good ventilation around the appliance
for the dissipation of heat. For this
reason, sufficient clear space should
be available around the refrigerator.
Suggest :It is advisable for there to be
at least 75mm of space from the back
to the wall, at least 100mm from its
top,at last 100mm from its side to the
