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, 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.
• 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.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing
food.
Before you call for service, check the following points.
IF YOU STILL REQUIRE SERVICE
Refer to your nearest service agent approved by SHARP.
NOTE
The door cannot be changed to left-hand opening.
Problem Solution
The outside of a cabinet is hot
when touched.
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 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, squeaking sound
--- Sound produced by expansion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts
during cooling.
Frosting or dew generation
occurs 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 refrigerator temp. control set at 0°C?
• Is the refrigerator operated for a long time with freezer temp. control set at -21°C?
• Low ambient temperature may cause placed foods to freeze even if refrigerator
temp. control is set to 6°C.
It smells in the compartment. • Wrapping is required for the foods with strong smell.
• Deodorizing unit cannot remove all of smell.
