Correct use


The maximum dry laundry weight is

- for PW 6243: 24 kg
- for PW 6323: 32 kg
See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended load
sizes for individual programmes.

Before using the washing machine for the first time, check that the
transport safety devices have been removed (see "Installation – Re-
moving the Transport safety devices"). During spinning, transport
safety devices which are still in place may result in damage to both
the washing machine and adjacent furniture or machines.

Never try to open the drum door of the washing machine using
force. The door can only be opened when a corresponding message
appears in the display.

When washing with high temperatures, remember that the porthole
glass and drum door become hot. You must therefore keep children
away from the porthole glass and drum door during the wash cycle.

Close the drum door after each wash cycle. This will prevent:
- Children climbing into the washing machine or hiding things in it.
- Pets or other small animals climbing into the washing machine.

Always close the drum door carefully. There is a risk of crushing
and injury by shearing in the area around the hinges of the drum door.

It must be possible to open the drum door fully. There must be no
doors or other structural elements in the vicinity which prevent the
drum door from opening.

Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching in to
remove laundry. Touching a moving drum poses a significant risk of
injury.

The procedures and machines listed here are not medical devices.
Observe the programme descriptions and procedural information in
the programme chart.

Laundry is only disinfected in programmes with a disinfection step.
All other programmes do not have a disinfection step (see the "Hy-
giene" programme chart). If laundry that has not been disinfected is
transferred to the "clean" side of the washing machine, germ transfer
or contamination may occur. The transfer of non-disinfected laundry
to the "clean" side is the sole responsibility of the supervisor.

This washing machine may only be operated without supervision if
there is a floor drain (gully) in the direct vicinity of the washing ma-
chine.
