The only way I can get the kitchen layout to work is to install the

I'd be surprised if there'd be enough clearance with all hobs and all
w/ms to leave the manufacturer's minimum clearance. So might
constrain your choice of replacements.


I didn't even know the manufacturers specified a minimum clearance!

They have installation manuals!

And for bouncy things like washing machines it is probably quite a good
idea.
