STORING FOOD AND SAVING ENERGY
• The appliance 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 unit. Overloading the appliance
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 unit. This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
•
The unit should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
•
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many
items as needed at one time, and close door as soon as possible.
