Frozen Food Storage

The freezer compartment is designed for storing frozen food and for

freezing food at home.

Successful freezing depends on the correct packaging. When you

close and seal the package you must not allow air or moisture in or

out. If you do, you could have food odor and taste transfer

throughout the refrigerator, and also dry out frozen food.

Note: Never put bottled food or drinks in the freezer compartment.

For best performance, leave enough space in the freezer and

refrigerator compartment for air to circulate around the packages.

Also let enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.
