Freezing And Storing Food; Maximum Freezing Capacity; Freezing Food; Before Placing Food In The Freezer - Miele FNS37492iE Operating And Installation Instructions

Freezing and storing food

Always follow USDA guidelines on
food safety.
WARNING!
Danger of fire
Do not use electrical appliances
inside the food storage
compartments of the appliance,
unless they are of the type
recommended by the manufacturer.

Maximum freezing capacity

To ensure that fresh food placed in the
freezer freezes through to the core as
quickly as possible, the maximum
freezing capacity must not be
exceeded. The maximum freezing
capacity for freezing within a 24-hour
period is given on the data plate:
"Freezing capacity ....Ibs/24 hrs."

Freezing food

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
as possible so that the nutritional value
of the food, its vitamin content,
appearance and flavor are maintained.
Never re-freeze partially or fully
defrosted food. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.

Before placing food in the freezer

^ When freezing more than
4.5 lb (2 kg) of fresh food, turn on the
SuperCool function some time before
placing food in the freezer (see
"Using SuperCool").
This helps food which is already
stored in the freezer to remain frozen.

Placing food in the freezer

The following maximum loading
weights must not be exceeded:
– Top freezer drawer = 11 lb (5 kg)
– Freezer drawer = 55 lb (25 kg)
– Shelf = 77 lb (35 kg)
Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food as this will cause frozen
food to begin to thaw.
^ When placing items in the freezer,
ensure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
from sticking together when frozen.
– Freezing small amounts of food
Place the food in the upper freezer
drawers.
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of
the freezer drawer so that it freezes
through to the core as quickly as
possible.
