ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE. Nordmende RUF148WHA+

• It is not recommended that you operate your freezer in environments colder than 10°C.

• The temperature setting should be set by taking into consideration how often the freezer door is opened and closed, how much food is stored in the freezer and the environment in which and the positioning of the appliance.

• We recommend that when first using the freezer it should be left running for 24 hours uninterrupted to ensure it is completely cooled. Do not open the freezer door, or put food inside for this period.

• Your freezer has a 5 minute built in delay function, designed to prevent damage to the compressor. When power is applied to your freezer, it will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.

• Your freezer is designed to operate in the ambient temperature intervals stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended that your freezer is operated in the environments which are out of the stated temperature intervals in terms of cooling efficiency.

• This appliance is designed for use at an ambient temperature within the 10°C - 43°C range.

CHAPTER .3

ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE

• The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen foods for the period of time indicated on packaging and for making ice cubes.

• Do not put fresh and warm food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.

• While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in portions you will use in a single serving.

• For storing frozen foods, the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.

• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact.

• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.

• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.

• The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to be frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf’s greater freezing power.

Fast freezing shelves are the bottom drawers of the freezer compartment (see page

15).

• While freezing food use the bottom drawer.

Some recommendations have been specified on pages 9, 10 and 11 for the placement and storage of your food in the deep freeze compartment.
