Storing Food & Saving Energy

deas for 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

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.
