ENERGY STAR is the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. Element's ENERGY STAR freezers are more efficient than the minimum federal efficiency standard, so they use less energy. This reduces your electricity bill while also being better for the environment.

Door Lock

Secure your frozen goodies with the built-in door lock on this upright freezer. Keep your foods perfectly frozen and protected by using the included key to lock your freezer’s door. This lock is designed with safety in mind and provides added security, preventing unauthorized access to the contents of the freezer.

A temperature control panel puts you in charge of how cold you keep your popsicles. The exterior electronic control allows you to easily change your upright freezer's temperature for the perfect storage conditions – without opening the door.

LED Interior Lights

Element's 13.8 cu ft upright freezer features long lasting and energy efficient interior LED lighting. These lights emit minimal heat to conserve energy and keep your freezer at a consistent temperature. See everything clearly while grabbing a late-night snack.

Freezing Technology

Element upright freezers use R600a freezing technology. The R600a iso-butane is used as a replacement for R12 and R134a in freezers and has a low Global Warming Potential. R600a keeps your freezer’s contents cold while being ultra-energy efficient.
