FREEZING & STORING FROZEN
FOODS
The freezer sectIon ISdeslgnea for storage of corn-
merc~oll~ frozen foods or#d for freezIng icods a*
Clome
Packaging -The secret of successful freezing ISin
the packaging The wrap you use musi be air,
moisture and vapor proof. The way you close and seal
the package must not allow air, moisture or vapor In or
out. Packaging done in any other way could cause
food odor and taste transfer throughout the rem
frigerator and dryng of frozen food.
Rigid polyethylene (plastic) containers with tightW
ting lids, straight-sided canning/freezing jars. heavy-
duty aluminum foil, plastic wraps (made from a Saran
film] are not recommended NOTE: Heat-sealed boll-
ing bags ore easy to use and can be used by them-
selves or as carton liners
Sealing - Wher, sealing foods in bags squeeze
out the air ! lqulas need he&space to allow for
exponslon ) LAS+ the top ant turp I+bock Foster tie
securely around t”le doubled-over tail Put the label
lrslde transparent bags Jse selfVadhesive label orI
xtslde of opaque ones
,Ar-tight wrapping tolls for “drugstore wrap cut
the sheet about one-thtrd longer than the distance
around the food Bring the ends together and fold In
(toward the focx3d) at least twice to seal out air Crease
ends close to food, press atr from package Fold tips
over twice Fl-lsh package ana tape closed hOTE
With8 tinboned meats, pad snorp edges with extrc
wrap or else stockinette to protect the wrap froir
punctures
DO NOT USE:
l Bread wrappers
l Non-polyethylene plastic containers
l Containers without tight lids
l Waxed paper
l Waxed-coated freezer wrap
l Thin, semi-permeable wrap
None of these are totally moisture, air or vapor
proof. The use of these wmpplngs could
cause food odor and taste transfer and
drying of frozen food.
Freezing Fruits - Select ripe. blemish-free fruits
Be sure they taste as good OS they look Wash 2 to
3 quarts (Ilters) at a time and drain Fruit that stands
in water may lose food value and become. soggy
Sort, peel, tram, pit and slice as needed
Pack in rigid wide-mouthed contaners or other
recommended material Leave head space to al-
low llqulds to expand during freezlng

Freezing Vegetables - Freeze only fresh hrgh-
qualrty vegetables picked when barely mature
For best results, freeze no more than 2 to 3 hours
after pickrng. Wash In cold water, sort and cut Into
approprrate sizes Blanch or scald Pack In reconl-
mended contarner and freeze
Do not freeze lettuce, celery, carrot sticks. pota-
toes or fresh tomatoes. All WIII become limp or
mushy Tomatoes WIII collapse when thawed
Freezing Meats-The meat you thaw can only
be as good as the meat you freeze “Drugstore”
wrap In meal-size packages. Flat cuts or patties
should be wrapped rndivrdually or in layers sepa-
rated by a double thickness of freezer wrap
Make sure store wrapptngs are moisture and va-
por proof If not, re-wrap meats with one of the
wraps recommended under “Packaging”
Freezing Cooked Food - Prepare cooked
foods as you would for the table, shorten cooklng
t~melOto15mrnutestoallowforaddrtronal cooking
during reheating. Omit seasonrngs and part of the
Irqurd. Plan to add them at reheating time Pota-
toes should also be added to soup and stew at
heating time Add crumb and cheese toppings at
heating time
Cool as rapidly as possible and freeze at once
Liquid or semr-lrqurd dashes may be frozen in rec-
ommended containers with heod~spoce Casser-
oles and other more solid foods may be frozen In
the baking container If you don’t want to leave
your casserole dish In the freezer, line it with foil
Bake, cool, freeze, lift out the foil package, bag it
and return to freezer
Freezing Baked Goods-Wrap baked breads
in recommended material Thaw In wrapping Un
baked yeast breads can be frozen after the frrst
rising. Punch down, wrap and freeze
Bake cookies as usual. Cool and freeze on trays,
then pack in recommended freezer bags or car-
tons. Unbaked cookres may be dropped, molded
or rolled and frozen on cookie trays Store in bag or
carton, bake without thawing Refrigerator-type
cookres can be wrapped and frozen in roll form
Thaw only enough to slice when ready to bake
Fruit pies are best frozen unbaked Bake without
thawing Bake pecan and srmrlar pies before
freeing .rrch frllrngs do not freeze solid Cut steam
vents In top crusts when ready to bake

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.
FOODSTORAGECHART
Storage times* will vary according to the
quality of the food, the type of packaging or
wrap used (moisture and vapor-proof), and
the storage temperature which should be

If you need service or
assistance, we suggest
you follow these four steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from lIttIe things
you con find and fix yourself wlthout tools of any kind
If your refrigerator will not operate:
l Is the power supply cord piugged Into o live clrcult
with the proper voltage7 [See page 4 )
l Hove you checked your home’s main fuses or clrcult
breaker box7
l Is the Temperature Control turned ON’
If there is a ruftling or jingling noise, or other un-
familiar sounds:
l Is something on top or behind the refrigerator mak-
ing no/se when the refrrgerator IS runnrng’
l New features on your new refrigerator make new
sounds You may be hearing air flowing from the
fans, timer clicks for the defrosting cycle, defrost
water draining into the defrost pan
If your ice maker will not operate:
l Has the freezer hod enough time to get cold7 With a
new refrigerator, this might take overnight
l Is the signal arm ON in the down position7
l Is the water valve turned on7 Is water getting to the
ice maker’
If there is water in the defrost pan:
l In hot, muggy weather, this IS normal The pan con
even be half full Make sure the refrigerator IS level so
the pan doesn’t overflow
If the lights are not working:
l Hove you checked your home’s main fuses or clrcult
breaker box?
l Is the power supply cord plugged Into a live circuit
with the proper voltage? [See page 4 )
If a bulb is burned out:
l See instructlons for changing light bulbs on page 7
Use appliance bulbs only.
If the motor seems to run too much:
l Is the condenser, behlnd the base gnlle, free of dust
and lint?
l On hot days, or if the room ISworm, the motor natu-
rally runs longer.
l If the door has been opened a lo?, or If a large
amount of food has been put in, the motor will run
longer to cool down the interior
Remember: Motor running time depends on dlf-
ferent things: number of door openings, amount of
food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the
controls.
And, your new refrigerator may be larger than your
old one so it has more space to be cooled It also has
a regular freezer instead of a frozen food compati-
ment All this means better refrigeration and may re-
quire more running time than your old one
