Energy Saving mdeas

o 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, Foods that freeze too slowly may lose
quality, orspoil,

o Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in

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 freezer lessefficient,

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

Read all instructions before using this freezer.
