User manual SHARP SJ-43L-A2/47L-A2

[. . . ] This refrigerator is designed solely for the purpose of storing foodstuff for domestic use in accordance with the instructions given in this manual. Using the refrigerator for other purposes might be harmful to persons or property. This refrigerator is not suitable for the storage of materials requiring precise temperatures. Deterioration of these materials will be dangerous. [. . . ] The refrigeration system behind and inside the 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. Should the flexible supply cord be damaged, it must be replaced by service agent approved by SHARP as a special cord is required. In case of gas leak, ventilate the area by opening a window, etc. Do not touch the refrigerator or the power outlet. Do not place heavy or easily broken objects on top of the refrigerator. Objects may fall when opening or closing the refrigerator, causing injury. Do not place objects containing liquid on top of the refrigerator. Spillage may cause electric shock or fire. Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the inner wall. This may cause the inner surface to crack. e. , the less time the refrigerator compressor operates (during the winter season or you're away on holidays), the longer the time between each defrost cycle. DEODORIZING UNIT A built-in unit which requires no manual operation because it automatically starts operating when the refrigerator is powered on. 3 STORING FOOD Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To maximize the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality. The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage. NOTE: · Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling air to circulate efficiently. · Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot foods increases the temperature in the unit and increases the risk of food spoilage. · Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating circuit with foods or containers; otherwise the foods will not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator. Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet. This may lead to the food freezing. IN OUT Fruit / Vegetables To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a plastic material e. g. wrap, bags ( do not seal ) and place in the Vegetable crisper. Those fruits and vegetables with thick skins e. g. oranges do not require wrapping. Dairy Products & Eggs · Most dairy products have a use by date on the outer packaging which informs the recommended temperature and shelf life of the product. [. . . ] Remove the power cord plug from the power socket and leave all doors open. WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE Before you call for service, check the following point . IT IS NORMAL for the refrigerator to produce the following sounds. · Loud noise produced by the compressor when operation starts --- Sound becomes quieter after a while. · Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor --- Operating sound produced immediately after automatic defrost operation. · Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound) --- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may become louder from time to time). · Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during cooling.
