Energy Saving Ideas
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.

Cool Down Period
• For safe food storage, allow four hours
for the freezer to cool down completely.
The freezer will run continuously for the
first several hours. Foods that are already
frozen may be placed in the freezer after
the first few hours of operation. Unfrozen
foods should NOT be loaded into the
freezer until the freezer has operated for
four hours.
• When loading the freezer, freeze only
three 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.
