Storing Food - Sharp SJ-GV69G Operation Manual

Storing food

• Ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality to maximize the storage life of perishable food. The following is
a general guide to help promote longer food storage.
• Food has a limited storage life. Make sure not to exceed use-by date indicated by manufacturer.
Freezer
• 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.
Refrigerator
Fruit / Vegetables
• Fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in
a plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not seal) and
placed in the fruit and vegetable crisper to minimize
moisture loss.
• Fruits and vegetables which are easily effected by low
temperature should be stored in a cool place except for
the refrigerator.
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 pocket .
Meats / Fish / Poultry
• Place on a plate or a 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.
* Notes for fresh food compartment:
- Fresh food (securely wrapped) should be stored in
limited time to prevent spoilage and badly affecting
other stored foods.
Advice for preventing dew or
frost inside the refrigerator
• Keep the door securely closed. If the food falls down,
it may cause a gap between the cabinet and the door.
Move it back to the shelf or the pocket.
• Open and close the door quickly as much as possible.
Dew or frost may appear if the door is left open for a
long period of time or opening and closing of the door
is very often.
• Stored items should be packed or sealed with such as
food containers or plastic wraps. (Especially food with
high-moisture)
Tips for saving energy
• Install the refrigerator in a well-ventilated area and
keep the space to ventilate.
• Keep your refrigerator out of direct sunlight and do
not place it next to heat generating appliance.
• Avoid opening the door as much as possible.
• Hot food should be cooled before storing.
• Place the food evenly on the shelves to allow the
cool air to circulate ef ciently.
Advice for storing food
• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the
cooling air to circulate efficiently.
• Hot food should be cooled before storing. Storing hot
food increases the temperature in the unit and the risk
of food spoilage.
• Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air
circulating circuit with food or containers; otherwise the
food is not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
• Do not place food directly in front of cold air outlet. This
may lead to the food freezing.
