CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FREEZER
CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
•
The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen foods for the period of time indicated
on packaging and for making ice cubes..
•
Do not put fresh and warm food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in portions you will use in a single
serving.
•
For storing frozen foods, the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully.
If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
•
Maximum load: if you want to store large quantities of food and use the maximum net capacity of the freezer,
you can remove all the sliding drawers but you should keep the upper shelf flaps. Thanks to this, it is possible
to store bulky items directly on the shelves.’
•
When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing
is intact.
•
Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be
returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.
•
If a package of frozen food shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that 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 packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
If you would use maximum freezing capacity of your freezer:
•
While freezing fresh foods, the maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated
on the appliance label. (your refrigerator has the capacity to freeze 25 kg at 25°C ambient)
•
For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, activate Super Freeze (SF) mode 24
hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, 24 hours is generally sufficient for freezing. ”Super Freeze” mode will
be deactivated automatically in 2-3 days to save energy.
If you would freeze a small amount (up to 3 kg) in your freezer:
• Place your food without touching already frozen food and activate “Fast Freezing” mode. You can put your
food next to other frozen food after it is completely frozen (after minimum 24 hours).
•
Do not re-freeze frozen food after it has thawed. This may cause health issues, such as food poisoning.
•
Allow hot food to completely cool down before placing it in the freezer.
•
When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing
is intact.
Defrosting
Your freezer automatically defrosts. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes
through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporization container behind your freezer
and evaporates by itself in there.

CHAPTER -5: DOOR REVERSAL
Repositioning the door
•
It depends on which freezer you have as to whether it is possible the reverse the door.
•
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.
