See booklet, “How to Preserve Foods the
Modern Way with Your WHIRLPOOL Freezer,”
for complete information and tips on home
freezing.
Loading...
1. To speed freezing, lay packages in a sin­
gle layer so each rests on the freezing
surface of a shelf. Leave space between
packages.
2. Add more unfrozen food after first load is
frozen (approximately 18 to 24 hours).
Storing frozen food...
After food is frozen, stack packages any­
where in the freezer. Packages should not
extend beyond the shelf edge or they may
keep
the door from closing and sealing
properly.
Ttivet — Store heavy and bulky packages
here. Trivet should be in place at all times
for proper air circulation.
Energy Saving Tips...
• Check door gasket and level freezer to as­
sure a door seal.
• Keep door openings to a minimum. Re­
move several items at one time. Keep con­
tents organized to eliminate searching.
• Fill to capacity. Follow recommended pro­
cedures for freezing foods.
• Clean condenser coils frequently.
• Do not let frost build up to more than ^ 4 inch
[6 mm) thick. Efficiency is reduced.
