FREEZER FEATURES

Your model may have some or all of these features.
Important information to know about glass shelves and
covers:
Do not clean glass shelves or covers with warm water when
they are cold. Shelves and covers may break if exposed to
sudden temperature changes or impact, such as bumping.
Tempered glass is designed to shatter into many small,
pebble-sized pieces. This is normal. Glass shelves and
covers are heavy. Use both hands when removing them to
avoid dropping.

1. Remove items from the shelf.
2. Lift back of shelf over stop and slide shelf straight out.
3. Replace the shelf by sliding the back of the shelf into the
tracks on walls of cabinet.
4. Be sure to slide the shelf in all the way.
Frozen Food Storage Guide
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of
food, the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and
moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Seal the package
or container securely to avoid taste and odor transfer throughout
the product. 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.
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 to 1,350 g per L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in
the freezer for air to circulate around packages. The freezer door
must close tightly.
NOTE: For more information on preparing food for freezing,
check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
