  Vacation Time 
•  Short vacations: Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than three weeks. 

•  Long vacations: If the freezer will not be used for several months, remove contents and unplug 

the power cord.  Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.  To prevent odor and mold growth, leave 
the door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary. 

  Moving Your Freezer 

•  Remove all stored items. 

•  Securely tape down all loose items, such as shelves, inside your freezer. 

•  Turn the leveling screw up to the base to avoid damage. 

•  Tape the door shut. 

•  Be sure the freezer stays secure in the upright position during transportation.  Also protect 

the outside of the freezer with a blanket or similar item. 

 

  Energy-Saving Tips 

•  The freezer should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing 

appliances, and out of the direct sunlight. 

•  Let warm items cool to room temperature before placing in the freezer.  Overloading the 

freezer forces the compressor to run longer.  

•  Be sure to package stored items properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the 

freezer.  This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance. 

•  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 items to reduce door openings and extended searches.  Remove as 

many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
