Cleaning Your Refrigerator - Whirlpool RS20CK Use And Care Manual

Freezing
Do not expect your freezer to quick-
freeze any large quantity of food. Put no
more unfrozen food into the freezer than
will freeze within 24 hours. (No more
than 2 to 3 pounds of food 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. Storage
times will vary according to the quality
of the food, type of packaging or wrap
used (air and moisture proof), and
storage temperature which should be
0°F (-17.8%).
