Storing Food & Saving Energy 11

Ideas 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 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.
