Before the washer is used for the
first time, it needs to be properly
installed and connected. See
"Installation and connection".
Because the washer was put through
a complete operational test in the
factory, there will be some water left
in the drum.
For safety reasons, the washer will not
spin until it has been prepared for use.
To activate the spinning function, you
will need to run a wash programwithout
laundry and without detergent.
If you use detergent, it will cause
excessive sudsing.
This preparation step also activates the
ball valve in the drain. Once activated,
the ball valve helps prevent detergent
escaping from the suds container into
the drain during a wash program, thus
ensuring maximum use of the
detergent.
