Freezing

Your freezer will not 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 lbs of food per cubic foot [907-1,350 g per liter] of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer 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 and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. 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.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.

REFRIGERATOR

FEATURES

RefrigeratorShelves

The shelves in your refrigerator are adjustable to meet your individual storage needs.

Storing similar food items together in your refrigerator and adjusting the shelves to fit different heights of items will make finding the exact item you want easier. It will also reduce the amount of time the refrigerator door is open, and save energy.

IMPORTANT: Do not clean glass shelves with warm water when they are cold. Shelves may break if exposed to sudden temperature changes or impact. For your protection tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small pebble-size pieces. This is normal.

NOTE: Glass shelves are heavy. Use special care when removing them to avoid impact from dropping.

To remove shelves from the shipping position (shelves are shipped upside down):

1.Grasp front of upper shelf with one hand and use other hand to remove packing material from shelf area.

2.Lower front of upper shelf until shelf hooks can be removed from slots in shelf supports on the back refrigerator wall. Pull shelf forward to remove.

3.Flip shelf over.

4.Insert rear shelf hooks into slots in shelf supports.

5.Tilt front of shelf up until rear hooks drop into slots.

6.Lower front of shelf. Check to make sure that shelf is securely in position.
