IMPORTANT: Do not expect your freezer to quick-

freeze any large quantity of food. Put no more

unfrozen food Into the freezer than will freeze

within 24 hours. (No more than 2 to 3 pounds of

food per cubic foot of freezer space.) Leave

enough space for air to circulate around pack

ages. Be careful to leave enough room at the

front so the door can close tightly.

FOOD STORAGE CHART
