It's the oil in the compressor that you have to worry about, without that oil the compressor will burn it's self up, you might not get a nice fire out of the deal but the inner workings of it will not last long without oil.
other then that, as long as you keep it in a warm enough area (not outside in the winter) that the refrigerant can go thru it's whole cycle of turning in to a liquid and a gas, you should be fine, main reason that little fridge like that are so bad is they lack insulation and the warm compressor is tucked right tight in there.
