Storing Food; Care And Cleaning; What To Do Before You Call For Service - Sharp SJ-P68M Manual Del Usuario

STORING FOOD

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage. To maxi-
mize 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 pack-
aging 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

Some household cleaning chemicals
may affect the inside surfaces and
plastic shelves resulting in splitting
or cracks occurring.
When cleaning all plastic parts in-
side this fridge freezer, only use di-
luted dishwa shing liqu id(soapy
water). Make sure that all plastic
parts are thoroughly rinsed with wa-
ter after cleaning.
1. Remove the shelves and pockets from the cabinet
and door. Wash them in warm soapy dishwashing
water; rinse in clean water and dry.
2. Clean the inside with a cloth soaked in warm soapy
dishwashing water. Then, use cold water to wipe off
soapy water
3. Wipe the exterior with a soft cloth each time it is
soiled.
4. Clean Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and
warm soapy dishwashing water.
5. Evaporating pan should be removed and cleaned
once a year.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

Before you call for service, check the following point.
IT IS NORMAL for the fridge freezer to produce the follow-
ing 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).

NOTE:
• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling
air to circulate efficiently.
• Hot foods should be cooled before stor-
ing. Storing hot foods increases the tem-
perature 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 fridge
freezer.
• Do not place food directly in front of cold
air outlet. This may lead to the food
freezing.
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.
Evaporating pan & cover;
How to remove
NOTE:
• Do not use polishing powder, benzine, hot water etc.
• If undiluted detergent is used or soapy water is not wiped
off thoroughly, cracking of plastic parts can result.
• Wipe any food oils adhered to plastic components as they
can cause cracking of the plastic surface.
• The glass shelves weighs approximately 3kg each. Hold
firmly when removing from the cabinet or carrying.
Switching off your fridge freezer
If you switch your fridge freezer off when you are going
away for an extended period, remove all food, clean the in-
terior thoroughly. Remove the power cord plug from the
power socket and leave all doors open.
• Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound produced by ex-
pansion 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 pre-
vent dew generation.
