Yes, but it’s important you give it about a day to settle before turning it on.

When purchasing a new freezer and transporting it home, please take a look at the following steps: -Keep the freezer in the upright position. -If transporting it in an upright position is not possible, lay it down on the compressor side of the unit. -Be careful to secure the door to prevent it from opening. - NOTE: If it has been transported on its side, set it upright in its final location and allow the freezer to sit for the same amount of time that it was on its side (24 hrs max.). Do not plug the unit into the electrical receptacle without allowing this settling time. The unit can be damaged if it is plugged in prematurely. If the unit was transported in an upright position there is no waiting time required. We hope that this is helpful! Please let us know if you need anything else! All the best. -Michael@GEA
