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 12 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.

Load bearing capacity of the baskets:

	Small basket	Large basket
F 18X1Vi/SF	72 lbs(33 kg)	72 lbs(33 kg)
F 19X1Vi/SF	94 lbs(43 kg)	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, try not to let frozen food come into contact with unfrozen food, this could cause the frozen food to defrost.

Defrosting

Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways:

• in a microwave oven,
• at room temperature,
  – in the refrigerator (the cold given off by the frozen food helps to keep the other food cold),
• in a steam oven.

Poultry It is especially important to observe proper hygiene when defrosting poultry. Never save the liquid from defrosted poultry. Drain it away and promptly wash the container, the sink and your hands. Danger of salmonella poisoning.

Fruit should be defrosted at room temperature in its packaging, or in a covered bowl.

Most vegetables can be cooked while still frozen. Simply place directly into boiling water or hot oil.

Cooling drinks quickly

To cool drinks quickly, switch on the SuperCool function, see "SuperCool" for more information.

Do not leave bottles in the freezer for more than 1 hour, closed containers could burst.

Freezing tips

- The following are examples of foods suitable for freezing:

Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, pastry/dough, leftovers, and a range of pre-cooked meals.

- The following examples of foods not suitable for freezing:

Lettuce, radishes, sour cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears.

- To retain color, taste and vitamin C, vegetables should be trimmed, washed, and blanched.

To blanch: bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, then submerge the vegetables in rapidly boiling water for 2-3 minutes, depending on type.

Remove, and plunge into ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain and pack for freezing.

- Lean meat freezes better than fatty meat, and can be stored for considerably longer.

- To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or rolled meats from freezing together in solid blocks when packed, separate with a sheet of plastic freezer wrap.

- Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Cooked food can be lightly seasoned before freezing, but care should be taken as the taste of some spices alters when frozen.

- Do not place hot foods or drinks in the freezer. This causes already frozen food to thaw, and increases the energy consumption considerably. Allow hot foods and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer.

Packing tips

■ Unsuitable packing material

• wrapping paper
• greaseproof paper
• cellophane
• garbage bags
• plastic shopping bags

Suitable packing material

• plastic freezer bags/wrap
• aluminum foil
• freezer containers

■ To help prevent freezer burn, expel as much air as possible from bags, etc., before sealing them.
■ Close the packaging tightly with

- plastic clips

- twist ties

- rubber bands

■ Mark the package to indicate the contents and the date of freezing.

When the SuperCool function is activated, the appliance is cooled as cold as possible (to a factory-preset temperature).

SuperCool

The SuperCool function is ideal for freezing large quantities of unfrozen food. Ideally the function should be switched on 4 - 6 hours before the food is placed in the freezer.

If the max. freezing capacity is used,

24 hours are recommended.

This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavor and appearance.

Switching on SuperCool

super

■ Touch the SuperCool sensor so that it turns yellow.

The temperature now begins to fall, with maximum cooling performance.

The new temperature setting appears in the display -22^ ( -30^ ).

For the automatic ice cube maker to operate, it must be connected to the household water supply. See "Plumbing".

Turning on the ice cube maker

Make sure that the ice cube container is under the ice cube maker, as far as possible.

Ice cubes will not be produced unless the container is completely closed.

■ Touch the sensor button for the ice cube maker so that it turns yellow.

As soon as the freezer has cooled to a freezing temperature, the ice cube tray fills with water. Cold air is blown directly over the tray.

As soon as the ice cubes are frozen, they fall into the ice cube container.

The ice cube maker can produce approx. 140 ice cubes within 24 hours.

After the appliance is turned on for the very first time, it can take up to 10 hours for the first ice cubes to drop out of the ice cube maker and collect in the container.

Once the ice cube container is full, the ice cube maker switches off automatically.

Do not use the ice cube container for rapid cooling of food or drinks. The ice cube maker may become blocked and be damaged.

Do not use the first batch of ice cubes from the ice cube maker. Discard the ice produced in the first 24 hours after switching on the ice cube maker. This applies for the very first use, and whenever the appliance has been out of service for an extended period of time.

The amount of ice cubes produced depends on the temperature in the freezer section. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes will be produced in a given period of time.

Turning off the ice cube maker

The water supply line must be shut off several hours before the appliance or ice cube maker is switched off.

■ Touch the sensor button for the ice cube maker so that it turns white.

The freezer defrosts automatically.

The moisture generated in the appliance collects in the evaporator. It is automatically defrosted and dissipated by the condenser periodically.

This automatic defrosting system enables the freezer to remain permanently ice-free, while ensuring that the food stored in the freezer stays frozen.

The appliance comes with a UL-listed, 3-wire power supply cord.

The appliance requires a 3-wire receptacle.

The receptacle must be installed by a licensed electrician only.

In the case of side-by-side installations, a separate outlet must be used for each appliance. Ideally, the power outlet should be next to the appliance and easily accessible. Do not connect the appliance to the power supply by an extension cord. Extension cords do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (danger of overheating).

If any changes are needed to the household wiring or power supply, this work must be performed by a qualified electrician.

Miele's RemoteVision Wi-Fi technology creates a 'virtual link' between your appliance and our monitoring center. If a fault occurs, Miele's client service center will be notified and contact you, or another trusted individual identified on your call roster, in order to gain access to your appliance to fix the problem.

For information on set-up and installation of the RemoteVision module see the "Installation" section of this manual.
