Width37⅜″94.9 cm

Height≈70 9/16″179 cm

The fridge is 29½ in wide. The 37⅜ in adds the 3 15/16 in of air space Midea 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 66⅝ in tall, not 65⅝ in
30⅞ in deep with handles: sticks out past counters
