It would be best if you keep your freezer in a place located near a grounded electrical outlet. In order to guarantee correct functioning, the appliance should be placed in a spot where the temperatures will not exceed 110°F. I recommend that you place this device in the coolest area in the room, away from any heat-producing devices and out of direct sun rays. The freezer must have all bottom corners placed firmly on a solid floor. If the surface is not level, the door could be misaligned and not seal correctly, which could lead to frost and moisture problems.
