“What distance above the machine can I safely install a countertop? Or can a countertop be placed directly on top of the machine?”

We have our countertop installed about two inches over the unit. However, as long as you have any space around the washer/dryer, I don't see why you would need more space. It's not generating heat like a microwave or refrigerator. I'm assuming you would have a vented dryer going to the outside. Keep in mind though that you should have some way to access the hot and cold shut offs in case of emergency!

The ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 4.5 Cu. Ft. 10-Cycle Front-Loading Smart Wi-Fi Washer with 6Motion™ Technology - White, Model # WM3500CW requires proper airflow around the unit so you cannot place a countertop directly above the washer. You should have a minimum clearance spacing of at least 13/64" (0.5 cm) above the washer as long as you have a clearance spacing of 1" for the sides and 4" for the rear...^IFV
