CHiQ Fridges Clearance Requirements
CHiQ fridges installed in Australian homes require 20mm side, 50mm rear, and 50mm top ventilation clearance per manufacturer guidelines. Notable: narrower side clearance than most brands (20mm vs 40mm average), which can help in tighter cavities; above-average rear clearance (50mm vs 25mm default) — leave extra wall space for airflow. Insufficient clearance can void warranty and cause premature compressor failure.

Installation Tips
- Push fridge at least 50mm from the wall before securing — use a tape measure, not eyeballing.
- If installing under overhead cabinetry, confirm 50mm gap above the lid or top panel.
- Measure your cavity before purchase — fridge dimensions vary by ±20mm between models within this brand.
