Glass Freezer Shelf
(on some models)
To remove and replace a glass shelf:
1. Lift the front of the shelf to raise the shelf tabs up and out of
the opening in each shelf track. Slide the shelf out the rest of
the way.
2. Replace the shelf by tilting the back end downward to align
the back shelf tab under the track on each side of the freezer.
Gently push the shelf into the freezer until the two center shelf
tabs are positioned within the opening in each track. Lower
the shelf to rest on the shelf tracks.
Frozen Food Storage Guide
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food,
the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and
moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Seal the package
or container securely to avoid taste and odor transfer throughout
the product. 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.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot [907 to
1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the
freezer for air to circulate around packages. The freezer door
must close tightly.
NOTE: For more information on preparing food for freezing,
check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
