Chest freezers on the floor?

I remember reading somewhere that you shouldn't put freezers directly on the floor. Does anyone know why? They can't sit on the concrete floor?

HA, I do know that they dont recommend you have them on a garage floor in case any combustable gases (gas/chemical fumes)are in the area. The gases will build from the floor up since they are heavier than air and when the compressor starts it can spark.

Battery/ freezer- same difference

We have ours sitting on 2x6's to get it up off the floor so air will circulate around it better,but more so that when we do move it it won't be stuck to the floor and rip the linoleum.
