• Arrange frozen food systematically so you can quickly find what you need.
• The location ofyour freezer isvery important. Don't situate itin a warm, unventilated room, next to
your range orheating vent or where it is in direct contact with the sun.
• If you turn the temperature control to the coldest setting for quick freezing, don't forget to turn itback
to the normal setting,
• Defrost the freezer whenever the frost become 1/4" thick.
• A full freezer stays cold longer than a partly 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 inthe freezer. Overloading the freezer forces
the compressor to run longero Foods that freeze too slowty may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sureto wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them inthe freezer, This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer,
• Freezer shelves and baskets should not be lined with aluminum foil, wa_xpaper, or paper towelingo
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
