Energy-Saving Tips
•
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 the freezer. Overloading the
freezer forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose
quality, or spoil.
•
Be sure to 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's storage bin or baskets 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.
