Good morning all,

I hope I'm in the correct group for this questio, so here goes.
Yesterday, I had a new Candy washing machine delivered. Following the
instructions provided, I laid the machine down on its back to remove
packing etc prior to use. At this point about a pint of water poured
onto the kitchen floor!

My question is, would this water have been the what was left after
"testing" at the factory or, have I been sent a recon or a "returned
machine" from the distributor?

Thanks

There's often a bit of water left in from when the factory tested it. My
Miele instructions warned of this...

Cheers

Pretty normal, I think. My last two machines have had some water in
them.

Sounds normal to me, the instructions usually detail this and also tell you
to put the machine on it's hottest wash without any clothes in, to clean out
any solvents/oil etc.

Sparks...

Thanks to both of you. Pity my instructions didn't cover the
probability of flooding the kitchen.

I bought two Hoover machines last year, both had a small amount of water in
them. The manual even warned of this.

The packaging for my Indesit told me to expect some water (or was it the
Hoover Dishwasher?)
