Energy saving tips mmm
You can help your freezer use less electricity.
• Check door gasket and level freezer to assure a
good door seal.
• Clean the condenser coils regularly.
• Keep door openings to a minimum. Remove several
items at one time. Keep contents organized to elimi
nate searching.
• Fill to capacity. Follow recommended procedures
for freezing foods. See pages 7 and 8.
• Set Temperature Control to provide temperatures
around 0°F (-17.8 °C). There is no need to store
foods below 0°F.
• Keep door locked to ensure door closure.
• Do not let frost build up to more than lA inch (6 mm)
thick. Efficiency is reduced.
• Keep Power Saving Control on OFF when humidity is
low.

Freezing food in your freezer
To wrap foods.
1. Cut sheet of wrapping material about onethird longer than distance around food to be
wrapped. Place wrapping sheet on flat sur
face with food in center of sheet.
When freezer has cooled to a safe storage
temperature, it may be loaded with frozen food.
When you plan to freeze unfrozen food, see
the following chart for the amount to freeze at
one time.
POUNDS OF FOOD
TO FREEZE ATONE TIME*
Size of
Freezer
11 cu. ft.
(311.5 L)
'These amounts are based on USDA recommen
dations. If too many packages of unfrozen food
are packed at one time into the freezer, the rate
of freezing is too slow Poor quality products result
Meat or
Fish
22 lbs.
(9.9 kg)
Vegetables
or Fruit
33 lbs.
(14.8 kg)
2. Bring front and back of wrapping together
and fold in toward food, making at least two
one-inch (2.5 cm) folds until food fits tightly
against wrapping.
3. Crease ends close to food to eliminate air
pockets.
Packaging and sealing food...
Airtight packaging is important in freezing
foods. Containers and wrappings should be
moisture and vapor-proof and packages should
be sealed carefully to keep moisture in and air
out.
Freezer burn can result if food is not properly
wrapped. When this happens, food dehydrates
and is of poor quality.
4. Press all air from package. Fold each end over
twice. Make sure fold is tight and fasten
against end of package with freezer tape.
NOTE: When packaging meats that have not
been boned, pad sharp edges with extra wrap
or use stockinette to protect against tearing or
puncturing.
Use heavy-duty aluminum freezer foil, kraft pa
per with cellophane bonded to it, special freezer
bags, jars, cartons and freezer sealing tape for
packaging your food items. You'll find them at the
supermarket or freezer dealer.
See booklet, “How to Preserve Foods the
Modem Way with Your WHIRLPOOL Freezer,"
for complete Information and tips on home
freezing.
Page 8
Loading
Before freezing large quantities of food, turn Tem
perature Control to highest setting and let freezer
operate for several hours. After loading all food
items, return Temperature Control to the usual
setting.
2. To speed freezing, lay packages in a single
layer so each rests on the freezing surface of a
shelf. Leave space between packages.
3. Add more unfrozen food after first load is
frozen (approximately 18 to 24 hours).
Storing frozen food...
After food is frozen, stack packages anywhere
in the freezer Packages should not extend be
yond the sheif edge or they may keep the door
from closing and sealing properly.
Trivet - Store heavy and bulky packages here.
Trivet should be in place at all times tor
proper air circulation.
Door storage - Store packages on the door
shelves behind the retaining bar.

Vacation and moving care
Vacations...
Arrange for someone to make regular checks of
your freezer to make sure it is operating and electricity
has not been interrupted.
Shutting off and moving...
If freezer is shut off for more than 24 hours:
1. Remove and store all food.
2. Unplug freezer
3. Clean thoroughly. See "Cleaning your freezer,"
page 6.
4. Block door open tor air circulation. Place blocks
between door and cabinet and tape in place
with self-adhesive filament tape.
If you move the freezer:
1. Remove bottom trivet.
2. Do not place objects inside cabinet.

Page 10
If you need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow these five steps:
L Before calling for assistance... 3. If you need service*...
Performance problems often result from little things
you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
If electricity goes off:
Learn how long power will be off by calling the
power company
• If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or iess, keep
freezer closed. Most food will stay frozen.
• If service is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours,
do this:
1. Remove all unfrozen food and store in a frozen
food locker. OR...
2. Place 2 lbs. (0.9 kg] of dry Ice in freezer for every
cu. ft. of freezer space. This will keep frozen foods
for 2 to 4 days. Wear gloves to protect your hands
from dry ice burns.
3. If neither food locker storage or dry Ice is avail
able, use or can perishable food at once.
• The length of time food will stay frozen depends on
several factors. For Instance: a full freezer will remain
cold longer than a freezer partially filled. And a
freezer full of meat will stay cold longer than a
freezer filled with baked goods. Also, if the food still
contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, al
though the quality and flavor may be affected. Use
this food as soon as convenient. If the condition of
the food is poor or is in any way questionable. It is
wise to dispose of it.
If freezer stops running:
• Check to see if power cord is plugged Into the
outlet.
• Check fuse box or circuit breaker.
• Check electric company for a power failure.
• Be sure Temperature Control Is turned ON.
If compressor seems to run too long:
• Check to see that condenser, located on back of
freezer. Is free of dust and lint.
• On hot summer days or If room Is hot, compressor will
run longer to provide the correct amount of cooling.
• If large amounts of unfrozen food have been put
into the freezer, compressor will run longer
• Check to see that there is enough air circulation
space above and in back of the freezer,
