susan, To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, you will need to allow for ¹⁄₂" (1.27 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for 2" (5.08 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. Also, if you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, you will need to leave a 2" (5.08 cm) minimum space on each side (depending on your model) to allow the doors to swing open. We would not recommend installing the Refrigerator into a smaller cutout dimension that what is described in the Installation Instructions.
