- Allow at least 5 inches of space between the back and sides of the refrigerator and any adjacent walls to ensure proper air circulation.
- Avoid placing the refrigerator in direct sunlight or near heat sources like stoves or heaters.
- Ensure the refrigerator is level by adjusting the leveling legs at the bottom.
