What clearance space do I need to allow when installing this refrigerator?

Allow 2 inches of clearance on the hinge side of the refrigerator when installing next to a wall, 1 inch minimum clearance at the rear for proper air circulation and water/electrical connections, and 3/8 inch minimum clearance at the sides and top for ease of installation. You should also measure doorways and passages in your home to ensure the refrigerator can be moved through easily.
