Compressor fridge vents

I fitted a weaco 110ltr fridge freezer over 13 years ago with no outside vent as it was a pvc conversion but I do have a vent inside above the fridge in the splash back + it has about 2in clearance all round it .

Now if you had told me you had a Skoda Fridge running on Linux I might have believed it needs no ventilation 😉 but as it is you have a thermoelectric fridge which has specific ventilation requirements, #8 of the installation warnings states "Keep ventilation areas open and clear, if the appliance is in an enclosure or in a built-in structure, ensure it is clear of obstruction and has adequate ventilation."
 
When things run, they get hot. If there is no place for the heat to escape, then things just get hotter and hotter. Simple fact really, so if there is no space for airflow you end up with a fridge likely running harder than it needs to and maybe failing prematurely?
Doesn't need external ventilation as no combustion gasses to remove or burner to feed oxygen to
