New Candy washing machine

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.

Are you sure it's water, or was the delivery man 'caught short' on the way :-)

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.

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.
