Food Storage Information

Frozen Food:

Normal Operating Sounds You May Hear

Boiling water, gurgling sounds or slight vibrations that are the result of
the refrigerant circulating through the cooling coils.

The thermostat control will click when it cycles on and off.

Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.

Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the freezer.
This will prevent unnecessary energy use.

When storing meats, keep in the original

packaging or rewrap as necessary.

Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be in
packages, which do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out.
Improper storage will result in odor and taste transfer and will result in
the drying out of the improperly packaged food.

Follow package or container instructions for proper storage.

Packaging Recommendations:

Plastic containers with air tight lids

Heavy duty aluminum foil

Plastic wrap made from saran film

Self-sealing plastic bags

Do not refreeze defrosted/ thawed foods.

It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the packaging.
