Ventilation Support

Q: How Much Ventilation do I need?

A: Ventilation should be one of your first major installation considerations. All refrigerators, regardless of make, are heat transfer machines which transfer heat from the inside of the box by way of the evaporator, compressor and refrigerant to the condenser on the outside of the box to be dissipated to the air.

The cavity where the condenser is located MUST be adequately ventilated.

• Single door units require 30 sq.in. INLET and 30 sq .in. OUTLET. (With the exception of the R1200 which is designed with ventilation built into the front of the unit, and does not usually require additional ventilation.)

• Double door units require 60 sq .in. INLET and 60 sq .in. OUTLET (With the exception of the RFU9200, RFU9000, RFU9009, RFU8220, RFU8229, RFU7300, RFU6400, and RFU6406 which are designed with ventilation built into the front of the unit, and does not usually require additional ventilation.)
