To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a ¹⁄₂ in.
(12.70 mm) space on each side. Allow 3 in. (7.5 cm) of space
between overhead cabinets and refrigerator top. Allow at least 1
in. (25.40 mm) between back of cabinet and the wall. If your
refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave some extra
space at the back for the water line connections.
■ If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave
2 in. (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your
model) to allow for the door to swing open.
■ Level the refrigerator. See “Door Closing and Alignment”).
NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall
below 55°F (13°C).
