Ventilation Requirements
This type of cabinet must be carefully constructed using
the correct dimensions and it must provide suitable ven-
tilation to ensure proper appliance operation.
Kitchen Cabinet Airflow
The following ventilation dimensions must be observed:
There must be a ventilation space at least 31 in.² (200
cm²) per appliance at the airflow inlet (1) and at the air-
flow outlet (2).
The top ventilation space can be directed in one of the
following ways:
A) Directly over the appliance (2) with a gap between the
ceiling of the unit and the cabinet.
B) Above the cabinet and below the ceiling (3).
C) Through a vent installed in a soffit (4).
NOTE
The appliance ships with bumpers on the back of it to
allow the appliance to be pushed up against the wall
behind it and still provide optimal air flow for ventilation.
The refrigerator is designed to allow proper air flow when
the appliance is installed up against the wall.
A minimum space of 1 1/2" (38mm) is required behind
any cabinet above the appliance if ventilating above that
cabinet.

IMPORTANT!
Do not block the toe kick ventilation grille with a molding.
Intake ventilation is just as important as exhaust ventila-
tion. The appliance relies on natural convection to cool
the condenser mounted on the back. Improper ventila-
tion will lead to performance issues, shorter lifespan of
the appliance and will likely void warranty coverage for
any service issues resulting from incorrect installation.
