- Features
- Freezer Type: Chest (Chest freezers have a lid that lifts from above and open storage space within, helpful for storing bulk items. Upright freezers open from the front and provide vertical storage, which helps keep items accessible. Column freezers are similar to upright but are typically built-in to complement existing spaces.)
- Convertible To Refrigerator: false
- Defrost Type: Manual (Ice build-up can reduce the appliance’s cooling capacity, making it work harder and consume more energy. Defrosting is necessary to maintain its efficiency and each type has its own advantages depending on user needs and preferences. Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)
- Defrost Indicator: false (Signal that alerts you when it is time to defrost the freezer.)
- Temperature Control Type: Adjustable
- Control Location: Exterior
- Garage Ready: true (Garage Ready appliances have been tested by the manufacturer to operate within a wider range of external temperatures than the average home environment, such as a garage which can fall below freezing or heat above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation for detailed external operating temperature requirements.)
- Quick Freeze: false (Feature that allows you to quickly reduce the temperature when needed, perfect for chilling drinks or freezing large quantities of fresh food. Fast freezing may help maintain food quality.)
- Soft Freeze Zone: false (Designated compartment kept at a temperature colder than the refrigerator but slightly warmer than the freezer. Keep ice cream frozen but ready and easy to serve in this storage zone.)
- Sabbath Mode: false (This mode complies with the rules of Halakha and allows Shabbat-observant people to use the appliance on the Shabbat and other Jewish holidays.)

- Minimum Operating Temperature: 0 degrees fahrenheit (The lowest recommended ambient (surrounding) temperature in which the product can ideally operate stated by the manufacturer. Generally long-term exposure of the product to temperatures less than the minimum can result in ineffective operation.)
- Maximum Operating Temperature: 110 degrees fahrenheit (The highest recommended ambient (surrounding) temperature in which the product can ideally operate stated by the manufacturer. Generally long-term exposure of the product to temperatures more than the maximum can result in ineffective operation.)

A: Hello JSJSJS331, Thank you for reaching out. We're happy to answer your question. These holes are for vacuum release. The lid of the unit would be very difficult to open without these holes. Frost in this area is normal. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us via social media or through our Contact Us page. We hope this helps. Best wishes. Mike@GEA
Q: How much amperage does this freezer draw? Does it require GF circuit?
A: Hi Jjm1274, thanks for reaching out to us and for your patience. We truly appreciate you considering this amazing garage ready chest freezer for your home and are happy to answer this for you! The running amps for this freezer is 1.2. We would recommend multiplying that by 2 to account for the surge or start-up amps that the freezer will draw when the compressor cycles on. It requires a 120-volt individual, properly grounded branch circuit with a 3 prong grounding type receptacle, protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse on a dedicated circuit. Please feel free to reach back out to us if you have any additional questions about the necessary electrical connections or installing it in the future. We are always happy to help! -Eliza@GEA
A: Hi John, Thank you for reaching out. We're happy to answer. "Garage ready" models are models that can perform at room temperatures ranging between 0 degrees F and 110 degrees F.
