Is it advisable to put a fridge with its back against a false wall? Any problem w heat ventilation? fire hazard?

Thanks...

What is your "false" wall made of?

Partition board? Hollow block?

My reno will only start in 2 weeks time. As per design, there will be a false wall built up using hollow block & that's where the fridge is going to be.

but I'm thinking of cutting back reno cost & use partition board instead... will it be a problem if the fridge's back is placed against a partition board wall?

I think a picture says a thousand words (pardon the lousy drawing... ). My place is those 5-room point block type... It does not have a storeroom but there's an enclave next to where the dining area is.

My plan is to convert that area to a store & make it accessible via aluminum sliding doors (See blue line)... A portion of it on the right will be walled up (thick yellow lines) to put the fridge (accessible on the kitchen side)...

With the fridge there, I'm not sure if partition board will suffice or should I use hollow block (for the yellow wall part)....

Any advice?
