How full can I pack my freezer?
Keep your freezer as full as you need it to be, as long as the air vents are not blocked. For the most efficient operation, it’s best keep enough food to fill half of the freezer.

How many clothes can I put into the washer?
For a top loader, a general rule of thumb is to lay clothes loosely inside the washer until they reach the top of the agitator. For a front loader, fill it until it’s full, with minimal compression of the clothes.
How do I use the self-cleaning feature on my oven?
Every self-cleaning oven is different. Review your owner’s manual for the correct procedure for your oven. Most self-cleaning cycles are complete within two to three hours.
Often the steps are:
Set the Start time for the time you want the cleaning to begin.
Set the Stop time to a time two to three hours after the start time.
Close and latch the oven door.
Set the selector switch and/or thermostat to “Clean.”
How long should it take for my clothes to dry?
Most dryers can dry a full load of laundry in fewer than 45 minutes. If the load is still damp, the venting system is likely clogged and you’ll need to clean it out as soon as possible.
Are front-loading washers more efficient than top loaders?
Absolutely. In fact, the higher initial cost of a front loader can be recovered in just a few years through water, drying time, and soap-usage savings.
Can I put a refrigerator/freezer in my garage?
Yes. However, if you live in a region in which the temperatures drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius), this is not a good idea. Such temperatures could cause the oil in the compressor to thicken, leading to premature compressor failure or other issues. Also, refrigerator/freezer units often won’t keep food frozen when the temperature of the garage drops below 35 degrees Fahrenheit (1.6 Celsius).
