doors, but this needs to be completed by authorized personnel. Please call Sharp service.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your fridge warns you if the temperatures for cooler and freezer are in improper levels or when a problem occurs in the appliance. Warning codes are displayed in the Freezer and Cooler Indicators.

If your fridge is not operating:

• Is there a power failure?
• Is the plug connected to the socket correctly?
• Is the fuse of the socket to which the plug is connected or the main fuse has blown?
• Is there any failure at the socket? To check this, plug your refrigerator into a known working socket.

If your fridge is not cooling enough;

• Is the temperature adjustment, right?
• Is the door of your fridge opened frequently and left open for a long while?
• Is the door of fridge closed properly?
• Did you put a dish or food on your fridge so that it contacts the rear wall of your fridge so as to prevent the air circulation?
• Is your fridge filled excessively?
• Is there adequate distance between your fridge and the rear and side walls?
• Is the ambient temperature within the range of values specified in the operating manual?
• If the food in your refrigerator compartment is over-cooled
• Is the temperature adjustment right?
• Is there any food recently put inside the freezer compartment? If so, your fridge may over cool the food inside the refrigerator compartment as it will operate longer to cool this food.
  If your fridge is operating too loudly; To maintain the set cooling level, compressor may be activated from time to time. Noises from your fridge at this time are normal and due to its function. When the required cooling level is reached, noises will be decreased automatically. If the noises persist;
• Is your appliance stable? Are the legs adjusted?
• Is there anything behind your fridge?
• Are the shelves or dishes on the shelves vibrating? Replace the shelves and/or dishes if this is the case.
• Are the items placed on your fridge vibrating?
  Normal Noises; Cracking (Ice cracking) Noise:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material). Short cracking: Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off. Compressor noise (Normal motor noise): This noise means that the compressor operates normally Compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated. Bubbling noise and splash: This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system. Water flow noise: Normal flow noise of water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This noise can be heard during defrosting. Air Blowing Noise (Normal fan noise): This noise can be heard in the No-Frost fridge during normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
  If humidity builds up inside the fridge; · Has the food been properly packaged? Have the containers been well dried before they were put into the refrigerator? · Are the doors of the refrigerator opened very frequently? When the door is opened, the humidity found in the air in the room enters the refrigerator. Especially if the humidity rate in the room is too high, the more frequently the door is opened the faster will be the humidification.
  If the doors are not opened and closed properly;
• Do the food packages prevent closing of the door? · Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?
• Are door gaskets broken or torn? · Is your fridge on a level surface?
  If the edges of fridge cabinet that the door joint contact are warm; Especially in summer (hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.
  About the water dispenser; If the water flow is abnormal; Check that;
• The tank is well installed.
• The tank gaskets are well assembled. If dripping occurs; Check that;
• The tap is well assembled.
• The tap gaskets are well assembled.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• The compressor protection thermal fuse will cut out after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the appliance because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilized. This is quite normal, and the fridge will restart after 4 or 5 minutes.
• The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets or ice may occur on the rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor at specified intervals. This is normal. There is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless the ice is excessive.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays) unplug it. Clean your fridge according to Part 4 and leave the door open to prevent humidity and smell.
• The appliance you have purchased is designed for home-type use and can be used only at home and for the stated purposes. It is not suitable for commercial or common use.
