Storing food

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 vegetable case to minimize 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 pocket.

Meats / Fish / Poultry

• Place on a plate or a 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.

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.

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 airtight container or sealed tightly.

Note

• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling air to circulate efficiently.
• 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 foods is not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.

IN OUT Do not place food on shaded area. This may lead to the food freezing.

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

Care and cleaning

Important

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

• Wipe out food oil adhered to plastic parts.
• 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, it may result in cracks of plastic parts.

Cleaning

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

Note

• Do not use heavy-duty cleansers or solvents (lacquer, paint, polishing powder, benzine, boiled water, etc.) which may cause damages.
• If you pull out the power plug once, wait 5 minutes at least before connecting the power plug again.
• Do not drop objects inside the refrigerator or strike the inner wall. This may cause cracks to inner surface.

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 qualified service personnel.

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 mold:

1. Remove all food.
2. Remove the power plug from the socket.
3. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
4. Keep all the doors open slightly for a few days to dry.

Before you call for service

Before calling for service, check the following points.

Problem Solution
The outside of the cabinet is hot when touching.	It is normal. The hot pipe is in the cabinet in order to prevent dew generation.
When there is refrigerator noise.	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 flowing fluid (gurgling sound, fizzing sound)-- Sound of refrigerant flowing 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.
Frost or dew appears inside or outside the refrigerator.	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.)
The foods in the refrigerator compartment freeze.	Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with the temp. control knob set MAX?-- Change the temperature control to the other setting.If ambient temperature is low, foods may freeze even if the the temp. control knob is set MIN.
Odors in the compartment. • Wrapping is required for the foods with strong odors.Deodorizing unit cannot remove all odors.

If you still require service

Refer to your nearest service agent approved by SHARP.
