5mm proud of kitchen cabinetry for doors to open.
A 5mm side clearance requires 50mm rear clearance.
If you do not have a cupboard above the refrigerator with
a rear gap of minimum 100 (Y), recommended clearance
at the top of the refrigerator are as follows: If gap (Y) is not
a minimum 100mm, then gap (Z) increases from 50mm to
90mm min. When positioned in a corner area, spacing of
at least 300mm on the sides will allow the doors to open
