closet door ventilation openings which are minimum required.  

This washer has been tested for installation with spacing of

for ease of installation and servicing, and 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.
