Storing Food - Sharp SJ-16V Operation Manual

HINTS WHEN MAKING ICE
1. Do not over fill the Ice cube tray; other-
wise the ice cubes will be joined to-
gether when frozen.
2. When the ice cubes are made, hold the
Ice cube tray upside down whilst twist-
ing either end in opposite directions, al-
lowing the ice cubes to drop out.
NOTE:
To prevent damage to the Slide case, do not make ice in the Ice cube collecter of the Slide
case or pour oil into it.
DEFROSTING
Defrosting is fully automatic due to a unique energy saving system. Whereby the defrost cycle start time
is proportional to the running time of your refrigerator compressor, i. e., the less time the refrigerator
compressor operates (during the winter season or you're away on holidays), the longer the time between
each defrost cycle.
DEODORIZING UNIT
A built-in unit which requires no manual operation because it automatically starts operating when the refrig-
erator is powered on.

STORING FOOD

Refrigeration reduces the rate of food spoilage.
To maximize the shelf life of perishable food prod-
ucts, ensure that the food is of the freshest pos-
sible 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). Those fruits and
vegetables with thick skins e.g. oranges do not
require wrapping.
Dairy Products
• Most dairy products have a use by date on the
outer packaging which informs the recom-
mended temperature and shelf life of the prod-
uct.
Meats / Fish / Poultry
• Place on a plate or dish and cover with paper
or plastic wrap. Then, place in the Fresh case.
(only for SJ-18V)
• 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.
(Only for SJ-18V)
NOTE:
• Evenly place the food on the shelves to allow the
cooling air to circulate efficiently.
• Hot foods should be cooled before storing. Stor-
ing 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; other-
wise the foods will not be evenly cooled through-
out the refrigerator.
Do not place
food directly in
front of cold air
outlet. This may
lead to the food
freezing.
FOR BEST FREEZING
• Quality of foods should be fresh.
• Freeze small quantities of food at a time to freeze
them quickly.
• Food should be properly stored or covered and
the air should be removed to seal tightly.
• Evenly place the food in the freezer.
• Label bags or containers to keep an inventory of
freezing food.
