can I lay the freezer on it's side for shipping? null

It is not recommended. A rough ride could break mounts inside. If you do, then allow at least 24 hours in the upright orientation before powering on. This is so the compressor oil can be properly in the sump for lubrication. But I personally would find a way to move it standing upright.

Great question, Wade! We do not recommend an appliance such as a freezer to be transported on its side, back or upside down. However, should this occur we would recommend allowing at least 24-48 hrs with it sitting upright before plugging it in. We hope this information was helpful to you. -Ciara
