CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
• You should freeze the food to be frozen (meat, minced meat, fish, etc.) by dividing it into portions in such a way
that they can be consumed once.
• Please do not refreeze the frozen food once it has already thawed. It may pose a danger to your health as it
may cause food poisoning.
• Do not place the hot meals in your deep freeze before they become cold. You would cause the other food frozen
beforehand in the deep freeze to become putrefied.
• When you buy frozen food, makes sure that they were frozen under appropriate conditions and that the
package is not torn.
• While storing frozen food, the storage conditions on the package should certainly be observed. If there is no
additional information, the food must be consumed within the shortest time possible.
• 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.
