Normally yes, you just screw on the hose to the tap on your wall and then open gently to see if it's on properly with no leaks as
fatmanfilms suggests.
Next get the drain hose from the back of the new machine and work out how it'll go into your waste pipe on the wall, clip the pipe around the U-shaped plastic frame supplied with the new machine and stick the end well down into the waste pipe.
Then check the electricity, it could a direct wired connection (mine was) or a plug, but the plug might be different to usual with square pins or even five pins (a T15).
And before all of this normally you'll want to empty your old machine or water before it is taken away, if you have a drain on the floor in the room then open the little filter/door at the bottom of the machine very slowly and the water will run out. If you don't have a drain, use a tray, pot etc.
