FOOD STORAGE AND ENERGY SAVING TIPS • 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. • 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 spoil or lose quality. • 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. VACATION AND MOVING TIPS 1 Lift front edge up. 2 Pull shelf out. Replace the shelf by inserting the hooks at rear of the shelf into the wall bracket. Lower the shelf into the desired slots and lock into position. Short Vacations: Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks. Long Vacations: If the freezer will not be used for several months: • Remove all food and unplug the power cord. • Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. • Leave the freezer door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth.
