Ventilation Requirements 24", 30", 48" and 60" Models
The refrigerator is designed to allow proper air flow
when the appliance is installed up against the wall.
A minimum space of 1 1/2" is required behind the
cabinet when venting above an upper cabinet which is
installed flush to the top of the appliance.

Do not restrict the air flow. The opening can either be
directly over the appliance
1
, above the cabinet and
below the ceiling

or through a vent installed in a soffit
3
.
The cabinet height as specified at 80” (2032 mm) will
create a 1-5/16” (33 mm) gap above the appliance
providing optimal air flow over the top of the appliance for
its efficient operation.
To have the same air flow for CS 1410 appliances, the
cabinet opening height must be 73-3/4" minimum.
Be sure to consider the possibility of having to raise
some of the leveling legs in order to level the appliance
when installing. If you adjust the height of the appliance -
it will effectively reduce air flow. Therefore leave yourself
some room for adjustment.
IMPORTANT
The section between the freezer door and the floor must
not be covered.
