Deli Pan Settings (42" [106.7 cm] Models)

pan has the following three temperature settings: Deli, Produce,
Meats (Cold to Coldest) and the Quick Chill setting. Select the
appropriate setting for the food being stored.
Meat Storage Guide (42" [106.7 cm] Models)
Store most meat in original wrapping as long as it is airtight and
moisture-proof. Rewrap if necessary. See the following chart for
storage times. When storing meat longer than the times given,
freeze the meat.
Fresh fish or shellfish ........................ use same day as purchased
Chicken, ground beef, variety meat (liver, etc.) ................ 1-2 days
Cold cuts, steaks/roasts .................................................. 3-5 days
Cured meats .................................................................. 7-10 days
Leftovers - Cover leftovers with plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or
plastic containers with tight lids.
Quick Chill Setting (42" [106.7 cm] Models)
Each deli pan has a Quick Chill setting. Selecting Quick Chill
lowers the temperature of the deli pan for a 1-hour period.
NOTE: The deli pan temperature will be lower than the freezing
point for liquids. Remove items that may freeze, before setting the
deli pan to Quick Chill.
Crisper Pan
Above each deli pan is a crisper pan (the larger of the pans) which
is for your larger produce items.

Frozen Food Storage Guide
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food,
the type of packaging or wrap used (should be airtight and
moisture-proof), and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a
sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in
the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice
crystals.
Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within
24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 Ibs of food per cubic foot
[907-1,350 g per 28 L] of freezer space). Leave enough space in
the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be sure to leave
enough room for the door to close tightly.
For more information on preparing food for freezing, check a
freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
