CHAPTER -3: USING YOUR FRIDGE FREEZER
Cleaning
• Before cleaning your fridge freezer, turn your mains supply off and remove the plug from the socket.
• Do not wash your fridge freezer by pouring water on to it.
• Use a warm, soapy cloth or sponge to wipe the interior and exterior of your fridge freezer.
• Carefully remove all shelves and drawers by sliding upwards or outwards and clean with soapy water. Do not
wash in a washing machine or dishwasher.
• Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all purpose cleaning agents to clean your fridge
freezer. This may cause damage to the plastic surfaces and other components with the chemicals they contain.
• Clean the condenser at the back of your fridge freezer at least once a year with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
Make sure that your fridge is unplugged while cleaning.
Cleaning evaporation bowl
Your fridge defrosts automatically. Water produced by defrosting flows to the evaporating container passing through the
water collecting groove, and vaporizes here by itself.
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 GUIDE

Refrigerator Compartment
For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the cooler compartment to +4 or +6
• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the
refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance
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.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and packaging
will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just above the
vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli,
carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration
cycle before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking from meat
may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat products and clean any leakages
on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.
• 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
For normal operating conditions, set the temperature of the freezer compartment to -18 or -20
• The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen food, and for making ice cubes.
• If the freezer door has been left open for a long time or not closed properly, frost will form and can prevent
efficient air circulation. To resolve this, unplug the freezer and wait for it to defrost. Clean the freezer once it
has fully defrosted.
• Remove baskets, covers, and so on, to increase the storage volume of freezer.
• The freezer volume stated on the label is the volume without baskets, covers, and so on.
