Ensure door seals are clean and tight. Test by closing door on a piece of paper; if paper slides easily, seals may need replacement.
Allow hot food to cool completely before placing in freezer.
Open door as briefly as possible. Plan removal of items in one action.
Do not overfill; ensure air can circulate around food packages.
Place appliance away from heat sources (oven, radiator, direct sunlight).
Regularly defrost if ice buildup exceeds 1/4 inch (despite NoFrost, minimal buildup may occur in very humid conditions).
