CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER
• Make sure to unplug the fridge before starting to clean it.
• Do not wash your fridge by pouring water.
• You can wipe the inner and outer sides with a soft cloth or a sponge using warm and soapy water.
• Remove the parts individually and clean with soapy water. Do not wash in washing machine.
• Never use flammable, explosive or corrosive material like thinner, gas, acid for cleaning.
• You should clean the condenser with broom at least once a year in order to provide energy saving and increase
the productivity.
Make sure that your fridge is unplugged while cleaning.
Defrosting
Your refrigerator automatically defrosts. The water formed as a result of defrosting passes
through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporization container behind your
refrigerator and evaporates by itself in there.
Replacing LED Lighting
If your fridge freezer has LED lighting contact the Sharp help desk as this should be changed by authorized personnel
only.

CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE

Refrigerator compartment

• To reduce the humidity and consequently increase frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the
refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporator and, in time, will require more
frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperature and should
be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
• Nothing should touch the back wall as this will cause frost and the packages may stick to the back wall. Do not
open the refrigerator door too frequently.
• Arrange the meat and cleaned fish(wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you will use in 1-2 days, in
the bottom section of the refrigerator compartment (that is above the crisper) as this is the coldest section and
will ensure the best storing conditions.
• You can put fruits and vegetables into the crisper without packing.
• For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are iced
and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase
the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.
• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is
preferred for vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.

Freezer compartment

• Please use the deep freeze compartment of your refrigerator for storing frozen food for a long time and for
producing ice.
• To get maximum capacity for the freezer compartment, please just use glass shelves for upper and middle
section. For the bottom section, please use lower basket.
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, Set the refrigerator at 4
hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
• After placing fresh food into the freezer, change the setting to 2
hours, you can reduce the setting if required.
• Please do not place the food you that needs to be frozen next to the already frozen food.
• You should freeze the food to be frozen (meat, minced meat, fish, etc.) by dividing it into portions in such a way
that they can be consumed once.
• Please do not refreeze the frozen food once it has already thawed. It may pose a danger to your health as it
may cause food poisoning.
• Do not place the hot meals in your deep freeze before they become cold. You would cause the other food frozen
beforehand in the deep freeze to become putrefied.
• When you buy frozen food, makes sure that they were frozen under appropriate conditions and that the
package is not torn.
• While storing frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly be observed. If there is no
additional information, the food must be consumed within the shortest time possible.
