Placing Food In The Freezer - Miele F 2671 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions

Freezing and storing food
Before placing food in the
appliance
 When freezing more than 2 kg of
fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze
function some time before placing the
food in the freezer (see "Using
SuperFreeze").
This helps food which is already stored
in the freezer to stay frozen.

Placing food in the freezer

Food to be frozen can be placed
anywhere in the freezer, preferably in
the lowest freezer basket.
Place large quantities of food in the
large freezer basket.
 Place the food to be frozen flat in the
bottom of the basket so that it
freezes through to the core as quickly
as possible.
 Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
sticking together when frozen.
 Please follow the guidelines in the ta-
ble below regarding recommended
weights for the baskets:

Storage time for frozen food
The storage life of food varies greatly,
even when a constant temperature of
-18 °C is maintained. Even in frozen
products, degradation processes take
place, only at a much slower rate. For
example, fat can become rancid from
contact with oxygen in the air. Lean
meat can therefore be stored
approximately twice as long as fatty
meat.
The storage times quoted are guide
values for the storage life of different
food groups in the freezer.
