Loading the freezer

Go ahead and load up your freezer, but leave room around the food for the cold air to circulate. Your freezer has 4 wire storage baskets to help you organize the food.

NOTE: Do not add more than 9.9 pounds of unfrozen (fresh) food in a 24 hour period.

To load your freezer:

1.Remove the storage baskets.

2.Arrange the food in the baskets. Avoid overloading the baskets. Leave about s/einch between the top of the food and the top of the storage basket. This allows for proper air circulation.

3.Replace the baskets.

NOTE: Keep the door dosed while filling the storage baskets. This will help save energy.
