CARE AND CLEANING

Preparing for Vacation

Tomaintainfreezerinoperationduringvacations,

besureyourhousepowerisnotturnedoff.Forsure

protectionoffreezercontents,youmaywanttoask

a neighbor to check the power supply and freezer

operationevery24hours.

Forextendedvacationsorabsences,youmaypreferto

moveyourfrozenfoodstoastoragelockertemporarily.

Ifyourfreezeristobeleftempty,disconnectpowercord

plugfromwalloutlet.Topreventformationofodors,

placeopenboxofbakingsodainfreezerandleave

freezer lid open.

Save Money and Energy

■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.

■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 buildup inside the freezer.

■Freezerbaskets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.
