When placing the food packages in your freezer, please remember:
■The cabinet shelves have the best freezing capability. The door shelves and the bottom of the cabinet have a slightly less cold temperature. Therefore, packages sensitive to temperature (meat, poultry, etc.) should not be placed on the door shelves or the freezer bottom.
■Leave some space between the food packages so that cold air can pass over and around them.
