The rule of distance from heat sources
Never install a minibar next to a radiator, under a sun-exposed window, or against a bathroom wall with hot water pipes. External heat forces the system to work constantly, nullifying energy efficiency.
Ergonomic height
Placing the minibar at floor level forces guests and staff to bend down. Raising the built-in space 30-40 cm from the ground (e.g. in a mid-height compartment or on a plinth) drastically improves service ergonomics and product visibility.

Frequently asked questions
Can I place the minibar less than 1 meter from the bed?
Yes, but only if using absorption (0 dB) or extremely quiet Peltier technology.
Is it okay to hide it inside the clothes wardrobe?
It is not recommended. The heat generated at the back of the minibar would accumulate among the guest's clothes, creating a warm and unhygienic environment.
