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.

o Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in freezer, Overloading

the freezer forces compressor to run longer, Foods that freeze too slowly may

lose quality, or spoil.

• Besure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in
the freezer, This cuts down on frost build-up inside freezer,

o Freezer 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 needed at one time, and close door as soon as possible,
