IMPORTANT: Do not expect your

freezer to quick-freeze any large quantlty of food. Put no more un- frozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours. (No more than 2 to 3 pounds of fresh meat or 3 to 4 pounds of vegetables 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.
