Help ! .............

We had to get up ultra early this morning to prepare for the arrival of a new washer . It is all plugged and plumbed in , and is staring at me from it's new home. It looks like it needs feeding, I have patted it a few times, and it hasn't responded. I have opened the door and put my hand in and it didn't bite. I have pressed a few buttons and it hasn't complained ......... . Now, what next .. oh the manual , only zillions of pages to digest before we get to see what the beast can do. The big decision is who's stuff goes in first , mine or his , ....... I shall feed it a few socks first and take it from there........ wish me luck , i'm going in.
