Correct Use - Miele PW 6241 Operating And Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Correct use


The maximum dry laundry weight is 53 lb (24 kg) for PW 6241 and
370 lb (32 kg) for PW 6321. See the "Program chart" for the maximum
recommended load sizes for individual programs.

Before using the washing machine for the first time, check that the
shipping struts have been removed (see "Installation – Removing the
shipping struts"). During spinning, a shipping strut which is still in
place may result in damage to both the washing machine and adja-
cent furniture or machines.

Never try to open the washing machine door 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 program descriptions and procedural information in the
program chart.

Laundry is only disinfected in programs with a disinfection step. All
other programs do not have a disinfection step (see the "Hygiene"
program chart).

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.

Disinfectants and detergents often contain chlorine-containing
compounds. When agents containing chlorine dry on stainless-steel
surfaces, the resulting chlorides can attack the stainless steel and
produce rust. Protect your washing machine from rust damage by us-
ing chlorine-free agents to wash, disinfect, and clean the stainless-
steel surface. If in doubt, have the manufacturer confirm the suitability
of the agent.
