SAVING ENERGY 17 • Locate the appliance 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 them in the unit. Overloading the appliance 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 unit. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.
