Miele KF1911VI - Manual (Page 19)

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.
Placing food in the freezer
Food to be frozen can be placed
anywhere in the freezer section.
Use the large freezer basket for large
quantities of food.
Load bearing capacity of the baskets:

(33 kg)
KF 19X Vi/SF 41 lbs

94 lbs
(43 kg)
^ 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, make sure that
already frozen food does not come
into contact with fresh food being
frozen, this could cause the frozen
food to defrost.
