PLASMACLUSTER(ON/OFF) button

Notes about PLASMACLUSTER operation

The ionizer inside your refrigerator releases clusters of ions, which are collective masses of positive and negative ions, into the freezer and refrigerator compartment.

These ion clusters inactivate airborne mold fungus.

- There may be a slight odors in the refrigerator. This is the smell of ozone generated by the ionizer. The amount of ozone is minimal, and quickly decomposes in the refrigerator.

DEODORIZING UNIT

A built-in unit which requires no manual operation because it automatically starts operating when the refrigerator is powered on.

DEFROSTING

Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving system. Whereby the defrost cycle start time is proportional to the running time of your refrigerator compressor, i. e., the less time the refrigerator compressor operates (during the winter season or you're away on holidays), the longer the time between each defrost cycle.

STORING FOOD

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To maximize the shelf life of perishable food products, ensure that the food is of 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 Vegetable crisper. Those fruits and vegetables with thick skins e.g. oranges do not require wrapping.

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, fish, 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 efficiently.
• H ot 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.

Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.

IN OUT

FOR BEST FREEZING

• Q uality of foods should be fresh.
- F 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.
- E venly place the food in the freezer.
- Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing food.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

Before you call for service, check the following point.

IT IS NORMAL for the refrigerator to produce the following sounds.

• Loud noise produced by the compressor when operation starts --- Sound becomes quieter after a while.
• Loud noise produced once a day by the compressor --- Operating sound produced immediately after automatic defrost operation.

• Sound of flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound) --- Sound of refrigerant flowing in pipes (sound may become louder from time to time).

• Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during cooling.

• Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of internal parts.

IT IS NORMAL that the outside of a cabinet may be hot when touched. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew generation.

IF YOU STILL REQUIRE SERVICE

Refer to your nearest service agent approved by SHARP.
