properly by following the installation instructions in this

~ Installation instructions; Page 11
Check the machine. Never connect the utilities (power or
water) to or start a damaged machine! Contact customer
service!
Check to be sure your household electrical system
voltage and the voltage specifications on the washing
machine rating plate correspond.
Check to be sure the washer hot and cold water supply
taps are turned on.
Turning the washing machine on and off
The rotating Cycle Selector turns the washer on as wash
cycles are selected and off when the selector is later
turned to the vertical Off position.

Before loading your first load of laundry

Your new washing machine was tested before leaving
the factory. This process involves running various wash
cycles. As a result, a small amount of water may remain
in the tub and drainage system. Run a Drum Clean cycle
with no laundry to clean the system before your first load
of laundry.
First add 1 to 2 tablespoons of detergent to the main-
wash chamber II. Then run the Drum Clean cycle.
Wait for the cycle to finish.
Using the cycle selector to choose a wash
cycle
NOTICE: If the child lock feature is activated, you must
deactivate it before you can set a cycle.
