Miele KF 9757 iD - Manual (Page 34)

Before placing food in the freezer
section
^ When freezing more than 2 kg of
fresh food, switch on the Super
freeze function for some time before
placing the food in the freezer (see
"Super freeze").
This also helps to prevent food that is
already in the freezer from starting to
defrost.
Placing food in the freezer
Food to be frozen can be placed
anywhere in the freezer.
Large quantities can be placed directly
on the glass cold plate to freeze the
food quickly. To do this first take out
one or more of the freezer drawers.
Each drawer and the glass cold
plate can take a maximum of 25 kg.
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of
the drawers or on the glass cold
plate in the freezer 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.
When freezing, make sure that food
already frozen does not come into
contact with fresh food being frozen
as this could cause the frozen food
to begin to defrost.
Freezing large items
If you wish to freeze large items such
as a turkey or game, the glass cold
plate between the drawers can be
removed. To do this:
^ Remove the freezer drawers and
carefully lift and slide out the glass
cold plate.
Freezer calendar

drawer gives the length of time in
months which various foods can be
