Storing Food - Sharp SJ-XP400PG Operation Manual

STORING FOOD

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
To maximize the shelf life of perishable foods, ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality.
The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.
Fruit / Vegetables
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be
loosely enclosed in a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags
(do not seal) and place in the vegetable crisper.
Dairy Products & Eggs
• Most dairy products have their best-before date on
the outer packaging which informs the recommended
temperature and shelf life of the foods.
• Eggs should be stored in the Egg holder.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
• Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper or plastic
wrap.
• For larger cuts of meat, fish, or poultry, place to the rear of
the shelves.
• Ensure all cooked food is wrapped securely or placed in an
airtight container.
For best freezing
• Quality of foods should be fresh.
• Freeze small quantities of food at a time in order to freeze
them quickly.
• Food should be properly sealed tightly or covered.
• Place foods in the freezer evenly.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of freezing
food.
Tips for saving energy
■ Keep the ventilation space as much as possible
around the refrigerator.
■ Keep your refrigerator out of direct sunlight,
and do not place next to heat generating
appliance.
■ Avoid opening the door as much as possible.
■ Hot foods should be cooled before storing.
■ Place the food evenly on the shelves to allow
the cooling air to circulate efficiently.
Do not place food directly in front of cold air
outlet. This may lead to the food freezing.
NOTE
• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the cooling air
to circulate efficiently.
• Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Storing hot
foods increases the temperature in the unit and increases
the risk of food spoilage.
• Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating
circuit with foods or containers; otherwise the foods will not
be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
• Keep the door securely closed.

• The amount of power consumption of this
model is measured with these accessories
taken out as indicated on the right picture.
• The amount of power consumption
of this model is measured under
