How much space does the refrigerator need for proper ventilation during installation?
Allow at least ½" (12.70 mm) of space on each side of the refrigerator. Allow 3" (7.5 cm) of space between overhead cabinets and the refrigerator top, and at least 1" (25.40 mm) between the back of the cabinet and the wall. If installing next to a fixed wall, leave a minimum of 2" (5.08 cm) on the hinge side to allow the door to swing open. (Page 3)
