1. Fast-Freezing ShelvesThere are three Fast-Freezing Shelvesin your Food Freezer. They providedirect contact for extra fast freezing.Use these shelves for foods to befrozen, placing containers or packagesflat on the shelf. Leave packages inposition until solidly frozen, then stackand store in any convenient place inthe Food Freezer.

2. The Removable ShelfIt's directly under the top shelf andmay be removed if desired, when freez-ing extra large items such as a turkey,ham, large beef roast or the like. Thisshelf provides a wealth of extra storagespace for keeping foods that have al-ready been frozen.

3. Pastry RackDesigned for the safe storage of piesand cakes, protects fragile crusts anddelicate icings-keeps pastries from be-ing crushed by other foods. The rackwill accommodate two pies and onecake or three pies. Center shelf is re-movable. If the rack is not needed forpies or cakes, you will find it a con-venience when freezing trays of appe-

tizers, individual desserts and the like.It. will also serve as a convenient placeto group and store small items. ThePastry Rack is removable and may beused on aI)Y one of the fast freezingshelves in your Food Freezer.

4. Drop-leaf Grille FrontThere are three Drop-leaf Grille Frontsto prevent frozen foods from slidingoff the shelves. The middle one protectsfoods on both the removable shelf andthe fast-freezing shelf directly belowit. Each Grille Front is hinged so thatby lifting up, it will unlock and swingforward. When Grille is lowered tothis position it becomes a convenientshelf for holding food packages andcontainers during loading or re-arrange-ment. When returned to its verticalposition the Grille Front drops downand locks securely into place.

cator button as shown. For a lowertemperature setting turn Cold-Controltoward the word "Colder."

For satisfactory storage, all frozenfoods should be kept in zero zone tem-peratures. If you are not sure about thetemperature of your Food Freezer, itwould be well to have the Cold-Controlsetting checked by your Frigidaire Serv-ICeman.

11. Target-Light Safety SignalTo indicate that your Food Freezer isin normal operating condition, thereis a special Target-Light Safety Signallocated on the front of the Food Freezerdoor near the base. In normal operationthis light will be on. If the Target-Lightis not on, it is an indication that theelectrical power has been cut off, thelamp bulb has burned out, or the tem-perature within the Freezer is too high.

If Target-LightSafety Signal goes off

check as follows:

4

1. Open Freezer Door. If Interior Lightis on there is no current interruption.If Interior Light does not light, checkfor loose electrical cord plug at thewall outlet or for a blown fuse.

2. If Meter-Miser mechanism is oper-ating and Target-Light Safety Signalis not on, check the food compartmenttemperature with an accurate thermom-eter. Leave thermometer in Freezerwith the door closed for at least 20 to30 minutes before taking a reading. Ifthis reading is no more than 5 degreesF., the temperature is satisfactory andthe bulb in the Target-Light is prob-

J,

ably burned out and should be replaced.To do this, remove small round lightshield which is clamped into place overthe light, by pulling forward and out.Replace with a neon lamp-NE-51-or its equivalent.

3. If the temperature within the FoodFreezer has risen above the operatingrange and the Interior Light and powersupply check satisfactorily, call yourFrigidaire Serviceman.

NOTE: Placing an unusual

amount of warm food in theFood Freezer at one time willtend to raise the temperaturewithin the Freezer. This may

cause the Target-light SafetySignal to go off. When theFreezer temperature is loweredto its normal operating range,the light will go on again.

When the Food Freezer is firstused, the Target-light will notgo on until operating temper-atures have been reached.

Locating the FreezerFor your own convenience, be sure togive careful consideration to the loca-tion of the Frigidaire Food Freezer inyour home. Its upright design and newstreamlined beauty will add extra at-tractiveness as well as extra convenienceto your kitchen. If possible, see that it isplaced so that it will save you steps andtime. For greatest economy avoid plac-ing the Food Freezer too close tokitchen range, radiator, water heater orother source of heat or where it will beexposed to the direct rays of the sun.For proper air circulation, allow at least4 inches between wall and Food Freezer.

Using the Freezer the first timeGive your Food Freezer a chance toreach freezing temperatures before youstart to use it. Connect the Freezer byinserting the electric plug into the walloutlet and set the Cold Control to"Normal." (Do not plug other appli-ances into the same outlet.) Allow theFreezer to operate for several hours oruntil the Target-Light Safety Signal onthe exterior of the door glows. Whenthe Signal-Light glows it is cold enoughto put in food already frozen. If youplan to freeze food, allow the FoodFreezer to run approximately 10 to 12hours before placing food in freezer.

Proper Packaging is ImportantRemember that proper packaging is oneof the most important factors in thepreparation and preservation of frozenfoods. Please read carefully the frozenfood booklet, "The New Thrills ofFreezing," that is supplied with yournew Frigidaire Food Freezer.

YourFrigidaire Dealer can supply you withproper packaging materials or tell youwhere proper materials can be obtained.

How to Freeze FoodsAfter the Food Freezer has been prop-erly installed and has reached the cor-rect operating temperature, it is readyto be used for storage and freezing.

After you have prepared and pack-aged the food, as outlined in "The NewThrills of Freezing," it is ready to befrozen. Place food packages flat on anyone of the fast-freezing shelves and

allow them to remain there until solidlyfrozen. The packages may then bemoved to any convenient part of thecabinet, or the door, until ready for use.

How Long to Store FoodsMost foods of good quality, that havebeen properly prepared and packagedfor freezing, may be stored for as longas a year. However, it should be remem-bered that to obtain the best use of yourFreezer space, it is desirable to have aturnover of foods several times a year.Regard your Food Freezer much as youdo your checking account at the bankand use it accordingly. Keep a supplyof food moving in and out of theFreezer.

For Best Results:1. Select foods of good quality,2. Speed foods to the Freezer.3. Package properly in family-size

quantities.4. Seal it tightly.

S. Freeze it promptly.6. Store at zero or below, until you are

ready to use it.IMPORTANT: Blanch vegetables andcool quickly.

Remember, freezing will retain theoriginal quality of the food, but it willnot improve it!

Keeping the Cabinet CleanTo keep the exterior of your FrigidaireFreezer spotless, simply wipe occasion-ally with a damp cloth. For morethorough cleansing, use a damp, soapycloth - rinse and dry well.

The rubber door seal should be thor-oughly cleaned with lukewarm waterand mild soap. Rinse well to removeall traces of soap. For more thoroughcleansing, use Frigidaire Nu-Coat (ob-tainable from your Frigidaire Dealer)for removing dirt and giving a self-polishing luster.

The amountof frost formation and the length oftime it takes to accumulate depend uponthe humidity and the number of timesthe Freezer is opened for removing orstoring foods. To remove frost carefullyscrape the shelves and the walls withthe plastic scraper provided with theFreezer.
