Can this freezer be put installed in an enclosed cabinet -- does it require ventilation?

Unit does have a compressor so it will need some ventilation to vent the heat that is produced during operation. Otherwise, it may not be able to cool as designed. Most of the ventilation needed would be towards the back of the unit.

I would say it can NOT be installed in an enclosed cabinet. There are coils on the back that require breathing room. There would need to be air flow of some type in order for it to function properly.

No this is not a built in unit, however, if you are building some custom cabinetry, then this could be custom fit into place quite nicely. Something to keep in mind is the air circulation required as this unit has to have significant space on the sides and back to ensure it can cool efficiently.

The unit must intake dry air and have a place to exhaust humid air, as long as there is a way for thr circulation of some air, some opening or openings -it will work. A completely sealed warehouse would not br a good idea. Also, remember, evap coolers aren't as cool as refrig ones. A lot depends on the moving air flowimg over the skin or outer clothes. It is good for cooling but not great. But it is also way more ecomomical about electrical usage,

Yes. It is an outdoor unit and cannot be installed inside due to ventilation requirements.

You could only if you allowed enough air flow around the entire unit, which sort of defeats the purpose of putting it in a closet. The instruction booklet says, "Allow for 5 inches of space between the back of the appliance and any adjacent wall... DO NOT build this appliance into an enclosure: This appliance is designed for a free-standing application only (that last part is all in bold) and is not intended to be 'built-in.'"

Yes you can. The refrigeration unit is all around the freezing cylinder and is no problem

From my experience, it works great as a refrigerator and great as an extra freezer at normal temps, but when you lower the temps you get a lot of built up ice. I mean an inch of ice all over everything in the freezer after just 3 days. with the doors closed and no moisture getting in. Sorry.

As far as I know, fine! We've had ours for six months with no problems. (There is no freezer compartment.)

No do not put it in Freezer compartment. The batteries may Die .I use it in normal refrigerator compartment and it works excellent!

yes it can be, however there must be a slight amount of space for the unit to breath like all refrigerators at least a few inches

I have my Rheem tankless unit on the outside in a "cabinet". It is installed this way for future cleanout should scale buildup happen. Our area can get down to approx. 18F. I put a light bulb in the cabinet which I leave on during the cold months. It is just enough to keep it warm enough so the pipes don't freeze. The colder it gets the more insulation you will need however, the area should be able to breathe as it is LP gas fired.

The manufacturer states that the unit is intended for placement in an air conditioned environment where the temperature does not exceed 80 degrees nor less than 50 degrees. Although it can be built-in (because it receives cool air from and ejects heated air to via the front panel), it is not to be placed in a confined area, such as a closet or pantry. In other words, it's intended for in-house use in the dining room, kitchen or living room. Note: the shelves are great, but it's a bit noisy...even the small recirculating fan inside makes commutator noise (rrrrrrr), which is dumb.

John, I believe it can be installed under the counter but you may have to provide some ventilation at the rear of the unit.Graham

I'm extremely happy with this oven, however, in the instructions it states it should not be built in as it needs to be freestanding with air around it. It is amazing unit but don't install inside cupboard would be my advice.

This unit is not meant to be used in an enclosed space. It vents through the full cap. However, I can't see why you couldn't just drill the correct size hole In the top and install a sending unit.

Im not quite sure but,just for safety reasons i would keep it in an open aired enviroment Such as on top of a counter.i have mine on top of my cabinet.
