Storing food

Small foods Juice etc.

Bottles etc.

Frozen foods (Small size)

Frozen foods (Big size)

Fruits, Vegetables

Dairy products

Small foods Eggs etc.

Bottles etc. (Big size)

Meat, Fish, Poultry etc.

Vegetables are improper ● in this case. They may be frozen.

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.

Ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality to maximize the shelf life of perishable foods.

The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.

Fruit / Vegetables

Fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a

plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not seal) and placed

in the fruit and vegetable crisper to minimise moisture loss.

Dairy Products & Eggs

• Most dairy products have their best-before date on

the outer packaging which informs the recommended temperature and shelf life of the foods.

• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.

Meats / Fish / Poultry

• Place on a plate or a dish and cover with paper or plastic wrap.

• For larger cuts of meat, sh, or poultry, place to the rear

of the shelves.

• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in an airtight container.

Advice for preventing dew or frost inside the refrigerator

• Keep the door securely closed. If the food falls down, it may cause a gap between the cabinet and the door.

Move it back to the shelf or the pocket.

• Food with high-moisture should be stored in an airtight

container or sealed tightly.

Note

• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling air

to circulate efciently.

• Hot foods should be cooled

before storing. Storing hot foods increases the temperature in the unit and the risk of food spoilage.

• Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating circuit with foods or containers; otherwise the food will not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.

For best freezing

• Quality of foods should be fresh.

• Freeze small quantities of food at a time in order to freeze them quickly.

• Food should be properly sealed or covered tightly.

• Place foods in the freezer evenly.

• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing food.

Do not place food directly in front of cold the air outlet.

This may lead to the food freezing.

Care and cleaning

Important

To prevent cracks on the inside surfaces and plastic components, follow these tips.

• Wipe out food oil that has adhered to plastic parts.

• Some household chemicals may cause damage, so use only diluted washing-up liquid (soapy water).

• Wipe any spills from the refrigerator immediately as acid

or alkaline in the food can cause cracking and staining of plastic parts.

Cleaning

■ Remove the accessories (e.g. shelves) from the cabinet and the door. Wash them with warm soapy dishwashing water. After that, rinse them in clean water and dry.

(Only fruit and vegetable shelf is not removable.)

How to remove the fruit and vegetable crisper cover

Hole

Projection portion

■ Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off soapy water thoroughly.

■ Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it gets dirty.

■ Clean the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and warm soapy dishwashing water.

■ Wipe the control panel with a dry cloth.

Note

• Do not use hot water, household cleaning powders, creams or spray-on cleaning products, or any other cleaning products such as mineral turpentine, methylated spirits, thinners, petrol etc. These may damage your refrigerator and may void any warranty.

• If the power supply is disconnected, please wait at least 5 minutes before re-connecting power.

• The glass shelves weigh approximately 3 kg each. Hold them rmly when removing from the cabinet and carry.

• Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the

inner wall. This may cause cracks to the inner surface.

Before transporting

Wipe up water in the evaporating pan. Before wiping up the water, wait more than 1 hour after pulling out the

power plug because the refrigeration cycle equipment

is extremely hot.

(The evaporating pan is located on the rear of the

product.)

Evaporating pan

Switching off your refrigerator

If the refrigerator needs to be switched off for an extended period, the following steps should be taken to

reduce the growth of mould:

1. Remove all food.

2. Remove the power plug from the power point.

3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.

4. Ensure that all the doors are wedged open slightly for air circulation.

Defrosting

Defrosting is automatically operated by a unique energy

saving system.

When the compartment light is blown

Contact the service agent approved by SHARP to replace the light. The light is not to be replaced other

than by a qualied service personnel.

Tips for saving energy

■ Keep the ventilation space as much as possible around the refrigerator.

■ Keep your refrigerator out of direct sunlight, and do not place it next to a heat generating appliance.

■ Avoid opening the door as much as possible.

■ Hot foods should be cooled before storing.

■ Place the food evenly on the shelves to allow the cool air to circulate efciently.

Before you call for service

Before calling for service, check the following points.

Problem Solution

The outside of the cabinet is hot when touching.

When there is refrigerator noise.

Frost or dew appears inside or outside the refrigerator.

The foods in the refrigerator

compartment freeze.

Odours in the compartment. • Wrapping is required for the foods with strong odours.

If door alarm does not stop. • The alarm stops after the door is closed.

It is normal. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew generation.

It is normal for the refrigerator to make the following sounds.

• Loud noise is made by the compressor when its operation starts

-- Sound becomes quieter after a while.

• The compressor makes loud noise once a day.

-- Operating sound is made immediately after automatic defrost operation.

• Sound of owing uid (gurgling sound, zzing sound)

-- Sound of refrigerant owing in pipes (sound may become louder from time to time).

• Cracking or crunching sound, squeaking sound

-- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during cooling.

This may occur in one of the following cases. Use a wet cloth for wiping frost and a dry

cloth for wiping dew.

• When the ambient humidity is high.

• When the door is frequently opened and closed.

• When foods containing plenty of moisture are stored. (Wrapping is required.)

• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with refrigerator temperature control set at

0°C?

-- Change the temperature control back to around 3°C.

• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with freezer temperature control set at -21°C?

-- Change the temperature control back to around -18°C.

• If ambient temperature is low, foods may freeze even if the refrigerator compartment is set at 6°C.

• Deodorising unit cannot remove all odours.
