Energy Saving Tips
• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room or
outdoor location, away from heat producing appliances and out of direct
sunlight.
• Ensure that the unit is adequately ventilated. Never cover air vents.
• Do not keep the door open any longer than necessary.
• Let hot items cool to room temperature before placing in the unit.
Overloading the unit forces the compressor to run longer.
• Be sure to wrap items to be stored properly, and wipe containers dry
before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the
unit.
• Unit shelves and storage bins should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax
paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making
the unit less efficient.
• Organize and label stored items to reduce door openings and extended
searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the
door as soon as possible.
To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open
