QuestionCan I put this on a deck - it will be covered from the rain, but it may be in humidity after the rain? And how heavy is it to move?
Asked 5 years ago by AudO.
- Answer Hi AudO - The freezer is not designed for outdoor use and should not be installed in a location exposed to rain water or direct sunlight. It should be installed in a dry, well ventilated room. Also, Net Weight is 63 pounds. Here's the link to the installation guide (See page 8): https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-1000422.pdf - Thanks for viewing GE! Sue
