Storage Drawer - Hotpoint CTA13 Use And Care Manual

Tips on freezing foods
There are three essential require-
ments for efficient home freezing.
1. Initkd quality. Freeze only
top-quality foods. Freezing retains
quality and flavor; it cannot improve
quality.
2. Speed. The quicker fruits and
vegetables are frozen after picking,
the better the frozen product will
be. You'll save time, too, because
less culling and sorting will be
necessary.
For faster freezing, place item to
be frozen directly on floor of freezer
compartment.
3. Roper packaging. Use food
wraps designed especially for
freezing.
To freeze meat, fish and Podtryl
wrap well in freezer-weight foil (or
other heavy-duty wrapping material
the contents. This expels air. Fold
and crimp ends of the package to
provide a good, lasting seal.
Don't refreeze meat that has com-
pletely thawed; meat, whether raw
or cooked, can be frozen success-
fully only once.
Limit freezing of fresh (unfrozen)
meats or seafoods to number of
pounds at a time as follows:
Shelves & Storage Drawer
Top Shelf
The top shelf has a guard at the
rear to help prevent containers from
touching the cooling coil. If bowls
or similar containers touch the coil,
frost could form on the containers
and cause partial freezing of their
contents. This frost may melt and
drip during the defrosting cycle.
Two-Position Shelf
(on models so equipped)
The bottom wire shelf in the fresh
food compartment can be relocated
to vary the amount of space between
it and the Fruit & Vegetable drawer
cover below it.
To relocate shelf, lift it off the
shelf supports, tilt it, and place it
on the other set of shelf supports.
Fruit & Vegetable Drawer
The storage drawer at the bottom
of the fresh food compartment has
been specially designed to help
preserve fruits and vegetables.
The drawer will stop before coming
all the way out of the refrigerator to
help prevent contents from spilling
onto the floor. It can be removed
easily by lifting up slightly and
pulling past the "stop" position.
