2.5 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 in the appliance. Overloading the 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 the appliance. 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 efcient.
• 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.
