Can I place the back side of my refrigerator all the way to the wall?
The motor is located on the back side of a refrigerator and generates a lot of heat which can lower the cooling function. Please allow some space (at least 5cm) between your refrigerator and the wall in order to adequately ventilate the heat.
Allow your refrigerator some breathing room as well as enough leeway should you need to move it. Recommended clearance at the back, top and on the side is 50 mm (2 inches) while minimum space required at the front to open doors without any hindrance is 610 mm (24 inches).

Water - The refrigerator must be located where a water supply can be connected for the automatic icemaker.
Electricity - Use an individual, grounded outlet:115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC, 15 amps minimum.
Flooring - To avoid noise and vibration, the unit must be installed and leveled on a solidly constructed floor. If required, adjust the leveling legs to compensate for the unevenness of the floor.
Ambient Temperature - Install this appliance in an area where the temperature is between 55 °F (13 °C) and 110 °F (43 °C). If the temperature around the appliance is too low or high, cooling ability may be adversely affected. The internal temperatures could be affected by the location of the appliance, the ambient temperature, the frequency of door opening and other factors.
