This was a great choice. Looks nice and performs perfectly. I had not correctly measured the spot where I'd hoped to place it, so a temporary adjustment is working out for the time being. Please measure carefully, and do leave air space at sides, top and back (manual recommends 4"). The ENTIRE frame of the freezer is shrink wrapped...blue on the door, clear on the black box part. It's hard to see on the black part, but it is on there, and is a thick plastic to be peeled away. Once in place, as "the manual" says, I let it set for 24 hours before plugging in, to let the coolant stabilize from shipping and unpacking. Don't ever turn it on its side. I always read manuals and highlight those things that should be remembered.
Before plugging in, the manual says to be sure the temperature dial is on "4" to start. Then adjustments can be made later for more or less freezing. Dial is located on the back, bottom left. Temperature "1" is warmest, "7" coldest. Put on Zero "0" to defrost when necessary.
Also, as recommended, I first wiped down the inside with baking soda/water and then dried. There was absolutely NO odor of any kind before or after.
When first plugged in, while initializing, the outside of the case gets hot. Don't put anything on top of it at this time. I set several water-filled cups and items inside to monitor the freezing process, and as soon as I felt it was cold enough, put some of my frozen foods inside. They have stayed rock-hard at the "4" setting! I'm surprised at how much can be placed inside. I have room to spare, and am really pleased with this quiet, efficient little freezer.
