loading
Before loading
with unfrozen
food, turn
cold control
to coldest
position
[highest
number)
and let freezer operate
for several
hours. This will speed
up the rate of
freezing.
Lay packages
to be frozen in a
single
layer so each
rests on a freezing
surface.
(See illustration
above.)
Allow
space
between
packages
for cold airto
circulate.
Food will be frozen in about
18 to 24 hours,
depending
upon the kind of food, size and
shape
of the package
and the amount
to be frozen. Do not add more unfrozen
food until previous
load is frozen. If in doubt,
wait 24 hours before
adding
more un-
frozen food.
When food is frozen, return cold control
to its usual setting.
Storing frozen food
When food is frozen, stack packages
anywhere
in the freezer. Make sure that
packages
do not extend
above
the top of
the cabinet,
keeping
lid from closing.
Sliding basket
Store food that is alike
in basket;
it can
be moved
easily
from side to side
when loading
or unloading
food
stored below.
Basket can be lifted out
completely.
