1-1 of 1 Answer
This model Refrigerator needs: For Standard Side-by-Side Installation: To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for 1/2" (1.27 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 2" (5.08 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on each side (depending on your model) to allow the doors to swing open. For Counter-Depth Side-by-Side Installation: The refrigerator can be installed into a recessed opening, at the end of cabinets or as a freestanding refrigerator. If you are installing the refrigerator to fit flush with the front of the base cabinets, all shoe moulding and baseboards must be removed from the rear of the refrigerator opening. Allow for 1" (2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. Location should permit doors to open fully. We hope this information helps.
