POWER FAILURE
If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay frozen for at least 24 hours if the freezer is kept closed. This will
help food to stay frozen.
If service is to be interrupted longer than 24 hours remove all frozen food and find an alternate solution

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 the 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 storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towelling.
•
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.
