A:AnswerIt weighs around 150 pounds (unit only) and approximately 180 boxed. We (two adults) moved it into and out of a truck with no problems. If you are going to plug it in right away, it should be transported upright. If you put it on its side, wait 24 hours after placing it upright before plugging it in.
A:AnswerHave the unit stand upright for at least 2 hours before plugging the unit to power, clean the interior and wait for at least 24 hours before placing food inside the unit.
A:AnswerHi there!
The inside dimensions are 21.3" wide x 16.8" deep and the shelves are removable.

A:AnswerIt's garage rated. But having lived in MN for many years I know fridges struggle in sub freezing weather. I'd turn it off, put some spotted cow and raw curds in it and hope for the best.
A:AnswerHello NeilS,
Allow 7.9 inches (20 cm) of space between the sides of the freezer and the walls, 3.9 inches (10 cm) between the back of the freezer and the wall, and 11.8 inches (30 cm) between the top of the freezer and the ceiling. This allows for proper air ventilation.

A:AnswerThis freezer has an advanced design feature that lets you change it from a freezer to a refrigerator. The Freezer/Fridge light on the control panel indicates the current mode.
1 Press and hold Lock for three seconds to unlock the control panel.
2 Press and hold the Freezer/Fridge button for three seconds to change modes.
The panel beeps and the indicator changes to the new mode.

A:AnswerAnything over 40 degrees in a refrigerator generates opportunities for bacteria to grow and give you a foodborne illness. Shame on this company for having a refrigerator that allows the temp to go up above this- and SIGNIFICANTLY above the safety zone. Do NOT buy for a fridge!
A:AnswerYes. We qualified that before purchasing it. Instructions said leave standing full 2 hours before plugging in to allow all fluids to return to proper spaces HOWEVER we chose a full 24 hours just to be safe because we read that on a "tips" sight. Plugged in, waited required 30 minutes, set digitals for FREEZER. All went, and still going well.
A:AnswerHello,
We know you are trying to put your unit in a tight place. Allow me to explain that the door can be remove and than added again for you to do this. Just keep in mind, that the door has to be close all the way for it to work the correct way once is installed.

A:AnswerUsing a heavy-duty extension cord with your Insignia™ 13.8 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Convertible Upright Freezer is possible, but it comes with important considerations to ensure safety:
1. Extension Cord Specifications:
- Use a heavy-duty extension cord with a minimum gauge of 12 or 14. This ensures the cord can handle the power requirements of the freezer.
- The extension cord should be rated for at least 15 amps to match the freezer's power draw.
2. Length of the Cord:
- Keep the extension cord as short as possible to minimize voltage drop and reduce the risk of overheating.
3. Safety Precautions:
- Ensure the extension cord is fully unrolled to prevent heat buildup.
- Avoid running the cord through walls, doorways, or windows, as this can cause damage and create fire hazards.
- Regularly inspect the cord for any signs of wear or damage.
While using an extension cord can be a temporary solution, it's generally recommended to install a new outlet closer to the freezer for a more permanent and safer setup.
If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
