Option 1: Have a completely open back with a minimum of 2” between the back of the unit and the wall
The cabinet needs to have a minimum of 2” of clearance from the wall with no restrictions for the heated air
to rise from the back.
Option 2: If an open back is not possible an exhaust ventilation opening with a minimum of 33 square inches
must be created on the top. A minimum of 2” must be maintained between the back of the unit and the
back wall of the cabinet. A formed grill, cutout opening or a series of slots on top of the cabinet with an
area equal to 33 square inches. The location should be just above vents for the condenser coils at the top of
the unit.
Recessed Installation Model (AR2416B) Guidelines
Avanti’s industry exclusive Recessed Installation All-Refrigerator, model AR2416B, was designed specifically for the hotel
trade and requires less clearance than other compressor models. It only requires ½’’ (1.27cm) clearance on both sides
and 1 ½’’ (3.8cm) on the top and at the back of the unit. Although designed for Recessed Installation, it is NOT a fully
Built-In unit and still requires ventilation provisions outlined above.
Additional guidelines:
A minimum clearance of 1 ½ ” (3.8cm) on both sides and 2” (5cm) on the top is required.
The feet and leveling legs must be installed on the product to insure proper clearance and airflow at the bottom of the
product.
All guidelines are based on a typical room temperature of 77F (25C) degrees.
Even with proper ventilation the product must be routinely checked and cleaned of dust build up on the vents and
electrical components.
The ambient air inside the cabinet while the refrigerator is in operation should not exceed 90F (32C)
If you have any questions or would like additional information on your ventilation plans please contact Avanti
Hospitality Division.
