All dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, except for
closet door ventilation openings which are the minimum required.
For each arrangement, consider allowing more space for ease of
installation and servicing, and spacing for companion appliances
and clearances for walls, doors, and floor moldings.
Space must be large enough to allow door to fully open.
Add spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of washer to reduce
noise transfer. If a closet door or louvered door is installed, top
