About the freezer compartment.

Loading the Freezer Compartment

Load so that at least 15 mm of space remains clear between stacks of packages and 15–25 mm of space between the top of any stack and any shelf or basket above it. Packages may hang over the front of shelves but must remain

15 mm from doors.

■Food to be frozen must not be placed in direct contact with food in storage. If food is to be frozen every day, it may be necessary to reduce the quantity to be frozen.

■If a quantity of food needs to be frozen, set the freezer control to its coldest setting. After the food is frozen, reset the freezer control to its initial position.

■Food is most quickly frozen on the middle three shelves of the freezer compartment and most slowly in the freezer door shelves.

■Do not store commercially quick-frozen food longer than the time recommended by the food manufacturers.

■If the power to the appliance is shut off for an extended time or if the refrigerating system fails, do not open the doors unless absolutely necessary. When it is necessary, close them as quickly as possible so the frozen food will stay frozen as long as possible.

■The freezer door storage shelves marked with a two-star label are only appropriate for the storage of previously frozen food.

Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartment.
