The ÖKO-system Your new ÖKO LAVAMAT from the AEG ÖKO System fulfils all current and future requirements of modern wash care and enables an individual and multiple choice of programmes. The most economical use of water, power and detergent contributes to environmental relief and ensures the best economy.
For the sake of the environment ... These instructions will help you to act in an environmentally conscious manner : ÖKO tips for economic washing For normally soiled washes, programmes without prewash are provided. Compared to a programme with pre-wash, you save on water and detergent. Only use detergent with bleach additive if the wash is soiled with spots which can be bleached. Bleaches are particularly effective at high temperatures. Consumption of the machine is most favourable when it is full.

Summary of instructions for use Prepare the wash Sort, pre-wash treatment Choose the programme and the temperature Set the programme selector to the required programme and set the temperature selector If required, press additional buttons Open the lid Place the washing in the machine Add detergent Close the lid Press the on/off button At the end of the programme After 2 minutes of waiting time, open the lid.
Before the wash Sort the washing Check that the fabrics are machine washable. This information is provided by the usual international washing symbols : High temperature wash Coloured wash Synthetics Delicate fabrics Wool Sort the wash according to type, degree of soiling and temperature. Woollen items with only the Wool symbol are not suitable for machine washing. To wash woollen items, the additional note “does not mat” or “machine washable” is necessary.
New, dark coloured items often have an excess of dye. During the wash, this can be transferred to lighter coloured fabrics. It is better to wash such items separately the first time. Treat stains as soon as possible, while they are still fresh, with water, soap or appropriate pre-wash treatment (stain spray, pre-wash paste etc) Pre-wash treatment Empty Pockets In particular, remove metallic objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.) Button pillow slips. Close zip fasteners, hooks and eyelets.
Notice for Test Institutes : For tests similar to IEC 456 (new) with standard load A the maximum load is 4,05 kg. Whenever possible, wash with a full load as this ensures maximum efficiency. Do not overfill. This has a negative result on the washing results. With synthetics articles particularly prone to creasing, you should reduce the load. Opening the washing machine To open the drum, press the button on the drum lid, press the drum lid down and open slowly.
Detergent You may use all modern detergents suited to domestic washing machines. The use of the detergent depends on the type of wash and the degree of soiling. Choice of detergent Soiling is differentiated according to : Dirt, e.g. dust, soot, sweat, grease etc. Bleachable stains, e.g. red wine, fruit, vegetables etc. Protein stains, e.g. blood, milk etc.
The quantity of detergent used depends on the size of the wash, the hardness of the water and the degree of soiling. Follow the instructions on the detergent packet. Your local water supply company can supply information concerning the hardness of the water.
Your ÖKO-LAVAMAT is equipped with a particularly efficient water softener, through two-stage addition of water softener and detergent. For washes without a prewash cycle, this allows the separate addition of softener and detergent. This enables a saving in detergent and noticeable improvement in discharge water quality. Water Softening The two-stage addition ensures that first the water softener is added.
3 2 1 Adding Detergent There are three compartments in the detergent and additive dispenser. Compartment 1 = softener for programmes without pre-wash; washing powder and powder softener for programmes with pre-wash or soak. Compartment 2 = washing powder for the main wash ; for programmes with pre-wash, also the softener.
Fill the additive compartment only up to the “MAXI” level, otherwise the additive will spill over prematurely and without any effect into the machine. When using thick softener concentrate and starch, it is recommended to top up the compartment to the “MAXI” level with water. If you wish to use starch in powder form, dissolve it according to the maker’s recommendations and pour the solution into the compartment. Choose the “fabric softener” programme.
Choosing the wash programme The wash programme is chosen with the programme selector, the temperature adjustment knob and the buttons. For normally soiled articles, choose a programme without pre-wash. For dirty articles choose a programme with pre-wash or use the “intensive” button (refer to the button description). For protein based stains (blood, cocoa), we recommend a programme with pre-wash. For heavily stained articles (fruit, vegetables, tea) press the INTENSIVE button.
During the programme, the dial of the programme selector rotates in steps and indicates which part of the programme is running. The programme indicator By combining main and additional programmes with the buttons, a programme for all needs can be obtained.
SOAKING For wool and wash and wear programmes, the “SOAKING” button enables a soaking of the wash at 40° or a lower temperature (set using the temperature selector). The soaking programme ends with a rinse hold. To continue the programme, press the soaking button again. After a spin cycle, washing begins automatically. This feature provides a quick wash cycle for lightly soiled articles. SHORT PROGRAMME You may reduce spin dry speed with this button.
End of programme At the end of the programme, the machine can be opened. Buttons which may have been set should be released by pushing again. Press out the ON/OFF button. The washing machine is switched off. Remove the washing. Check that the drum is completely empty, as otherwise articles could be damaged in the next wash cycle (e.g. shrinking) or could colour other articles. Extra rinse Your ÖKO-LAVAMAT is set for an extremely economical use of water. However, you can add an additional rinse cycle.

Maintenance and care Clean the dispenser compartment from time to time to remove remaining detergent. Dispenser compartment The wash drum is made of rust free stainless steel. Rusty objects not removed from the wash can cause rust spots to appear on the drum. These spots can be removed using stainless steel cleaner. The customer service has suitable products available. Wash drum When correct quantities of detergent are used, descaling of the machine is hardly necessary.
Cleaning the fluff filter Regular cleaning of the fluff filter is important If you wash articles containing a lot of fluff, clean the filter after every wash. Place the water discharge hose in a flat container placed on the ground, to completely empty the machine. - Open the trap door on the front side of the machine by pressing on the left side.
