Hi. New user here. My question is a bit random but it's bugging me and I can't find an answer with Google. Have just read the installation guide for the new Asko and most of it is the usual stuff, but at the end it says 'Before connecting the washing machine to the power mains, wait for at least 2 hours until it reaches room temperature.' I did a double take after reading this and for the life of me I can't think of a reason for this. I understand with fridges / freezers / dryers with heat pumps etc. you need to let the compressor oil and refrigerant settle before use, but a washing machine?? Any thoughts?

Its to make sure that there is no condensation on any of the electrics/electronics, - but in NZ its not really a big issue

 

its in the IT sector too

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ts2900tapeautoloader?topic=planning-acclimation

 

 

"Server and storage equipment (racks and frames) must be gradually acclimated to the surrounding environment to prevent condensation.

 

When server and storage equipment (racks and frames) is shipped in a climate where the outside temperature is below the dew point of the destination (indoor location), there’s a possibility that water condensation can form on the cooler inside and outside surfaces of the equipment when the equipment is brought indoors.

 

Sufficient time must be allowed for the shipped equipment to gradually reach thermal equilibrium with the indoor environment before you remove the shipping bag and energize the equipment."
