Can I place my Back Bar Cooler against the wall?

That depends, if you have a back bar cooler with front ventilation then the answer is 'yes'. Front ventilation allows for placement against walls or other units for space saving. If your unit has rear ventilation then you are required to have at least 6" of space between the wall and the unit for proper ventilation to take place. Without this space, the condenser cannot blow out warm air properly and the unit will not remain properly cooled.
