Whirlpool ED25PS manual Foodstoragechart, Fruits, Dairy Products, Baked Goods

IMPORTANT: 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 pack- ages. Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

FOODSTORAGECHART

Storage times* will vary according to the qual- ity of the food, the type of packaging or wrap used (moisture and vapor-proof), and the stor- age temperature which should be 0°F( -17.8”C).

if electricity goes off

Call the power company. Ask how long power will be off

1.If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep both doors closed. Thuswill help frozen foods to stay frozen.

2.If service is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours:

(a]Remove all frozen food and store in a frozen food locker. Or...

(b)Place 2 Ibs (0.9 kg] of dry ice in freezer for every cu. ft of freezer space. This will keep frozen foods for 2 to 4 days, Wear glovesto protect your hands from dry ice burns.

(c)If neither food locker storage nor dry ice is available, use or can perishable food at once.

3.A full freezerwfll stay cold longerthan a partly filled one. A freezer full of meat will stay 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. Use refrozen foods quickly. If the condition of the food is poor or you have any suspicions, it is wise to dispose of it.
