In
order to allow for proper air circulation and allow the gas fridge to breathe,
there are a few rules to follow when designing the gas refrigerator space. Allowing for ample clearance around the unit is
usually enough to allow proper air circulation.
If air circulation is limited, there could be long term damage. Gas Fridge explains proper ventilation for
your propane refrigerator:
We describe this as best case since there are no structures (cabinets, shelves,
etc…) above to obstruct the heat from rising out from the rear of
the unit and also with at least one side being completely open, there is no
need for further ventilation.
Figure 2 – Limited top vent
A limited air escape at the top rear of the unit must be addressed with a vent to allow the hot air to rise up and escape. Trapping the hot air behind the unit will cause poor performance and long term damage.

Figure 3 – Boxed in. Worst case
The built-in type of construction is worst case scenario and is not recommended without proper ventilation. Some manufactures will void warranty for this type of install and no or limited venting.

Keep the absorption coils and fins clean from dirt and debris to allow for better heat transfer. Never set anything on top of the refrigerator the covers or partially covers the cooling fins.
