What should I do before running the washing machine for the very first time?

Run a wash cycle without any laundry loaded to remove any water left over from factory testing. Add half a measuring cup of detergent to compartment II, close the door, turn on the tap, and run a 60°C programme. After the programme ends, leave the door open to allow the inside to dry out. (Page 8)
