Whirlpool NO-FROST REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER Use And Care Manual page 11

IMPORTANT: Do not expect your
freezer to quick-freeze any large
quantity of food. No more than 2 to
3 pounds of fresh meat or 3 to 4
pounds of vegetables per cubic foot
of freezer space. Leave enough
space for air to circulate around
packages. Be careful to leave
enough room at the front so the door
can close tightly.
