CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
• If the frozen food package was subject to humidity and has a foul smell, it might have been previously stored
under unsuitable conditions and gone rotten. Do not purchase this type of food!
• The storage durations of frozen food change depending on the ambient temperature, the frequency of the
opening and closing of the doors, thermostat settings, food type and the time elapsed from the purchase time of
the food to the time it is placed into the freezer. Always follow the instructions on the package and never exceed
the indicated storage duration.
• During long lasting power failures, do not open the door of the deep freeze compartment. During longer power
failures, do not refreeze your food and consume it as soon as possible.
• Please note: if you want to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, it will not open easily. This is a
normal occurrence. After reaching equilibrium condition, the door will open easily.
Important note:
• Frozen foods, when thawed, should be cooked just as 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, basil, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger,
garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a stronger taste when
they are stored for a long period. Therefore, just a small amount of the spice should be added or the desired
spice should be added after the food has been thawed.
• The food storage period is dependent on the oil used. Suitable oils include: margarine, half fat, olive oil and
butter and the unsuitable oils include: peanut oil and lard.
• The food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and 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.
CHAPTER -6: TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are experiencing a problem with your refrigerator, please check the following before contacting the after-sales
service.
Your refrigerator does not operate
Check if:
• Your fridge is plugged in and switched on
• The fuse has blown
• The thermostat setting is on position '1'
• The socket is faulty. To check this, plug another working appliance into the same socket.
Your refrigerator is performing poorly
Check if:
• The appliance is overloaded
• The doors are closed properly
• There is any dust on the condenser
• There is an adequate distance between the appliance and surrounding walls
Your refrigerator is operating noisily
The following noises can be heard during normal operation of the appliance.
Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:
• During automatic defrosting.
• When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Clicking noise occurs: When the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.
Motor noise: Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The compressor may cause more noise for a short
time when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splashing occurs: Due to the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
Water flowing noise occurs: Due to water flowing to the evaporation container. This noise is normal during
defrosting.
Air blowing noise occurs: During normal operation of the system due to the circulation of air.
