ENERGY SAVING TIPS STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS
·The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from
heatproducing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
·Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance.
Overloadingthe 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
theappliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
·Appliance 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 manyitems as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as
possible.
