CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
Refrigerator compartment
•
To reduce frost build up never place liquids with unsealed containers in the fridge compartment.
•
Allow warn or hot food to cool down before storing. This helps reduce power consumption.
•
To avoid frost buildup ensure that nothing is stored touching the back wall.
•
The coldest area of the refrigerator is at the bottom. We recommend to use this area to store food that will perish
easily, such as fish, ready meals, baked goods or dairy products. The warmest area is the top shelf of the door.
We recommend you store butter or cheese here.
Freezer compartment
•
Use the freezer to store frozen foods for long periods of time and make ice cubes.
•
If you are going to use the refrigerator with maximum freezing capacity:
* Place the foods that you want to freeze to the top basket of the freezer department without exceeding the
freezing capacity of your refrigerator.
* While you use Super Freeze Mode , you mustn't storage an exist foozen food near the fresh foods that you
want to freeze.
Then enable the “Super Freeze” mode again. You may place your food next to the other frozen food after they
are frozen (for at least 24 hours after the 2nd activation of the “Super Freeze” mode).
•
To freeze fresh food - ensure that as much of the surface of food to be frozen is in contact with the cooling
surface.
•
Do not put fresh food on either side of frozen food as it can thaw it.
• While freezing fresh foods(i.e meat,fish and mincemeat),divide into portion sizes.
•
Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to consume them in a short
period of time.
•
Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
•
The instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully and if no information is
provided food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
•
When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing
is intact.
•
Frozen foods should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be
stored in the freezer as soon as possible.
•
If a package of frozen food shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling it has been previously stored at an
unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
•
The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is
opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home.
Always follow the instructions printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
That;
If you decide to open the freezer door again immediately after closing, it may be difficult to re-open. This is normal
and after the freezer has reached an equilibrium condition the door will open easily.
Important note:
•
Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like 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, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger,
garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they
are stored for a long period. Therefore, only add a small amount of spice if planning to freeze, or the desired
spice should be added after the food has been thawed.
•
The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and
butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
•
The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be frozen in plastic folios or
bags.
CHAPTER -5: DOOR REVERSAL
Repositioning the door
•
It depends on which fridge freezer you have as to whether it is possible the reverse the doors.
•
It is not possible where handles are attached at the front of the appliance.
•
If your model does not have handles it is possible to reverse the doors, but this needs to be completed by
authorised personnel. Please call Sharp service.
