This appliance operates from 220-240 volts and should be protected by a 13 amp fuse in the plug. The appliance is supplied with a standard 13 amp 3-pin mains plug fitted with a 13-amp fuse. Should the fuse require replacement, it must be replaced with a fuse rated at 13 amp and approved to BS1362. If the mains plug which is fitted is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home or is removed for any other reason, please follow the instructions below on how to wire a 13 amp 3 pin plug.. How to wire a 13 amp plug. Important The wires in the mains lead on this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and Yellow Earth Blue Neutral Brown Live As the colours may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows. The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or with Blue Neutral Green / Yellow Earth the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow. The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L. You must make sure the lead is firmly secured under the Cord Clamp cord clamp. No-Frost technology Your fridge freezer differs from many other standard fridge freezers. Other appliances may experience ice in the freezer compartment due to the opening of the doors and humidity caused by the food. In such appliances defrosting is required. They have to be turned off periodically, the food inside moved and the ice removed. Your "no frost" fridge freezer prevents such problems by evenly distributing in the fridge and freezer compartments through the use of a fan. This cools your food evenly and uniformly, preventing humidity and freezing. Brown Live FUSE 13 Amps EN -7-

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 temperature has not been set properly OK 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 stabilisation 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 of ice crystals (bottom wall of the appliance) on the refrigerator compartment, evaporator (overloaded appliance, high room temperature, frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a lower position until compressor off periods are obtained again.
CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER 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 with the arrow head. 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. Accessories Ice box To remove the ice box; pull the upper freezer box out as far as possible and then pull the ice box out. Fill 3/4 full of water and place the ice box in it freezer. Note: While placing the ice box in the freezer, place it in a horizontal position. Otherwise the water in the ice box can spill.

CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER Make sure to unplug the fridge before starting to clean it. Do not wash your fridge by pouring water. You can wipe the inner and outer sides with a soft cloth or a sponge using warm and soapy water. Remove the parts individually and clean with soapy water. Do not wash in washing machine. Never use flammable, explosive or corrosive material like thinner, gas, acid for cleaning. You should clean the condenser with broom at least once a year in order to provide energy saving and increase the productivity. Make sure that your fridge is unplugged while cleaning. Defrosting Your refrigerator automatically defrosts. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporization container behind your refrigerator and evaporates by itself in there. Replacing LED Lighting If your fridge freezer has LED lighting contact the Sharp help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel only. Evaporating tray 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. If you are going to use the refrigerator with maximum freezing capacity: * Place the foods that you want to freeze to the top basket of the freezer department without exceeding the freezing capacity of your refrigerator. * While you use Super Freeze Mode, you mustn't storage an exist foozen food near the fresh foods that you want to freeze. Then enable the Super Freeze mode again. You may place your food next to the other frozen food after they are frozen (for at least 24 hours after the 2nd activation of the Super Freeze mode). 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 provided food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date. When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact. Frozen foods should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be stored in the freezer as soon as possible. If a package of frozen food shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated. The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is EN -14-
CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated. That; If you decide to open the freezer door again immediately after closing, it may be difficult to re-open. This is normal and after the freezer has reached an 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, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they are stored for a long period. Therefore, only add a small amount of spice if planning to freeze, or the desired spice should be added after the food has been thawed. The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat. The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags. CHAPTER -5: 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 at 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 authorised personnel. Please call Sharp service. CHAPTER -6: TROUBLESHOOTING Check Warnings; 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. ERROR TYPE ERROR TYPE WHY WHAT TO DO SR LF LC LF and LC "Failure Warning" Freezer comp. Not Cold enough "Refrigerator comp. Not Cold enough" "not cold enough Warning" There is/are some part(s) Out of order or there is a failure in cooling process This caution will be seen especially after long term of power failure Ideal temperature for Ref. Compartment is +4 o C. If you see this warning your foods have risk of spoiling. It is the combination of LF and LC Error type Contact the Sharp helpdesk as soon as possible. 1. Do not freeze the foods that are thaw and use in short time period. 2. Set the freezer temperature to colder values or set the super freeze, until the compartment gets to normal temperature. 3. Do not put fresh food until this failure is off. 1. Set the refrigerator temperature to colder values or set the super cooling mode until the compartment gets to normal temperature. 2. Do not open the door much until this failure is off. You will see this failure when first starting the appliance. It will be off after the compartments gets normal temperature HC Refrigerator comp. too Cold The foods starts to freeze because of the too much cold temperature 1. Check if the Super cooling mode is on 2. Decrease the refrigerator temperature values LOPO "Low voltage Warning" When the power supply gets lower than 170 V the appliance gets to steady position. This not a failure. This prevents any damages on the compressor. This warning will off after the voltage gets required level EN -15-
CHAPTER -6: TROUBLESHOOTING 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 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? Are there many 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 these 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? Re-place 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 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. It is normal to have water drops formed on the back wall following the automatic defrosting process. (In Static Models) 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. IMPORTANT NOTES: The compressor protection thermal fuse will cutout after sudden power breakdowns or after unplugging the appliance, because the gas in the cooling system is not stabilised. 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 in 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 EN -16-
