Refrigerant and Sealed-System Work
Intentionally venting refrigerant while maintaining, servicing, repairing or disposing of refrigeration equipment is prohibited; only limited releases, such as de minimis amounts during good-faith recovery, are allowed.

Standard refrigerators should not be installed where temperatures drop below about 60°F or exceed 110°F; cold thickens compressor oil and heat can break it down and damage the sealed system. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator Installation Location and Temperature
