Food Storage
Loading unfrozen food
1. Before freezing large quantities of food, turn
Temperature Control to highest setting and let
freezer operate for several hours. After loading
all load items, return Temperature Control to
the usual setting.
2. To speed freezing in a chest freezer, place
unfrozen packages near a side wall. Leave
spacebetween packages.

Foods to be frozen near side walls
3. To speed freezing in an upright freezer, lay
packages in a single layer so each rests on the
surface of a shelf. Leave space between
packages.
4. Add more unfrozen food after first load is frozen
(approximately 18 to 24 hours). In a chest
freezer, stack frozen packages in the center.
Storing frozen food
After food is frozen, stock packages anywhere in
the freezer. Packages should not extend above the
cabinet edge in a chest freezer, or beyond the
shelf edge in an upright freezer. Such package
placement may keep the lid or door from closing
and sealing properly.
Baskets - Store small packages here to avoid
losing them in the bottom of a chest freezer.
Trivet - Store heavy and bulky packages here in
an upright freezer. Trivet should be in place at all
times for proper air circulation.
Door storage - Store packages on the door
shelves behind the retaining bar.
Juice can shelves - Store juice cans on door
as shown.
