CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE
Defrosting
Excessive frost will affect the performance of the refrigerator. The ice making compartment should be defrosted at least
twice a year, or when ice exceeds 7 mm thick.
For this;
• Make sure that drain tray flap is in place. (Set the Winter mode. At the end of defrosting set the previous mode
depending on the ambient temperature - Winter or Summer mode)
• The day before you defrost the freezer, set the thermostat dial to 5 to freeze the foods completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The
inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life.
Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of
time.
• Switch the refrigerator off at the socket outlet and pull out the
mains plug.
• Leave the door open. To accelerate the defrosting process one
or more basins of warm water can be placed in the freezer
compartment.
• Dry the inside of the unit and dripping tray with a sponge or a clean
cloth and set the thermostat knob to 5.
The hole at the bottom of refrigerator at the back is closed and has no effect
on the product's cooling system.
Replacing LED Lighting
If your fridge freezer has LED lighting contact the Sharp help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel
only.

CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE

• To reduce frost build up never place liquids
• Allow warm or hot food to cool down before storing. This helps reduce power consumption.
• To avoid frost buildup ensure that nothing is stored touching the back wall.
• The coldest area of the refrigerator is the bottom. We recommend to use this area to store food that will perish
easily, such as fish, ready meals, baked goods or dairy products. The warmest area is the top shelf of the door.
We recommend you store butter or cheese there.
• 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
