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
Ya inch 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.
Tips for storing frozen food
• Be aware of expiration dates of frozen foods.
• For more information on packaging and
recommended storage times, refer to a
reliable cookbook or freezer storage guide.
NOTE; To order Whirlpool’s Freezer Guide,
see page 2.
Tips for freezing fresh food
When freezing fresh food, follow these tips for
better results:
• Only freeze fresh, prime-quality food.
• Avoid placing fresh food next to frozen food.
• Wrap fresh food in aluminum foil, coated
freezer paper, or sturdy plastic containers
with tight-fitting lids. When the air is removed
from the container, the food will not dry out.
• Prepare foods in small portions. This will help
with uniform freezing.
• Do not place hot food in the freezer.

The countertop can be removed for easier
cleaning. It must be removed when reversing
the door swing.

2. Lift the front.
To replace the countertop:

NOTE: If necessary, replace the adhesive
strips on the top of the freezer with the new
