Q: Questioncan this freezer be plugged into a standard outlet in the garage? Does it require professional set up or can it just be plugged in on delivery? Is there a drain in it for defrosting? How often does it require defrosting? Is it energy star efficient?

Asked 4 years ago by Archie.

• A:Answer Hello, Archie! For the most efficient operation, place the freezer where surrounding temperatures will not exceed 110 degrees. Temperature of 32 degrees and below will not affect operation. Do not use additional compressor heaters. Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation: 27.5 inches across the top and 7.87 inches across the sides. This model can be plugged in on delivery. It is important to defrost and clean the freezer when 1/4 to 1.2 inch of frost has accumulated. There is a drain plug on the floor of the freezer, and an unscrew outside drain plug located on the lower left front of the freezer. This model is not energy star certified.

Q: QuestionI will be picking this chest freezer (Frigidaire 14.8 cu ft) up at the Best Buy Store and need to determine if it will fit in my vehicle. I see the dimensions of the actual freezer but what are the dimensions of it as boxed, particularly the width?

Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Thank you for reaching out to us. The boxed dimensions for this model can vary slightly, but generally, they are slightly larger than the freezer itself due to packaging materials for protection. For this model, the approximate boxed dimensions are: Width: 57-58 inches; Depth: 30-31 inches Height: 35-36 inches. To ensure it fits in your vehicle, measure your available cargo space and consider bringing along items like rope or straps if you plan to transport it upright or at an angle. You can also confirm the exact packaging dimensions by contacting Best Buy directly, as they may have the precise boxed measurements available in-store. - Maria

Q: QuestionDo they make any chest freezers that are frost free

Asked 10 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Good day, valued consumer! Frigidaire does not currently offer a frost-free chest freezer model. All of their chest freezers, including the 14.8 cu. ft. FFCL1542AW are manual defrost models. This means you'll need to periodically unplug and defrost them to prevent ice buildup. While manual defrost freezers are generally more energy-efficient and maintain more consistent temperatures, they require regular maintenance. If you're specifically looking for a frost-free freezer, Frigidaire offers frost-free upright freezers, such as the 15.5 cu. ft. FFCL1542AW model. These upright freezers feature automatic defrosting, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. For a chest freezer with frost-free capabilities, you might consider models from other brands. For instance, the Frigidaire AFFC1466DW is a 13.8 cu. ft. chest freezer with frost-free defrosting and adjustable temperature control. - Maico
