FREEZER FEATURES
Your model may have some or all of these features. Features that
can be purchased separately as product accessories are labeled
with the word “Accessory.” Not all accessories will fit all models.
If you are interested in purchasing one of the accessories, please
call the toll-free number on the cover or in the “Assistance or
Service” section.
Freezer Shelf
(on some models)
Removing and replacing the shelf
1. Remove the shelf by lifting the entire shelf slightly and move it
all the way to one side. Tilt the other side up and out of the
shelf supports.
2. Replace the shelf by inserting one end all the way into the
center of the shelf supports. Then, lower the other end of the
shelf and insert it into the shelf supports.
NOTE: The shelf should lower slightly and lock into place. If the
shelf does not appear stable, make sure both ends of the shelf
are inserted into the shelf supports.
Frozen food storage guide
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food,
the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and
moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Seal the package
or container securely to prevent taste and odor transfer
throughout the product. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are
normal.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of food per cubic foot [907-
1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the
freezer for air to circulate around packages. The freezer door
must close tightly. For more information on preparing food for
freezing, check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
