The opening it needs

Includes the gaps Kenmore asks for.

Width44″112 cm

Height82″208 cm

Depth≈28″71.2 cm

The fridge is 36 in wide. The 44 in adds the 4 in of air space Kenmore asks for on each side
That room is for air to circulate, not part of the fridge. In a tighter space it can still slide in, but it may not cool as well
The hinges make it 70 in tall, not 69 in
30¼ in deep with handles: the doors stand out past counters
Next to a wall: leave 11/16 in on the hinge side
