to
plan view of rear ventilation gap
The top of the cabinet needs to be
vented into the room
Recommended size of vent opening:
500 x 30mm
If the furniture does not allow free air
into the room then a plinth vent, or
other means of ventilation needs to be
provided to ensure a natural flow of air
There should be space at the rear of the
cabinet to allow cool air to be drawn
over the condenser.
Recommended:
500 x 35mm
An air intake should
be provided
somewhere in the
cabinet run to allow
free air in. In this

*
plinth
vent is shown
underneath the

A cutout should be
made in the

plinth
below the fridge/

finished neatly
using the air vent
grille.
Alternatively, a thin
section of the
*
plinth
can be removed to
allow air into the unit
