Using this Fisher & Paykel freezer basket is easy. Simply place it inside your chest freezer. You can use it to organize different types of frozen foods, like meats, vegetables, and ice cream. When loading the basket, try to distribute the weight evenly to avoid it tipping over. Remember, the handles are not included, so be careful when moving it. As for maintenance, it's a good idea to take the basket out of the freezer every few months and clean it with warm, soapy water. Then dry it thoroughly before putting it back in the freezer. If you're unsure if this basket fits your freezer model, check with us before you buy, and provide your full model number and product code. That way, you can be sure you're getting the right part.
