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.
•
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.
