(4 inches)

Locate your fridge away from sources of heat e.g. cookers, radiators, direct sunlight as extreme temperature will affect its performance.

Allow a minimum 100mm (4 inches) between the top of the fridge and the ceiling or the underside of a wall cupboard.

Providing you follow the recommended ventilation requirements you will :-

Prolong the life of the fridge.

Minimise the risk of condensation on the outside of the fridge.

Minimise the running costs.

Minimise operating sounds caused by vibration.

Minimum space required to open door

The fridge needs a space of 600mm (24 inches) in front to allow the door to open. When positioning the fridge next to a unit, a gap of 30mm (11/4 inch) can be left at the hinge side of the door to allow the easy removal of furniture. If preferred the fridge can be positioned so that a gap is not left. This will restrict how far the door can be opened but the furniture can still be removed (see diagrams below). The door hinge side can be changed to make it easier to open (see ‘Door Reversal’ in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section).
