ventilation for built in refrigeration

one of the biggest issues for built in refrigeration appliances is heat! usually caused by poor, or no ventilation. manufacturers give conflicting installation instructions for ventilation.

for full height appliances a 200cm² slot in the plinth and top of the built in housing along with a hole beneath the appliance will provide adequate ventilation for any built in refrigeration appliance.

for under counter items, fridge or freezer a slot in the plinth will suffice.

in the absence of manufacturer’s instructions the information provided can be used as a guideline for ventilation.
