SA GY EY SA ENERGY SAVING TIPS VE MON • The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight. VE ENER • Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer. Overloading the freezer 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 freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the freezer. • Freezer shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer 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. SETTING THE temperature CONTROL Shelf Front Cool Down Period • For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the freezer to cool down completely.

Unfrozen foods should NOT be loaded into the freezer until the freezer has operated for 4 hours. • When loading the freezer, freeze only 3 pounds of fresh food per cubic foot of freezer space at one time. Distribute packages to be frozen evenly throughout the freezer. It is not necessary to turn the control knob to a colder setting while freezing food. 4
