Using the freezer efficiently 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: KF 18X Vi/SF KF 19X Vi/SF Small basket 30 lbs (14 kg) 41 lbs (19 kg) Large basket 72 lbs (33 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, make sure that already frozen food does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen, this could cause the frozen food to defrost. 19
