CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE
Defrosting
• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator during operation; water is collected by the evaporating tray
and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and the defrost water drain hole should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from
collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator.
Replacing LED Lighting
If your fridge has LED lighting contact the Sharp help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel only.
CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
• 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.
• 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 store 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 closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.
