• Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances may be required for wall, door and floor
moldings.
• Additional spacing of 1" (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer is
recommended to reduce noise transfer.
If a closet door is installed, the minimum air openings in the
top and bottom of the door are required (C). Louvered doors
with air openings in the top and bottom are acceptable.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
The washer can be installed using the standpipe drain system
