Samsung recommends leaving at least 3/8" above the RF260BEAESR, as well as 1" behind it and 3/8" on each side to allow for ease of installation and air circulation. If either of the doors will open into a fixed wall, you should leave about 2" for hinge clearance and 3-3/4" for handle clearance, depending on the depth of the wall. Thank you for the question, Ms. Samsung
