Save time and money. Before you call for service,
check the Problem Solver. It lists causes of minor

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

Location of your freezer is important. Don’t locate it

in a warm, unventilated laundry area or storage
room. Avoid putting it next to your range, a heating
vent or where the sun will shine directly on it.

Try to arrange your frozen foods systematically so

you can find what you want in the freezer quickly.

Don’t open the freezer lid more often than necessary
and close it as soon as possible, particularly in hot,

humid weather.

When using your freezer, be careful not to leave the
lid open. Always check to make sure the freezer lid
is properly closed before leaving the house 

or

retiring for the night.

If you turn the temperature control to the coldest

position for quick freezing, don’t forget to turn it
back to the regular setting.

Defrost the freezer whenever frost becomes 1/4” thick.
