Care
Troubleshooting
Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in
•
the freezer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer.
•
Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in

the freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.

Parts and
Features
Do not line freezer storage shelves 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 then
close the door as soon as possible.
Do NOT add a large amount of unfrozen food to the freezer at one
•
time. This will lower the cooling efficiency of the freezer.
