the washer door.
■Washer dimensions
• Most installations require a ini u 4 in.
(10 c ) clearance behind the washer.
■Minimum installation spacing for
recessed area installation.
The following di ensions shown are for the ini u
spacing allowed.
Additional spacing should be considered for
installation and servicing.
• Additional clearances ight be required for wall,
door and floor oldings.
• Additional spacing of 1 in. (2.5 c ) on all sides of
the washer is reco ended to reduce noise
transfer.
Co panion appliance spacing should also be
considered.
