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.
