Energy Saving Ideas

• The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat

producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.

• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in 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 build-up inside the freezer.

• Freezer shelves and baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper,

or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer
less efficient.

• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.

Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close door as soon as
possible.
