If installing the refrigerator next to
another refrigerator/freezer, there must
be a minimum clearance of 1" (25 mm)

condensation.
If a panel or cupboard is installed
above the appliance, ensure to leave a

To ensure that the doors can open all
the way, maintain the lateral minimum
clearances when installing the
appliance in a corner or recess (see
section on "Appliance and installation
