Energy saving tips
•
The appliance 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 them inside. An overload will force
the compressor to run longer. Food that freezes too slowly may lose quality, or deteriorate.
•
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance.
This cuts down on frost build-up inside.
•
Storage bin 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 the door as soon as possible.
