Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze any large quantity
of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the
freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more
than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot of freezer
space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to
circulate around packages. Be careful to leave
enough room at the front so the door can close
tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality and
type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used
(airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage
temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package
are normal. This simply means that moisture in the
food and air inside the package have condensed,
creating ice crystals.
NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature
for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling
hot foods before freezing saves energy.
REFRIGERATOR SECTION
REFRIGERATOR SHELVES
The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to
meet your individual storage needs. Your model may
have glass or wire shelves.
Storing similar food items together in your
refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different
heights of items will make finding the exact item you
want easier; it will also reduce the amount of time
the refrigerator door is open, saving energy.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm
water while they are cold. Shelves may break if
exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact,
such as bumping. For your protection, glass shelves
are made with tempered glass, which will shatter into
small pebble-sized pieces.
NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care
when removing them to avoid dropping them.
