ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The upright 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 up-
right freezer. Overloading the upright 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 upright freezer. This cuts down on frost buildup inside the upright freezer
Freezer shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with
cold air circulation, making the upright freezer less efficient. Organize and label food to reduce door open-
ings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as
possible.
