A:Answer Hello- Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us about this beautiful refrigerator. This unit must be installed in an area where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F to a maximum of 100°F. (The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F and 90°F.) It also needs to be installed on a floor strong enough to hold it fully loaded, and where it is not exposed to water, rain, or direct sunlight. We hope this information is helpful, and please feel free to reach out to us with any additional questions!- Kianna@Haier
