This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges is from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to

a maximum of 95°F (35°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces
electricity consumption and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended
that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
