I might need a new fridge and was reading the manual for a Liebherr under counter and it says NOTICE Risk of damage due to condensate! Do not place the appliance directly next to another cooling/refrigeration unit. And then it says unless I leave 100mm gap. Is this a standard thing now or just them. Thanks
So long as they are reasonably well ventilated there will not be a problem with that.
The problems come when there’s nowhere for the warm air to go at the back but, so long as you’ve got a way for that to expel you shouldn’t have any issues.

Thanks for that.
It will be sitting next to an under-counter freezer at the end of the run so it also has an end panel. There is a 400mm x50mm vent cut into the back of the worktop above it and is 1.5cm away from the end panel and 1.5 from the freezer, also a 1cm gap above to the worktop and its on its feet.
My main concern is that in the event of a warranty claim they will not honer it because of its site next to another chiller sauce like they say in the manual.
The silly thing is that the only models that start with an S are big tall units – ones that you are unlikely to stand next to each otherThe side by side ones are designed to be joined.
I’ve not seen that before and I’ve seen plenty sat aside one another so I do not know why Liebherr are saying that unless they are trying to avoid people shoehorning two together with inadequate ventilation to the rear and either side of the units as you do need some airflow around them.
