odor free and running efficiently.

Moving Your Freezer
•
Remove all the food.
•
Securely tape down all loose items inside your freezer.
•
Remove the rollers to prevent damage.
•
Tape the doors shut.
•
Be sure the freezer stays in the upright position during transportation.
Energy Saving Tips
•
The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the 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 build-up inside the freezer.
•
Freezer storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
•
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
