Avanti FF1213PS Troubleshooting Guide, ¾ Energy Saving Tips, Problems With Your Appliance?

¾Energy Saving Tips

•The unit 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 them in the unit. Overloading the unit 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 freezer.

•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.
