Freezing food in your freezer

When freezer has cooled to a safe storage

temperature, it may be loaded with frozen food.

When you plan to freeze unfrozen food, see

the following chart for the amount to freeze at

one time.

POUNDS OF FOOD

TO FREEZEAT ONE TIME*

‘These amounts are based on USDA recommen-

datlons If too many packages of unfrozen food

are packed at one time Into the freezer, the rate

of freezing

too slow Poor quality products result

Packaging and sealing food...

Arrtight packaging IS Important in freezing

foods. Containers and wrappings should be

moisture and vapor-proof and packages should

be sealed carefully to keep moisture in and air

out

Freezer burn can result if food i:. Tot qroperly

wrapped. When this happens, food dehydrates

and is of poor quality

To wrap foods...

1. Cut sheet of wrapping materral about one-

third longer than distance around food to be

wrapped. Place wrappjng sheet on flat sur-

face with food in center of sheet

2. Bring front and back of wrapping together

and fold in toward food, making at least two

one-Inch (2 5 cm) folds until food fits tightly

against wrapping

3. Crease ends close to food to elimtnate air

4. Press all air from package. Fold each end over

twrce. Make sure fold is tight and fasten

against end of package with freezer tape.

NOTE: When packaging meats that have not

been boned, pad sharp edges with extra wrap

or use stockinette to protect against tearing or

puncturing

Use heavy-duty aluminum freezer foil, kraff pa-

per with cellophane bonded to It,special freezer

bags, jars, cartons and freezer sealing tape for

packaging your food items. You’ll find them at the

supermarket or freezer dealer.

See booklet, “How to Preserve Foods the

Modern Way with Your WHIRLPOOL Freezer,”

for complete Information and tlps on home

freezlng.

Loading... Storing frozen food...

in the freezer Packages should not extend above

the cabinet edge or they may keep the lid from

closing and sealing properly.

1. Before freezing large quantities of food, turn Tem-

perature Control to highest setting and let freezer

operate for several hours. After loading all food

items, return Temperature Control to the usual

setting.

Foods to be frozen near side wall

Packages already frozen

2. To speed freezing, place unfrozen packages

near a side wall. Leave space between

packages.

3. Add more unfrozen food after first load is

frozen (approximately 18 to 24 hours). Stack

frozen packages in center of freezer

Vacation and moving care

Vacations... Shutting off and moving...

If freezer is shut off for more than 24 hours:

1. Remove and store all food

2. Unplug freezer.

3. Clean thoroughly. See “Cleaning your freezer,”

page 6.

4. Block lid open for air circulation. Turn lock to locked

position with lid open. Place blocks between lid

filament tape.

1. Remove the sliding basket.

2. Do not place objects inside or on top of

cabinet.

If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these five steps:

1.Before calling for assistance...

Performance problems often result from little things

you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind. 1. Remove all unfrozen food and store in a frozen

food locker OR...

If electrtclty goes off:

Learn how long power will be off by calling the

power company.

If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep

freezer closed. Most food will stay frozen.

. If service is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours,

do this:

2. Place 2 Ibs. (0.9 kg) of dry ice in freezer for every cu.

ft. of freezer space. This will keep frozen foods for 2

to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands from

dry ice burns.

3. If neither food locker storage or dry ice is avail-

able, use or can perishable food at once.
