THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
Axis-aligned rectangular appliance; clearance entries are total allowance per axis, e.g. both sides combined. Does not check door swing or installation safety.
Start with your inputs
Enter opening width, height, depth (cm), appliance width, height, depth (cm), total required clearances per axis (cm). Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Opening width, height, depth (cm) | 65,90,70 |
| Appliance width, height, depth (cm) | 60,85,60 |
| Total required clearances per axis (cm) | 4,3,8 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, remaining clearance by axis (cm) is 1, 2, 2. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Remaining clearance by axis (cm) | 1, 2, 2 |
| Fits all three axes | Yes |
How this is calculated
Remaining clearance by axis (cm)
Subtract appliance dimension and required total clearance from each opening dimension.
Fits all three axes
Every dimension must have nonnegative remaining clearance.
Symbols and units
- a
- Opening width, height, depth (cm)
- b
- Appliance width, height, depth (cm)
- c
- Total required clearances per axis (cm)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions and limits
Axis-aligned rectangular appliance; clearance entries are total allowance per axis, e.g. both sides combined. Does not check door swing or installation safety.
Calculations use the values you enter. Blank or invalid inputs show an error instead of silently substituting zero. Results are displayed to useful precision; calculations retain the underlying numeric precision.
Questions about this tool
What does the result tell me?
Remaining clearance by axis (cm); Fits all three axes. The result applies to the method and inputs described above. Check the units and assumptions before using it in a decision.
Why might another calculator differ?
Differences in units, rounding, timing or model definitions can produce different answers. Compare the input definitions and the method, rather than only the final number. For this tool: Axis-aligned rectangular appliance; clearance entries are total allowance per axis, e.g. both sides combined. Does not check door swing or installation safety.
