Care And Cleaning; What To Do Before You Call For Service - Sharp SJ-43L-A2 Operation Manual

CARE AND CLEANING

Some household cleaning chemicals may af-
fect the internal food liner and plastic shelves
resulting in splitting or cracks occurring.
When cleaning all plastic
parts inside this refrigerator,
only use diluted dishwashing
liquid(soapy water). Make
sure that all plastic parts are
thoroughly rinsed with water
after cleaning.
1.Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabi-
net and door. Wash them in warm soapy wa-
ter; rinse in clean water and dry.
2.Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm
soapy 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 water.
5.Whenever the refrigerator is moved to clean or
repositioned, the Evaporating pan should be
removed and cleaned.
NOTE:
• Do not use polishing powder, benzine, hot wa-
ter etc.
• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is
not wiped off thoroughly, cracking of plastic
parts can result.
• Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic compo-
nents as they can cause cracking of the plastic
surface.

the lamp bulb are correct when replacing. (Check
the label near the bulb.)
When replacing the lamp bulb, unplug the refrig-
erator to prevent electric shock.
Switching off your refrigerator
If you switch your refrigerator off when you are
going away for an extended period, remove all food,
clean the interior thoroughly. Remove the power
cord plug from the power socket and leave all doors
open.
• Loud noise produced once a day by the compres-
sor --- 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.
• Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expan-
sion and contraction of internal parts.
IT IS NORMAL that the outside of a cabinet may
be hot when touched. The hot pipe is in the cabi-
