Be sure the freezer does not tilt more than 45° from the upright
position during transportation.
Locate your freezer in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances or heating ducts and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the
freezer. Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer.
Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
The freezer storage shelves 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 the door as soon
as possible.

temperature you set, 42 hours after you shut the door. If the temperature
