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.
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.
•
Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
•
Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic
wrap.
•
For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear
of the shelves.
•
Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in
an airtight container.
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 fridge
freezer.
FOR BEST FREEZING
•
Quality of foods should be fresh.
•
Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze them
quickly.
•
Food should be properly stored or covered and the air
should be removed to seal tightly.
•
Evenly place the food in the freezer.
•
Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of
freezing food.
CARE AND CLEANING
Some household cleaning chemicals
may affect the inside surfaces and plastic
shelves resulting in splitting or cracks
occurring.
When cleaning all plastic parts inside this
fridge freezer, 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 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.
Whenever the fridge freezer is moved to clean or
repositioned, the Evaporating pan should be removed
and cleaned.
NOTE:
•
Do not use polishing powder, benzine, hot water 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 components as
they can cause cracking of the plastic surface.
•
The glass shelves weigh approximately 2kg each. Hold
firmly when removing from the cabinet or carrying.

Switching off your fridge freezer
If you switch your fridge freezer 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.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
Before you call for service, check the following points.
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.
•
Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expansion 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 cabinet in order to
prevent dew generation.
IF YOU STILL REQUIRE SERVICE
Refer to your nearest service agent approved by SHARP.
