Recessed area or closet installation
Dimensions show recommended spacing allowed, except for
closet door ventilation openings which are minimum required.
Consider allowing more space for ease of installation and
servicing, spacing for companion appliances and clearances
for walls, doors, and floor moldings. 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 and bottom air openings in
door are required.
