What is the proper location and spacing for my refrigerator?

Allow for a 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) space on each side and at the top for ventilation. When installing next to a fixed wall, leave 2 inches (5.08 cm) minimum on each side to allow the door to swing open. Do not install near an oven, radiator, or other heat source, nor where temperature falls below 55°F (13°C).
