Check with the mfg. to see how to properly shut them down. If shut off
and kept closed, they will probably mildew .. once mildewy, they will
reek to high heaven and likely impart the odor to food.

Don't know how much of a problem the mildew would really be, but
certainly if off for a week they won't be cold enough to keep the ice
cream when get the new delivery for a while again.

He could always experiment w/ what would work but doubt will get much
energy savings while having them cold enough to not have problems w/
the new stock...
