3. Check seals: Ensure door gaskets are clean and sealing properly.
4. Allow cooling: Let hot food cool to room temperature before freezing.
5. Defrost food: Thaw food in refrigerator rather than at room temperature.
6. Keep full: A well-stocked freezer maintains temperature more efficiently.

Note: Frost-free operation eliminates manual defrosting, saving energy.
