Condensation on exterior

• The door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside the freezer to meet warm moist air from outside.
• Condensation may condense during hot and humid days or depending on the place of installation.
• Do not place the chest freezer on carpet. Condensation may condense on the exterior surface during hot/humid days. This may cause mould on the carpet.

Moisture on inside of freezer walls

Excessive noise
