For freezing desserts, salads and other foods—Set the Cold-Control on Number “7,” until dessert or salad has frozen to the desired consistency. Then turn back to Number “3” or “4.” This will keep it at the proper temperature. Package foods to be frozen according to suggestions on page 8.
For keeping frozen foods—When you keep commercially frozen foods or commercial ice cream in the Super-Freezer, leave the Cold-Control on Number “3” or “4” as long as the foods are to be kept frozen. To thaw foods, place packages on one of the food compartment shelves for 24 to 48 hours. Remove entirely from the refrigerator for fast thawing.
Vacation Setting—When you’re away from home for a number of days and foods are to remain in your refrigerator, set the control on one of the economy positions “A,” “B,” or “C.” This will maintain a satisfactory temperature because the cabinet door will not be opened, and no warm foods will be placed in the food compartment. If no foods are to remain in the refrigerator, remove the electrical cord from the outlet, remove all foods and ice trays, and leave door open. This allows food compartment to air out.
How and when to DEFROST
It is normal for frost to build up on the Super-Freezer. This comes from moisture in the air that enters the food compartment when the door is opened. When this moisture strikes the cold surface of the Super-Freezer, it turns to frost. Removing the frost periodically keeps operating costs low.
When to remove frost—The speed with which frost builds up depends upon the amount of moisture in the air and how many times you open the refrigerator door. When the frost builds up to about ¹⁄₄ inch, or the thickness of a pencil, it should be removed by one of the methods below.
Defrost the FAST way when storing frozen foods
When you are keeping frozen foods, it is important to defrost as rapidly as possible so that frozen foods can be returned to the Super-Freezer before they have had a chance to thaw out. Proceed as follows:
1. Remove frozen foods from freezer and wrap them in several thicknesses of newspaper. Place them in some cool spot in the kitchen.
