NOTE
The exterior walls of the freezer may become quite
warm as the compressor works to transfer heat from
the inside. Temperatures as much as 30°F warmer than
room temperature can be expected.
NOTE
If your freezer is placed with the door hinge side against
a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the
door can be opened wider.
