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 the 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.
Freezer storage bin 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.
