Ideas for Saving Energy

Storing Food & Saving Energy

  •  Locate the freezer in the coolest part of the 

room, out of direct sunlight, and away from 

heating ducts or registers. Do not place the 

freezer next to heat-producing appliances 
such as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If this 
is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an 
added layer of insulation   between the two 
appliances will help the freezer operate  

 

more efficiently.

  •   Level the freezer so that the door closes 

tightly.

  •   Refer to the “SETTING THE TEMPERATURE 

CONTROL” section for the suggested 

temperature control settings.

  •   Do not overcrowd the freezer or block cold 

air vents. Doing so causes the freezer to run 

longer and use more energy. 

  •   Cover foods and wipe containers dry before 

placing them in the freezer. This cuts down 
on moisture build-up inside the unit.

  •   Organize the freezer to reduce door 

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

Vacation and Moving Tips

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 all food and unplug the power cord. 
  •   Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.  
  •   Leave the freezer door open slightly, blocking 

it open if necessary, to prevent odor and 
mold growth.

Moving: When moving the freezer, 
follow these guidelines to prevent 
damage:

  •   Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall 

outlet.

  •   Remove foods, then defrost, and clean the 

freezer.

  •  Secure all loose items such as base panel, 

baskets, and shelves by taping them securely 
in place to prevent damage.  

 

-  In the moving vehicle, secure freezer in an 

upright position to prevent movement.  Also 

protect outside of freezer with a blanket, or 
similar item.

Power Failure / Freezer 
Failure

If a power failure occurs, frozen foods will stay 
frozen for at least 24 hours if the freezer is kept 
closed. If the power failure continues, pack seven 
or eight pounds of dry ice into the freezer every 

24 hours. Look in the Yellow Pages under Dry Ice, 
Dairies or Ice Cream Manufacturers for local dry 
ice suppliers. Always wear gloves and use caution 

when handling dry ice.

If the freezer has stopped operating, see 

“FREEZER DOES NOT RUN” in the “SOLUTIONS 
TO COMMON PROBLEMS” section. If you 

cannot solve the problem, call Electrolux Service 
immediately.

If the freezer remains off for several hours, follow 
the directions above for the use of dry ice during a 
power failure. If necessary, take the food to a local 
locker plant until the freezer is ready to operate. 
Look in the Yellow Pages under Frozen Food 
Locker Plants.
