Whirlpool EDI9SK manual Foodstoragechart, Meat, Fish, Main, Do not Freeze, Eggs, Baked Goods

IMPORTANT: Do not expect yourfreezerto 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 pack- ages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.
