zinussa fridge freezer sides getting warm-is this dangerous?

Hi,

I just bought a frost free zanussi freezer from currys and it works fine, got good reviews from customers on their site

http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/zanussi-zrb224nwo-fridge-freezer-white-04982314-pdt.html

but I do notice as stated by one of the customers that the sides of the fridge freezer can get quite warm and just would like to be reassured that this is not dangerous. Only side can get warm not front.

hasn't got much free ventilation at parts of sides but plenty of ventilation space at back.

Would you be worried about this, thanks for any advice.

    A lot of fridges and freezers get warm on the sides. As long as you follow the instructions with regards to the minimum clearance at either side of the freezer, you'll be fine...
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands
