Before loading your first load of
laundry
Your new appliance 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 and no detergent to
clean the system before your first load of laundry.
