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 freezer, Overloading

freezer forces compressor to run longer, Foodsthat freeze too slowly may lose

quality, or spoil,

• Besure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in

freezer, This cuts down on frost build-up inside freezer,

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

toweling, Linersinterfere with cold air circulation, making freezer lessefficient,

• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches,Remove
asmany items needed at one time, and close door as soon as possible,
