The issue is where the coils for that fridge are located. If they are not on the sides, then side clearance should not matter. For example I have a counter depth fridge, very little clearance on sides, it pulls air in the front bottom, it goes out the top, i guess, about 1/2" gap there. The manufacturer should have it spec'd for the min dimensions and I'd think it would be correct.
Does it work correctly when it's free of the cabinet?
