HELPFUL HINTS:
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed the
process. Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed
melting. If you must use a scraper, please use caution. It is very easy to damage
the freezer compartment and void your warranty.
The Freezer Compartment
This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. Storage time
is up to three months.
The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not
be exceeded. The instructions regarding the care of frozen foods should be followed
when defrosting the freezer.
Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen
food manufacturer’s instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or
home freezer.
Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are
instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times.
The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice build up. Be sure to
defrost when the ice reaches ¼ to ½ inch thickness.
A storage basket is provided for the organization of odd-shaped items. To reach
other packages in the freezer, just slide the basket to one side, or lift it out.
