Energy Saving Ideas

• 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 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.
