Correct use


The maximum load (dry laundry)
- for PW 6163: 16 kg
- for PW 6243: 24 kg
- for PW 6323: 32 kg
See the "Programme chart" for the maximum recommended loads for
individual programmes.

Before using the machine for the first time, ensure that the transit
bars have been removed (see "Installation - Removing the transit
bars"). During spinning, transit bars which are still in place can cause
damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.

Never try to open the drum door of the washing machine using
force. The drum door can only be opened if appropriate information is
shown in the display.

When washing with high temperatures, remember that the porthole
glass and the drum door become hot. Therefore, prevent children
from touching the porthole glass and the drum door during washing.

Close the drum door after each wash programme. This way you
will avoid the danger of
- children climbing into the washing machine or hiding things in it.
- Small animals climb into the washing machine.

Always close the drum door carefully. There is a risk of crushing
and cutting on the hinges of the drum door.

It must be possible to open the drum door completely. The
opening range of the drum door must not be obstructed by doors or
structural conditions.

Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching in to
remove laundry. There is a considerable risk of injury when touching a
drum that is still rotating.

The procedures and machines listed here are not medical devices.
Observe the programme descriptions and procedural notes in the
programme chart.

Disinfection of the laundry only takes place in the programmes with
a disinfection stage. All other programmes do not have a disinfection
stage (see programme chart - "Hygiene"). If laundry that has not been
disinfected is transferred to the "clean" side of the washing machine,
germ transfer or contamination can occur. The transfer of non-
disinfected linen to the "clean" side is the sole responsibility of the
operator.

This washing machine may only be operated without supervision if
there is a floor drain (gully) in the direct vicinity of the washing
machine.
