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 towels.Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient. • Organize and label food to reduce lid openings and extended searches.Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the lid as soon as possible. 8 You can solve many common freezer problems easily..
