FREEZER FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features.

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. 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.
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 to 

1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the 

freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be certain to leave 

enough room for the door to close tightly.
For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a 

freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
