IMPORTANT: Do not expect your

freezer to quick-freeze any large

quantity 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.
