A:AnswerMake sure you have a power strip with a breaker of some sort in case of lightning or sudden power loss, or plugged into a outlet with power surge protection. That will help it work longer and not short it out
A:AnswerI would have to say that no matter what it is, if there's any liquid in it, you run the risk of a leak whether you put it on a hardwood floor or anywhere else. If you live in a humid area, you might find condensation problems (though I don't think that'll be an issue), but I'm in a desert and there's no leakage on my hardwood floor. If it concerns you, maybe find a tray, similar to the ones they use under a water heater, to place it on. You won't obscure any controls or anything if the edges stay under 6 inches tall. There is a drain hole on the front about an inch from the ground, but that's what you want to keep in the tray anyway.
A:AnswerThe actual exterior dimensions are (approx):
33.5 inches tall (floor to top with lid closed).
28.75 inches wide (left to right).
20.5 inches deep (front to back including the hinges on the back).
I measured this on my freezer. You should allow for extra space on both left and right sides and at the back. When the compressor runs these exterior sides get warm. This is normal and you need to allow for adequate air circulation to dissipate this heat.
A:AnswerI would suggest placing your thermometer at the very bottom of the freezer interior, to determine the interior temperature.
Not certain how you are measuring the door.
A:AnswerThey told me at the store that you could lay it down for a short amount of time to get it home. They said to let it stand upright for a few hours at home before turning the power on.
