Alternate Construction Requirements Figure 3

1.Exhaust vent opening is inboard in relation to the rear of the refrigerator.

2.Baffles added to the top of the refrigerator to assist in directing air flow out the exhaust vent.

3.0-1/4 inch clearance at the top of the refrigerator.

4.Angle between baffles and rear top edge of the refrigerator not to exceed 45 degrees.

5.Deflectors added at rear in strategic locations adjacent to the cooling units condenser and ab- sorber coils to reduce clearance to 0 to 1 inch.
