CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER
Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment;
• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation ; water is collected by the
evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from
collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator.
Freezer compartment;
Frost, accumulated in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically. (Use the plastic scraper provided.)
The freezer compartment should be cleaned in the same way as the refrigerator at least twice a year.
For this;
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to "5" position 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.
• Set thermostat knob to position "•" or unplug the unit; leave the door open until completely defrosted.
• 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 carefully and set the thermostat knob to MAX position.
Replacing the light bulb
To replace the bulb in freezer and fridge departments;
1. Unplug your fridge.
2. Remove the cover of the box from the claws using a
screwdriver.
3. Replace with a bulb of maximum 15 Watts.
4. Install the cover.
5. Wait for 5 minutes before re-plugging and bring the
thermostat to its original position.
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

Refrigerator compartment
• To reduce frost build up never place liquids with unsealed containers in the fridge compartment.
• Allow warn 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 at 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 here.
Freezer compartment
• Use the freezer to store frozen foods for long periods of time and make ice cubes.
• To freeze fresh food - ensure that as much of the surface of food to be frozen is in contact with the cooling
surface.
• Do not put fresh food on either side of frozen food as it can thaw it.
• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,fish and mincemeat),divide into portion sizes.
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to consume them in a short
period of time.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
• The instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully and if no information is
