Energy Saving deas
o 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.
o 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
• Besure 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 shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper
toweling Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less

Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as
possible
