Storing frozen food
When food is frozen, stack packages anywhere in the freezer. Make sure that packages do not extend above the top of the cabinet, keeping lid from closing.
Sliding basket
Heavy-duty aluminum freezer forl, kraft paper with cellophane bonded to it, special freezer bags, jars, cartons and special pressure-sensitive freezer sealing tape are available at your supermarket or freezer dealer. See your �How to Freeze Book� for packaging material guide.

in basket;

be moved easily from side to side when loading or unloading food stored below. Basket can be lifted out completely.
loading
Before loading with unfrozen food, turn cold control to coldest position [highest number) and let freezer operate for several hours. This will speed up the rate of freezing. Lay packages to be frozen in a single layer so each rests on a freezing surface. (See illustration above.) Allow space between packages for cold airto circulate. Food will be frozen in about 18 to 24 hours, depending upon the kind of food, size and shape of the package and the amount to be frozen. Do not add more unfrozen food until previous load is frozen. If in doubt, wait 24 hours before adding more unfrozen food. When food is frozen, return cold control to its usual setting.
