Hi,

I'm building the refridgerator niche in my new kitchen. What's the
appropriate gap to have on either side? I was going to make it 1/2" on
either side, but am now wondering whether a larger gap is needed for
venting or for aesthetic reasons.

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
I can tell you it is real frustrating when you find that the opening is too
small somewhere for getting the refrigerator in. If everything is real plumb
and square you can get by with a very close fit but I like about an inch on
each side for maneuvering room.
