Packaging Food for Freezing (All Freezer)
The secret of successful freezing is in the packaging; the way
you close and seal a package of food must not allow air or
moisture in or out, or the quality of the food will deteriorate
while frozen.
Packaging you should not use for freezing includes:
• Bread wrappers
• Non-polyethylene plastic containers
• Containers without lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap
Recommended packaging:
• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps (made from saran film)
• Zip-top freezer bags
Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing
methods.
Freezing Foods (All Freezer)
Do not expect your freezer to quick-freeze large quantities of
food; do not load more than two to three pounds of unfrozen
food per cubic foot within 24 hours. Leave enough space for
air to circulate around packages, and be careful to leave
enough room at the front so the freezer door can close tightly.
A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one, and
a freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If food contains ice crystals, it may be safely
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If
the condition of the food is poor, or if you feel it is unsafe,
dispose of it.
Storage times will vary according to the quality of food, the
type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof),
and the storage temperature, which should be
0° to 2° F (-18° to -17° C).
Cleaning and Maintenance
Your appliance is built to give you many years of dependable
service. However, there are a few things you can do to help
extend its life. This section tells you how to clean your
appliance and what to do when going on vacation, moving,
or during a power outage.
Interior Surfaces
Wash the interior surfaces with four tablespoons of baking
soda dissolved in one quart of warm water. Use a soft, clean
cloth. Rinse these surfaces with warm water, and dry with a
soft clean cloth.
Do not use the following to clean interior surfaces:
• Abrasive or harsh cleaners, such as ammonia or chlorine
bleach
• Concentrated detergents or solvents
• Metal scouring pads
These products can scratch, crack and discolor your
appliance’s surfaces.
Also, never wash the ice bucket or shelves in the dishwasher.
They must be cleaned by hand.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, read and follow all
cleaning product manufacturer’s directions.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or
death, turn power disconnect switch to OFF before cleaning. After
cleaning, return power disconnect switch to ON position.
