Don’t
frozen
foods which
have
You may safely refreeze frozen
foods that have thawed if they still
contain ice crystals or if they are
still cold—below
(Shellfish
cannot be kept above
safely
because of bacteria growth.)
Thawed ground meats, poultry,
or fish that have
any
off-odor or
off-color should not be refrozen
and should not be eaten. Thawed
ice cream should be discarded. If
the odor or color of any food is
poor or questionable, get rid of it.
The food may be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing
reduce the eating quality of foods,
particularly fruits, vegetables, and
prepared foods. The eating quality of
red meats is affected less than that
of many other foods. Use refrozen
foods as soon as possible–they
won’t keep as long as foods frozen
only once, and the sooner they’re
used, the better their eating will be.
.
If your old freezer is still around
the house but not in use, be sure
to remove the lid or door.

removing the door of a freezer.
Particular caution should be used
when removing the lid of a chest
freezer, as most chest freezer lids
are under spring tension. Contact
the manufacturer’s representative

A. Before making any repairs.
Note: We strongly recommend
any servicing
performed
by a qualified individual.
B.

C. Before replacing a burned-out
light bulb (on models with lamp),
the freezer should be unplugged
in order to avoid contact with a
live wire filament. (A burned-out
light bulb may break when being
replaced.)
Note: Turning control to OFF
position does not remove power
to the light circuit.
