Freezer exterior sides or top feel very hot to the touch during operation.

Safety: Surfaces may be hot but should not be scalding. Unplug the unit before cleaning coils.

Ventilation:

• Ensure several inches of clearance around the freezer for air circulation.
• Do not block front or rear ventilation grilles.

Condenser cleaning:

• If your Igloo model has exposed condenser coils, clean them thoroughly.

Door seal and run time:

• Check the door gasket and correct any leaks to reduce compressor run time and cabinet heating.

Monitor: Some warmth is normal, especially along the door frame, but if surfaces are extremely hot or there is a burning smell, unplug the unit and have it inspected by a technician.
