NKBA 40 Guidelines For Kitchen Design
Section 3 Appliance Placement & Clearance Space
Guideline 15 Proper Dishwasher Clearance

Guideline 15

A minimum of 21" clear floor space should be allowed between the edge of the dishwasher and counters, appliances and/or cabinets which are placed at a right angle to the dishwasher.
Comment: Notice in figures 2 and 3 how access to the sink is restricted when the dishwasher door is open. In these instances, the dishwasher should be moved further down the cabinet row to allow standing room at sink when the dishwasher door is open. Notice in figure 1 the dishwasher has easy access from both sides and in no way restricts access to sink.
