A:AnswerHi Les, we would recommend visiting the Use and Care Guide, page 3 for more information on where to place the Freezer. You can find the Guide at: https://content.syndigo.com/asset/a66ead06-ac6c-4962-b04f-958fda9ccba4/original.pdf.
A:AnswerIf you power goes out don’t open it at all
It’s should last for two days if you don’t open it
If you open it to check it you’ll lose a day. Be smart
If you have black or brown outs get a generator
A:AnswerHi Bill, Your freezer operates most efficiently when located in an area
where the temperature will not fall below 40°F (5°C). Place your
freezer in a location where the temperature will not fall below this
recommended temperature. We hope this helps
A:AnswerThank you for your reply. I'm not so concerned abut the STEADY running current which your averaging approach would indicate. Since I'm buying an emergency generator exclusively for the freezer, for economy sake I'll not have the ample spare capacity as your 9000-watt generator, and have to consider the peak surge current. Somehow, Whirlpool is very shy about revealing the information. The best I've seen is from an equivalent GE freezer. There they mentioned a steady state current of 5 amperes and a surge of 3X or 15 amperes. I know it is not fair to stick you with my question when Whirlpool is not forthcoming with such engineering data. Sorry.
A:AnswerThere are no baskets, just a 4" border wall to prevent items from spilling out at the bottom . I do feel a basket would be better also an extra shelf. Unit works great !
