CHAPTER -7: TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

and locate the appliance in the coolest part of the room.
Locate the appliance ina cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliances are
not obstructed.
Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the freezer.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the
cabinet and cause the compresor to switch on unnecessarily often.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
Cover foods before placing them in the freezer. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
Do not block cold air vents. Doing so causes the freezer to run longer and use more energy.
