Using The Freezer Efficiently; Freezing Food - Miele F1471SF Operating And Installation Manual

Freezing food

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
as possible. This helps maintain the
nutritional value, vitamin content,
appearance and taste of the food.
Never refreeze partially or fully
defrosted food. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible, it will lose its
nutritional value and spoil if left for too
long. Do not refreeze defrosted food
unless it has been cooked.
Before placing food in the freezer
^ When you are planning to freeze
large amounts of food (more than
4 ½ lbs [2 kg]), switch on the
SuperCool function ahead of time
(see "SuperCool").
This will provide the food already in
the freezer with a protective boost of
cold air.

Using the freezer efficiently

Placing food in the freezer
Food to be frozen can be placed
anywhere in the freezer.
The freezer baskets can hold a
maximum of 35 lbs (16 kg) of frozen
food.
^ Spread the food to be frozen across
the bottom of the freezer basket or
across the shelves, so that it will
freeze through to the core as quickly
as possible.
^ When placing items in the freezer,
make sure the packaging and
containers are dry, to keep them from
sticking together when frozen.
When freezing, try not to let frozen
food come into contact with
unfrozen food, this could cause the
frozen food to defrost.
