HELPFUL HINT: 
Defrosting usually takes a few hours. Leaving the door open will help speed 
the process. Also, pouring warm water (not boiling) on the ice/frost will help 
speed melting. If you must use a scraper - please use caution and a plastic 
scraper - it is very easy to damage the freezer compartment and void your 
warranty. 
 
The Freezer Compartment 
x  This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. 
Storage time is up to three months. 
x  The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage 
time should not be exceeded. The instructions regarding the care of 
frozen foods should be followed when defrosting the freezer.   
x  Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance 
with the frozen foods manufacturer
¶s instructions for a three star frozen 
food storage compartment or home freezer. 
x  Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. 
If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions 
regarding storage times. 
x  The freezer door is susceptible to breaking due to excessive ice buildup. 
Be sure to defrost when the ice reaches ¼ inches thick. 
x  A storage basket is provided for the organization of odd-shaped items. 
To reach other packages inside the freezer, just slide the basket to one 
side, or lift it out.
