Energy Saving Tips
• The freezer should be located in the
coldest area of the room, away
from heat producing appliances or
heating ducts, and out of the reach
of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room tem-
perature before placing them into
the freezer.
• Overloading the freezer forces the
compressor to run longer. Foods
that freeze too slowly may lose
quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and
wipe containers dry before placing
them in the freezer. This cuts down
on frost buildup inside the freezer.
• Freezer storage bin should not be
lined with aluminum foil, wax paper,
or paper towels. Liners interfere
with cold air circulation making the
freezer less efficient.
• Organize and label all food to re-
duce door openings and extended
searches. Remove as many items
as needed at one time, and close
the door as soon as possible.
