STORING FOOD
.
Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To maximize
the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure that the food
is 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 fruit and vegetable crisper.
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,
fi
sh, 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 ef
fi
ciently.
•
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
refrigerator.
•
Keep the door securely closed.
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 and enclose in
.
•
Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing
food.
CARE AND CLEANING
.
WARNING
Unplug the refrigerator
fi
rst to prevent electric
shock.
Do not splash water directly on the outer cabinet
or the interior. This may lead to rusting and
deterioration of the electrical insulation.
IMPORTANT
To prevent cracking on inside surfaces and plastic
containers, follow these tips.
•
Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic containers.
•
Some household chemicals may cause damage, so use
only diluted washing-up liquid (soapy water).
•
If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped off
thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result.
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
Wipe the control panel with the dry cloth.
NOTE
•
To prevent damage to your refrigerator, do not use heavy duty
cleansers or solvents (lacquer, paint, polishing powder, benzene,
boiled water, etc.).
•
If the power supply is disconnected, please wait for at least
5
minutes before re-connecting power.
•
The glass shelves weigh approximately
3
kg each. Hold
fi
rmly
when removing from the cabinet or carrying.
•
When dropped the juice and the like near the control panel,
wipe off directly. It becomes cause of failure of the control panel.
•
Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the inner
wall. This may cause the inner surface to crack.
Defrosting
Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving
system.
When the light is blown
Contact the service agent approved by SHARP to request a
replacement compartment light.
Switching off your refrigerator
If you switch your refrigerator off when you are going away for
an extended period, remove all food, clean the interior
