Food Storage Tips
* The following tips may not be applicable
depending on the model.

transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated

Storing Frozen Food
NOTE
Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook
for further information about preparing food
for freezing or food storage times.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large
quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food
into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours
(no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of food per cubic foot
of freezer space). Leave enough space in the
freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be
careful to leave enough room at the front so the
door can close tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality
and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap
used (how 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.
NOTE
Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature
for 30 minutes, then package and freeze.
Cooling hot foods before freezing saves
energy.
