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.
