CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
CHAPTER -6: TROUBLESHOOTING
If your fridge freezer is not operating as expected, there may be a simple solution.
If your refrigerator is not working.
Check that ;
•
It is switched on at the mains ,
• The thermostat setting is on “•” position,
If the different compartments of the fridge do not get cold enough:Check that ;
•
You have not overloaded the appliance ,
•
The doors are closed perfectly ,
•
There is no dust on the condenser ,
•
There is enough space at the rear and side walls.
Your fridge freezer is too noisy.
The cooling gas which circulates in the refrigerator circuit may make a slight noise(bubbling sound) even when the
compressor is not running. Do not worry this is quite normal. If these sounds are different check that ;
The appliance is well levelled ,
•
Nothing is touching the rear.
If there is water in the lower part of the refrigerator ;
Check that ;
The drain hole for defrost water is not clogged insert a space please (Use defrost drain plug to clean the drain hole)
Recommendations
•
In instances of a power cut unplug the appliance. This prevents damage to the compressor. You should delay
plugging in 5 – 10 minutes after you regain power supply. This will avoid damage to components.
•
The cooling unit of your refrigerator is hidden in the rear wall. Therefore, water droplets or ice may occur on the
rear surface of your fridge due to the operation of the compressor in specified intervals. This is normal. There
is no need to perform a defrosting operation unless the ice is excessive.
• If you will not use your fridge for a long time (e.g. in summer holidays), put the thermostat to “•” position. After
defrosting, clean your fridge and leave the door open to prevent humidity and odor build up.
•
If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult an authorised service
provider.
•
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.
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.
