To ensure sufficient clearance for water lines and airflow, allow minimum clearances of at least 1 in. (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 in. (10 cm) behind the unit. Be sure to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances.

Allow at least 22 1/4 in. (56.6 cm) in front of the washer to open the door.
NOTE: The floor must be strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washer, when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If your floor has too much flex, reinforce it to make it more rigid.
A floor that is adequate for a top-loading washer may not be rigid enough for a front loading washer, due to the difference in the spin speed and direction. If the floor is not solid, your washer may vibrate and you may hear and feel the vibration throughout your house.
Do not install the end of the drain hose lower than 29 in. (73.7 cm) or higher than 96 in. (243.8 cm) above the bottom of the washer.

Install the elbow bracket near the end of the drain hose. Hang the end of the drain hose over the side of the utility sink. Use a tie strap to secure the drain hose in place.
