Shelves
For storage flexibility, the shelves in your convertible refrigerator/
freezer are adjustable. Adjust the shelves to different heights and
store similar foods together. This reduces the time the door is open
and saves energy.

Frozen Food Storage Guide
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the
type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and moisture-
proof), and the storage temperature. Seal the package or container
securely to prevent taste and odor transfer throughout the product.
Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot
[907 to 1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in
the freezer for air to circulate around packages. The freezer door
must close tightly. For more information on preparing food for
freezing, check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
