to the normal setting.
• Defrost the freezer whenever the frost become 1/4" thick.
• A full freeze rstays cold longer than a partty filled one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a
freezer full of baked goods.
• 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 foodsproperly and wipe containers dry before placing them in thefreezer° This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer.
• Freezer shelves and baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
