Temperature Control

The freezer temperature control uses a range of settings from 0 to 7. When set at zero the freezer is OFF—It does not cool or maintain a cool temperature. Setting 1 is the warmest temperature setting and setting 7 is the coldest.

If the freezer is laid on its side during shipping or transport place the freezer upright and wait 12 hours before plugging it in. This prevents damage to the freezer.

When plugging in the freezer for the first time:

Lid Lock

The freezer door lock prevents accidental jarring of the lid which may lead to defrosting and loss of temperature. To use the lid lock:

1' Insert key into lock approximately ^1/4
2' Turn key clockwise to lock freezer and counterclockwise to unlock

AMANA AFC2207AW - Lid Lock - 1

Power On Light

This light' located on the outside of freezer lid' glows when the freezer is connected to a power source. The light goes off when power is interrupted or when bulb needs replacing. A flickering light indicates a faulty bulb that needs to be replaced. A qualified service technician must replace the power light bulb.

The key won't stay, in...

To help protect children and prevent child entrapment, all of Amana's freezer locks have a 'pop out key' function. This means that when the key is inserted into the lock, it must be pushed in and pressure must be maintained as the lock is turned. Once locked or unlocked, the lock will push the key out, preventing the key from being kept in the lock. The key should be kept in a safe place away from children.

Freezing Guidelines

Freezing Basics

Amana provides this information as a guide to aid in food preservation. For specific questions regarding food handling' cooking' or storage contact USDA Meat & Poultry Hotline at (800) 535-4555.

Freezer burn

Freezer burn occurs when air reaches the surface of the food. The cold, dry air in the freezer causes the foodstuff to dry out in spots and lose quality. While freezer burn may not taste good, it does not make the food unsafe. Freezer burned portions can be cut away either before or after cooking the food.

Color changes

Color changes can occur in frozen foods. This can cause ground beef to go from a bright, cherry red to a darker, duller brown due to lack of oxygen. Freezing normally doesn't cause color changes in poultry, but it will cause a change in color near the bones resulting in 'bone darkening'. These changes are only visual changes and do not indicate poor quality or unsafe food.

Fast Freezing Facts

  • You can freeze almost any food' the main exceptions being eggs still in the shell and cans of foods:
  • Frozen food kept at 0^ will always be safe. Only the quality of food suffers over time:
  • It is safe to freeze meat or poultry directly in supermarket wrapping Because this wrapping allows in air freezer burn can occur, so the meat should be used within one to two months.
  • Freeze foods as quickly as possible. This prevents large ice crystals from forming which disrupts food quality
  • Never stack packages to be frozen. Lay packages out in a single layer and then stack them after they are frozen.
  • If food is thawed within a refrigerator, it is safe to refreeze it without cooking.
  • During a power outage, a full freezer will normally keep 2 days' a half full freezer about 1 day. Food should be stacked tightly to provide a nest of cold air around the frozen food.
  • As a general guideline' food 2-inches thick should freeze completely in about 2 hours:

AMANA AFC2207AW - Fast Freezing Facts - 1

Using an Appliance Thermometer

An appliance thermometer is the most accurate method to verify that the freezer is working normally and maintaining correct temperatures. The freezer should maintain a temperature of 0^ to 2^ F.

To verify freezer temperature:

1 Use a thermometer with an easy to read degree display. Thermometer should have a long stem for more accurate temperature reading.
2 Place the thermometer in the freezer between packages of foodstuffs. The thermometer can also be placed in a glass of vegetable oil placed in freezer (vegetable oil will not freeze).
3' Close the freezer lid
4. Allow the thermometer to sit for 5 to 8 hours inside the closed freezer
5° Check thermometer Temperature should read between 0° and 2°F
6. If temperature is not within the correct range, adjust the temperature by using the temperature control knob. Directions are in the Using the Freezer Controls section.

Freezing Guidelines (cont'd)

Defrosting Foods

There are basic methods to defrost food safely. Food should never be defrosted at room temperature. This allows deadly bacteria to grow while the food is thawing. To defrost safely use:

• Refrigerator: this allows the food to thaw in an environment that controls bacterial growth. Food that is thawed in a refrigerator can be safely refrozen without having to be cooked. Most foods require a day or two to defrost' approximately one day for each 5 lbs' of weight.
- Cold water: place food in a leakproof bag and immerse it in cold water (If bag leaks' food will become contaminated by bacteria). Check water frequently to verify it stays cold. Change water every thirty minutes. After thawing, refrigerate the food until it is ready to use.
- Microwave: cook food immediately after using a microwave to defrost food. Microwave defrosting warms food and can partially cook it' allowing bacteria to grow as it defrosts. Food cannot be refrozen until it is cooked.

Packaging

Proper packaging prevents freezer burn' maintains quality of frozen foods and minimizes odor contamination in the freezer

For short term storage it is safe to freeze meat or poultry directly in supermarket wrapping. This meat should be used within 1 to 2 months.

For long term storage' follow these wrapping guidelines:

• Overwrap store wrapped packages with airtight heavy duty foil plastic wrap or freezer paper
- Freeze unopened vacuum wrapped packages as they are
• Make sure lids are sealed tightly when using airtight freezer containers:
- Break down foods into smaller portions for faster freezing
- Freezer bags can be used. Remove as much air as possible from them before placing in the freezer.
• If a package has accidentally been torn or damaged while in the freezer, the food is still safe to eat just overwrap it or repackage it.
- It is not necessary to rinse meat or poultry before freezing.

Cooking Frozen

FOODs

AMANA AFC2207AW - Cooking Frozen - 1

Foods can be cooked or

directly from a frozen state.

The cooking time will multiply to almost one and a half times it would normally take. Remember when cooking poultry or meat to remove paper wrapping, giblet sacks, and any strings that might burn during cooking. Some meats, such as pre-stuffed whole birds, must be cooked from the frozen state to ensure food safety. Remember to read the USDA label on the meat.

Freezing Guidelines (cont'd)

It's happened to all of us, one day the freezer lid gets left open or the power goes out. Either way, you have a freezer full of food and you don't know what to do with it. The chart below is provided by the USDA and should be used as a guideline only. When in doubt about food safety, it is always better to throw questionable food out.
