• Locate the freezer
in the coolest
part of the room, out of
direct sunlight,
and away from heating
ducts or registers.
Do
not place the freezer
next to heat-producing
appliances
such as a range, oven, or dishwasher.
If this is not possible,
a section
of cabinetry
or an added layer of insulation
between
the two appliances
will help the freezer
operate
more efficiently.
•
Level the freezer
so that the door closes tightly.
•
Refer to the "SETTING
THE TEMPERATURE
CONTROL"
section for the
suggested
temperature
control settings.
•
Do not overcrowd
the freezer or block cold air vents. Doing so causes
the
freezer to run longer and use more energy.
•
Cover foods and wipe containers
dry before placing
them in the freezer. This
cuts down on moisture
build-up
inside the unit.
•
Organize
the freezer
to reduce
door openings.
Remove
as many items as
needed
at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
