Door Open Alarm Function

If the cooler or freezer door is opened for more than 2 minutes, the appliance sounds 'beep beep'.

Warnings About Temperature Adjustments

It is not recommended that you operate your fridge in environments colder than 10°C.
Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the fridge, and the ambient temperature of the placement of your fridge.
Your fridge should be operated for up to 24 hours according to the ambient temperature without interruption after being plugged in, this is so it is completely cooled. Do not open the doors of your fridge and do not place food inside it during this period.
A 5-minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your fridge when you take the plug out and then plug it back in again after an energy breakdown has occurred. Your fridge will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
Your fridge is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. We do not recommend operating your fridge out of the stated temperature value limits in terms of cooling effectiveness.
This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 10°C - 43°C range.

Climate Class and Meaning:

T (tropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43 °C.
ST (subtropical): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C.
N (temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C.
SN (extended temperate): This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C.

Important Installation Instructions

This appliance is designed to work in difficult climate conditions (up to 43 degrees C or 110 degrees F) and is powered with 'Freezer Shield' technology, which ensures that the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. So you may then install your appliance in an unheated room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may continue using the appliance as usual.

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 the temperature has not been set properly.

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 on the bottom wall of 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.

Store Food in the Coldest Area of the Refrigerator

Your food will be better stored if you put it 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

Freezer Box

The freezer box is for foods that need to be accessed more easily.
Removing The freezer box: Pull the box out as far as possible, then pull the front of the box up and out.
! Make the inverse of the same operation for resetting the sliding compartment.

Note: Always hold the handle of the box while moving it in or out.

Chiller Shelf (In some models)

Keeping food in the chiller compartment instead of the freezer or refrigerator compartment allows food to retain freshness and flavour longer while preserving its fresh appearance. If the chiller tray becomes dirty, remove it and wash with water. (Water freezes at 0 °C, but foods containing salt or sugar require lowered temperatures to freeze)

Normally, people use the chiller compartment for raw fish, rice, etc...

Do not put foods you want to freeze or ice trays in order to make ice.

Removing the Chiller Shelf

Pull the chiller shelf out toward you by sliding it on rails.
Pull the chiller shelf up from the rail to remove.

After the chiller shelf has been removed, it can support a maximum 20 kg load.

Humidity Controller

When the humidity controller is in the closed position, it allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored for a longer time. In the event the crisper is full, the fresh dial that is located in front of the crisper should be opened. By means of this, the air in the crisper and humidity rate will be controlled, and the shelf life will be extended. If you see any condensation on the glass shelf, the humidity control should be placed into the open positions.

Adapti-Lift Door Shelf (In some models)

Six different height adjustments can be made to provide storage areas that you need by Adapti-Lift.

To change the position of Adapti-Lift:

Hold the bottom of the shelf and pull the buttons on the side of the door shelf in the direction of the arrow (Fig.1). Position the door shelf to the height you need by moving it up and down. After you get the position that you want the door shelf, release the buttons on the side of the door shelf (Fig.2). Before releasing the door shelf, move it up and down and make sure the door shelf is fixed.

Note: Before moving a loaded door shelf, you must hold the shelf by supporting the bottom. Otherwise, the door shelf could fall off the rails due to the weight, so damage may occur on the door shelf or rails.

Adapti-Shelf (In some models)

The Adapti-shelf mechanism provides higher storage spaces with a simple movement.

To cover the glass shelf, push it. (Fig. 1)
You can place your food as you want in the resulting extra space. (Fig. 2)
To bring the shelf to its original position, pull it toward you. (Fig. 1)

Visual and text descriptions on the accessories section may vary according to which model you have.

Cleaning

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 a washing machine.
Never use flammable, explosive, or corrosive material like thinner, gas, or acid for cleaning.
You should clean the condenser with a broom at least once a year to provide energy saving and increase 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.

Chapter 4: Food Storage Guidance

Refrigerator Compartment

To reduce humidity and consequently increase frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and, in time, will require more frequent defrosting.
Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
Nothing should touch the back wall as this will cause frost, and the packages may stick to the back wall. Do not open the refrigerator door too frequently.
Arrange the meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment (that is above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and will ensure the best storing conditions.
You can put fruits and vegetables into the crisper without packing.

Freezer Compartment

Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing frozen food for a long time and for producing ice.
To get maximum capacity for the freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for the upper and middle sections. For the bottom section, please use the lower basket.
For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, set the refrigerator at 4 °C for 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
After placing fresh food into the freezer, change the setting to 2 °C for 24 hours; this is generally sufficient. After 24 hours, you can reduce the setting if required.
Please do not place the food you want to freeze next to the already frozen food.
You should freeze the food to be frozen (meat, minced meat, fish, etc.) by dividing it into portions in such a way that they can be consumed once.
Please do not refreeze the frozen food once it has already thawed. It may pose a danger to your health as it may cause food poisoning.
Do not place hot meals in your deep freeze before they become cold. You would cause the other food frozen beforehand in the deep freeze to become putrefied.
When you buy frozen food, make sure that it was frozen under appropriate conditions and that the package is not torn.
While storing frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly be observed. If there is no additional information, the food must be consumed within the shortest time possible.
If the frozen food package was subject to humidity and has a foul smell, it might have been previously stored under unsuitable conditions and gone rotten. Do not purchase this type of food!
The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the ambient temperature, the frequency of the opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food type, and the time elapsed from the purchase time of the food to the time it is placed into the freezer. Always follow the instructions on the package and never exceed the indicated storage duration.
During long-lasting power failures, do not open the door of the deep freeze compartment. During longer power failures, do not refreeze your food and consume it as soon as possible.
Please note: if you want to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, it will not open easily. This is a normal occurrence. After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will open easily.

Important Note

Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just as 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, basil, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a stronger taste when they are stored for a long period. Therefore, just a small amount of the spice should be added, or the desired spice should be added after the food has been thawed.
The food storage period is dependent on the oil used. Suitable oils include: margarine, half fat, olive oil, and butter. Unsuitable oils include: peanut oil and lard.
The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups, and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.
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 foods below 0 °C are iced and rotted; bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately; wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.
Meat, fish, etc. should be stored in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is preferred for vegetables (if available).
To prevent cross-contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.

Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closedHere is the JSON requested:Models: SJ-BA10DMXWF-EN, Fridge Freezer, SJ-BA10DMXWF-EN Fridge Freezer, Freezer
