 To assure sufficient air supply and circulation to the 

condensing unit, a minimum clearance of 12" above the grill and 3" on each 
side and back of the cabinet must be provided (see figure 1). If necessary, 
special venting or air supply ducts must be installed by the installer for this 
purpose. Do not at any time obstruct the grill area in front of the cabinet in any 
way, and never place or store anything on top of the cabinet machine 
compartment. These rules are essential for maximum cooling capacity and long 
life of refrigeration parts.

MINIMUM CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS 

 

The floor at the final location site must be level, free of vibration and strong enough 
to support the total combined weights of your new model plus the maximum 
product load which might be placed into it. A fully loaded reach-in or roll-in model 
may reach 2,000 - 3,000 pounds. To estimate the possible product load weight, 
assume that each cubic foot of storage space weighs approximately 35 pounds. 
Multiply 35 pounds by the amount of cubic feet in the cabinet and obtain the 
product load weight. For example, a 20 cubic foot refrigerator can hold
