Allow at least 211/4 in. (54 cm) in front of the washer to open the door.

NOTE: Please note that 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 in it, you may need to 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.
