Built in Under Counter Refrigerator FAQs

Smaller than a full sized refrigerator, an under counter fridge is generally under 34-inches (approx 860 mm) in height. However, the size dimensions of an appliance can differ as per its brand. At Hafele Luxury Appliances, the Asko under counter refrigerator comes in the dimensions of 820 - 900/ 596 / 545 mm (H/ W/ D)

Yes, an under counter fridge needs ventilation. Generally speaking, any integrated fridge or freezer would require air to be able to circulate under the appliance, behind the appliance and through the top of the appliance. 

This can mean having gaps or even vents in the cabinetry surrounding the appliance in the appropriate areas. In most cases, an installation manual will provide a diagram of the cuts and vents that you need. You can obtain these directly from the brand or supplier of the appliance.
