CARE AND CLEANING
Some household cleaning chemicals can cause cracks, splits or discolouration on the inside surface of the refrigerator and door liner. Only use diluted dishwashing liquid and ensure that all plastic is wiped with fresh water after cleaning.
Alkaline detergents may affect the
aluminium section of the door handle, causing it to tarnish.
1.Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing water; rinse in clean water and dry.
2.Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off soapy water.
3.Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is soiled.
4.Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and warm soapy dishwashing water.
5.Wipe the control panel with the dry cloth.
•If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result.
•Wipe any spills from the refrigerator immediately, acid or alkaline in the food can cause cracking and staining of plastic parts.
•The glass shelves weigh approximately 3 kg each. Hold firmly when removing from the cabinet or carrying.
•Wipe any spills from the control panel immediately, liquid ingress can damage the electronics.

3.Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4.Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly for air circulation.
NOTE:
•Do not use hot water, household cleaning powders, creams or spray on cleaning products, or any other cleaning products such as mineral turpentine, methylated spirits, thinners, petrol etc. These may damage your refrigerator and may void any warranty.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE 
It is normal for the refrigerator to produce sounds.
Due to the compact design of modern refrigerators, you may hear some squeaking, popping, crackling or gurgling sounds from time to time, particularly during automatic defrosting. These sounds are quite normal, and are generally caused by the compact design, range of operating temperatures and the different rates of expansion and contraction of the various materials used.
It is normal for the outside of the cabinet to feel hot.
This is due to the compact inbuilt pipes carrying hot gases, the hot pipes also prevent dew formation.
If you still require service contact your SHARP approved service centre.
