For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Unscrew and remove drain
plug. This will let the water flow out in the tray. When done, screw on the drain
plug in place.
Note: monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow.
When draining is complete, wipe the interior of the freezer with a soft cloth. Plug in
power cord back into the electrical outlet.
Reset the temperature control to the desired setting.
Return the food into the freezer.
Food Storage Information
Frozen Food:
Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.
Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the freezer. This will prevent
unnecessary energy use.
When storing meats, keep in the original packaging or rewrap as necessary.
Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be in packages,
which do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out. Improper storage will
result in odor and taste transfer and will result in the drying out of the improperly
packaged food.
Follow package or container instructions for proper storage.
Packaging Recommendations: Plastic containers with air tight lids Heavy duty
aluminum foil
Plastic wrap made from saran film Self-sealing plastic bags
Do not refreeze defrosted/thawed foods.
It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the packaging.
