Energy-Saving Tips

. Location of your freezer is
important. Don’t locate it in a warm,
unventilated 

 area or storage

room. Avoid putting it next to your
range, a heating vent or where 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 door more
often than necessary and close it
as soon as possible, particularly in
hot, humid weather.

● 

 

 

 

 

careful not to leave the door open.
Always check to make sure the
freezer door 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 

 setting.
