CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
• Once the unit has been defrosted replace the foods into freezer and remember to consume them in a short
period of time.
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
• The instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully and if no information is
provided food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• When buying frozen foods ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing
is intact.
• Frozen foods should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be
stored in the freezer as soon as possible.
• If a package of frozen food shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling it has been previously stored at an
unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is
opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home.
Always follow the instructions printed on the package and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
That; If you decide to open the freezer door again immediately after closing, it may be difficult to re-open. This is normal
and after the freezer has reached an equilibrium condition the door will open easily.
Important note:
• Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just like fresh foods. If they are not cooked after being thawed
they must NEVER be re-frozen.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger,
garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they
are stored for a long period. Therefore, only add a small amount of spice if planning to freeze, or the desired
spice should be added after the food has been thawed.
• The storage period of food is dependent on the oil used. The suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and
butter and the unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and the other food should be frozen in plastic folios or
bags.
In some models; while loading the freezing compartment, the loading lines should not be passed.
Otherwise, the door might remain open. In case that the freezing compartment door is left open,
snow formation might occur in the freezing compartment. The problem shall not repeat itself after
the snowed part is cleaned and it is made certain that its door is fully closed.
Also, not closing the freezing and/or cooling compartment door would increase your energy
consumption.
With putting the foods onto the air suction hole by extracting the the lower shelf located
at freezer door, will affect the performance of the fridge, negatively. Therefore, please be
careful while loading the freezer compartment in order not to close down the air suction
hole.
CHAPTER -5: DOOR REVERSAL
Repositioning the door
• It depends on which fridge freezer you have as to whether it is possible the reverse the doors.
• It is not possible where handles are attached at the front of the appliance.
• If your model does not have handles it is possible to reverse the doors, but this needs to be completed by
authorised personnel. Please call Sharp service.
