Storing frozen food

The freezer section is designed for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing food at home.

NOTE: For further information about prepar- ing food for freezing or food storage times, contact your local Cooperative Extension Service or check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

Packaging

The secret of successful freezing is in the packaging. The way you close and seal the package must not allow air or moisture in or out. Packaging done in any other way could cause food odor and taste transfer through- out the refrigerator and drying of frozen food.

Packaging recommended for use:

l Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

. Straight-sided canning/freezing jars l Heavy-duty aluminum foil

l Plastic-coated paper

l Non-permeable plastic wraps (made from a Saran film)

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use:

l Bread wrappers

l Non-polyethylene plastic containers l Containers without tight lids

l Waxed paper

l Waxed-coated freezer wrap l Thin, semi-permeable wrap

The use of these wrappings could cause food odor, taste transfer and drying of frozen food.

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, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature, which should be 0°F (-17.8%).

This unique design allows users to easily slide the crisper bin out of the way to make space for taller items—such as large pizza boxes or tall bottles— optimizing storage flexibility. The crisper bins also are designed to keep fruits and vegetables fresh longer by maintaining ideal humidity levels.

In terms of accessibility, the RT series refrigerators are equipped with a Can Caddy that conveniently stores cans and other small items in the door, making it easy to grab your favorite beverages on the go. Additionally, the storage options are abundant, featuring adjustable shelves that allow users to customize their space based on their needs.

The exterior of the RT models boasts a contemporary design, available in multiple finishes which include black, white, and stainless steel options, allowing them to seamlessly fit into any kitchen decor. Their exterior also features a textured finish which resists fingerprints, ensuring a pristine appearance with minimal maintenance.

Energy efficiency is a critical concern for modern consumers, and the Whirlpool RT series doesn't disappoint. These refrigerators are designed to exceed the minimum energy efficiency standards set by the EPA, which can lead to significant savings on utility bills over time.

Lastly, the customized temperature controls ensure that all perishable items are kept at ideal temperatures, whether they're stored in the refrigerator or freezer compartment. This attention to detail enhances the overall user experience while preserving food quality.

In summary, the Whirlpool RT18BM, RT18DK, RT18AK, RT20AK, and RT20BK models are excellent choices for those needing reliable refrigeration solutions. With adaptive technologies, flexible storage options, and energy-efficient design, these refrigerators deliver convenience and performance in a chic package.
