I checked this with a tape measure after reading your question.

I would safely assume 1 inch is enough between the side of the refrigerator " case / cabinet " and a wall for the doors to open to 90 degrees, I would also recommend more than that for ventilation. I hope this helps.

Hi there, our valued customer! If your unit is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space for the handle so the door can be opened wider. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified technician. -Chris
