Storing Food; Care And Cleaning; What To Do Before You Call For Service - Sharp SJ-25P Manual De Manejo

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 fol-
lowing 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. 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
packaging which informs the recommended tempera-
ture and shelf life of the product.
• Eggs should be stored on the Egg pocket.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
• Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plas-
tic 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 split-
ting or cracks occurring.
When cleaning all plastic parts in-
side this fridge freezer, only use di-
luted dishwashing liquid(soapy wa-
ter). Make sure that all plastic parts
are thoroughly rinsed with water af-
ter 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 the Magnetic door seal with a toothbrush and
warm soapy dishwashing water.
5.Whenever the fridge freezer is moved to clean or re-
positioned, the Evaporating pan should be removed
and cleaned.
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.

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
following sounds.
• Loud noise produced by the compressor when opera-
tion 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 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 fridge freezer.
Do not place food di-
rectly 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;
How to remove
Move the Evaporating pan to
the left to pull it toward your-
self.
How to set
Set the Evaporating pan so
that the two protrusions on
the machine come through
its corresponding holes, and
move the pan to the right.
Please pay attention to the safety
since the compressor is very hot.
Make sure the back end of the
Evaporating pan rests securely on
the rail. Otherwise water will leak.
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 interior thoroughly.
Remove the power cord plug from the power socket and leave
all doors open.
• Cracking or crunching sound --- Sound produced by expan-
sion and contraction of inner walls and internal parts during
cooling.
• Squeaking sound --- Sound produced by expansion and con-
traction 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 prevent dew
generation.
