3. Properpackaging.Use foodwrapsdesigned especiallyforfreezing.

Tofreezemeat,fih and podtry, wrapwellinfieezerweightfoil(orotherheavy-dutywrappingmaterial), formingit carefullytotheshapeofthecontents.This expelsair.Foldandcrimpendsoftie packagetoprovide a good,lastingseal.Don’trefreezemeatthathasbeen completelythawed;meat,whetherraw or cooked,can be frozensuccessfullyonlyonce.

Be sure both ends ofthe tubing are cut square.

To determine how much copper tubing you

need: measure the distance fi-omthe water valve on the back ofthe refrigerator to the water supplypipe.Then add 8feet. Be sure there is sufficientextra tubing (about8feet coiled into 3 turns ofabout 10inches diameter) to allowthe retiigerator to move outfrom the wallafter installation.Do not use plastictubing or plastic

fittingsbecause the water supplyline is under

pressure at alltimes. Also,certain types of

plastictubing may become britie with age and

crack, resulting inwater leakage.
