Food Storage Information

This freezer is designed for the long-term storage of freezer food.
Storage time is up to three months.
• The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage
time should not be exceeded. Follow package or container instructions
for proper food storage.
• Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after
purchase. If there are instructions on the package, carefully follow
these
instructions regarding storage times.
• The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice
buildup. Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches 1/4" thick.
• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.
• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the freezer. This
will prevent unnecessary energy use.
• When storing meats, keep in the original packaging or rewrap as
necessary.
• Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be
in packages that do not allow the flow of air or moisture in or out.
Improper storage will result in odor and taste transfer and will result in
the drying out of the improperly packaged food.
• Packaging recommendations:
Plastic containers with airtight lids
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
Plastic wrap made from saran film
Self-sealing plastic bags
• Do not refreeze defrosted/thawed foods.
• It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the
packaging.
Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear
• Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of
the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.
