Default Using recessed clock outlet in back of fridge to save space

I recently renovated my kitchen and had gotten a counter depth fridge.
What I've noticed is that it does stick out a little and I noticed
that it's because the right angle plug is hitting the back of the
fridge. Apparantly, GE fails to inform you that the plug is 1+ inch
thick. Plus the outlet, even though it is installed corectly, does
stick out of the wall a little.
I was thinking of installing a recessed clock outlet so that the plug
is recessed to eliminate this problem. Has anyone done this before?


Does your user/installation documentation say anything about wall
clearance for ventilation?

If not, go for it. I know the water line and valve for my icemaker is
in a recessed alcove behind the reefer. The outlet isn't but other than
the ventilation issue, I don't know why it can't be.
