A:Answer Hi, To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow minimum
clearances of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the washer. Be sure
to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may increase the required clearances. Minimum vertical space from floor to overhead shelves, cabinets, ceilings, etc., is 58 inches (147 cm). The end of the drain hose should be located a minimum of 29.5 inches (75 cm) and a maximum of 96 inches (244 cm) above the bottom of the washer. • For best results, locate the end of the drain hose
no higher than 66 inches (168 cm) above the bottom of the washer. As the drain outlet is raised beyond 66 inches (168 cm), the drain function will be increasingly affected. ^Vanessa
