Energy Saving Ti s
•The a liance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat roducing
a liances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
•Let hot foods cool to room tem erature before lacing in the a liance. Overloading the
a liance forces the com ressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or
s oil.
•Be sure to wra foods ro erly, and wi e containers dry before lacing them in the a liance.
This cuts down on frost build-u inside the a liance.
•A liance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax a er, or a er toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the a liance less efficient.
•Organize and label food to reduce door o enings and extended searches. Remove as many
items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as ossible.
