AIRFLOW VENTING RECOMMENDATIONS

OPEN TO CEILING OR SOFFIT CABINET

Soffit Cabinet Inductions

  • These type of installations require a minimum of 6″ (15.24 cm) of open space above the refrigerator. This space must not be blocked in any way, including soffits.
  • Depth of cabinet must be less than 25″ (63.5 cm).
  • If your opening does not meet these requirements, you will need to make modifications.
CLOSED SOFFIT CABINET

Closed Cabinet Inductions

  • Depth of cabinet must be less than 25″ (63.5 cm).

  • Height of soffit must not exceed 84″ (213.3 cm).

  • Following illustrations explain the cabinet construction (soffit and rear wall positions).

    Grey arrow = ambient air; Black arrow = warm air
    Cabinet depth 25″ and soffit located at 84″, provides proper airflow/ventilation to the refrigerator. Efficient cooling is achieved.
    Cabinet depth more than 25″ and/or soffit located at more than 84″, causes air gap at back and/or top of the refrigerator. Air gap allows warm air recirculation causing loss in cooling efficiency.

  • If your opening does not meet these requirements, you will need to make modifications.
