Caution - Sharp SJ-16V Operation Manual

CAUTION

1. Do not touch the compressor unit or its pe-
ripheral parts, as they become extremely hot
during operation and the metal edges may
cause injury.
2. If the power supply is accidentally discon-
nected, please wait for at least 6 minutes be-
fore re-connecting the power, as back pres-
sure in the compressor may trip the overload
relay.
3. Avoid removing food from the freezer with your
bare hands. Directly touching products stored
at sub-zero temperatures can result in frost-
bite.
4. To prevent accidental power disconnection,
plug the refrigerator directly to the source. Do
not use a double adaptor as loss of power could
lead to the spoiling of the stored food.
5. Do not place bottles in the freezer as they may
crack when frozen.
6. Keep the door securely closed. If the door is
left ajar, the controlled inner temperature will
rise, resulting in food spoilage and increase in
electricity costs.
7. Do not install the refrigerator in a damp or wet
location as this may cause damage to the in-
sulation and a leak. Condensation may also
build on the outer cabinet and cause rust.
8. When installing or moving the refrigerator,
make sure that you do not nip or kink the power
cord. Damage of the power cord may cause
electric shock or fire.
9. Do not use this refrigerator when the power
cord or plug is damaged, or the outlet attach-
ment is loose, as they may cause electric shock
or fire.
10. Disconnect from the mains electricity supply
by removing the mains plug from the electric-
ity supply socket. Do not remove by pulling the
mains lead. This may cause electric shock or
fire.
11. Make sure that you leave adequate ventilation
space around the refrigerator to prevent the
compressor from overheating and stopping.
Please follow the instructions given for instal-
lation.
12. Should the flexible supply cord be damaged, it
must be replaced by service agent approved
by SHARP as a special cord is required.
13. In case of gas leak, ventilate the area by open-
ing a window, etc. Do not touch the refrigera-
tor or the power outlet.
14. Do not place heavy or easily broken objects
on top of the refrigerator. Objects may fall when
opening or closing the refrigerator, causing in-
jury.
15. Do not place objects containing liquid on top of
the refrigerator. Spillage may cause electric
shock or fire.
16. Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or
strike the inner wall. This may cause the inner
surface to crack.
17. This refrigerator is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons without su-
pervision. Young children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the refrig-
erator.
