Safety instructions
Before using
your machine for
the first time
Safety instructions for the user
- Follow the installation and connection instructions
- Do not connect a damaged machine (e.g. damaged
during transport)
- Small quantities of water in the detergent/additive
compartment are due to factory tests
- To remove residue from manufacturing in the wash drum
and dispenser compartment, a wash programme without
clothes should be carried out - e.g. colour wash 60°C with
a 1/2 measuring beaker of detergent.
The safety of AEG electrical appliances is in conformity with
recognized technical standards and current legislation.
Nevertheless, we feel obliged to point out to you and other
possible users the following :
- Ensure before switching on the machine that the nominal
voltage and current type indicated on the manufacturer’s
plate correspond with the voltage and current type where
the machine is to be used. The necessary fuse protection
should also be read off the rating plate.
- If your ÖKO-LAVAMAT is in a room subject to temperatures
below freezing, the water must be removed from the
machine should the danger of freezing be expected.
- Before cleaning, care and maintenance, ensure that the
machine is switched off. You are completely safe if you
remove the plug from the power-point, or, in the case of a
fixed installation, when the circuit breaker is open or the
cartridge-fuse is completely removed (see installation and
connection instructions).
- Never spray the machine with a jet of water.
- Never pull the plug out by pulling on the cord, but rather on
the plug itself.

- Do not switch the machine on if
the electrical cord is damaged, or
if the machine shows signs of damage to the
control panel, the work surface or the base
- Repairs to electrical appliances may only be carried
out by qualified personnel. Incorrect repairs can result
in considerable danger for the user. Please only
contact our factory customer service or a repair
workshop approved by us. Only original AEG spare
parts fulfil all requirements.
- Do not allow children to play with the machine, and
keep domestic animals away from it.
- When disposing of the machine in a proper manner,
destroy the door locks and cut off the power supply
cord.
- If the machine is improperly used or incorrectly operated,
no responsibility can be accepted for possible damage.
- Securely attach the discharge hose to avoid the risk of
scalding and overflow.
- In case of breakdown, close the water tap and
disconnect the machine from the power supply. The
machine is disconnected when the plug is removed or
the circuit-breaker(s) is (are) opened.
- Keep packing parts away from small children. The
plastic sheeting is particularly dangerous.
- If you are washing pre-cleaned garments, flammable
cleaning spirits must be completely evaporated.
- Do not use the machine for dry cleaning.
- If the machine is not connected to the potable water
supply, but to a rainwater or similar supply, please
observe the corresponding instructions.
- This machine complies with EC radio disturbance
requirements 87/308/EC, EN 55014, DIN VDE 0875
part 1 and EN 55 011 - DIN VDE 0875 part 11 as well
as the standard concerning effects on power supplies
EN 60 555 parts 1-3 - DIN VDE 0838 parts 1-3.

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.
Through the uniflow system, the detergent is continuously
circulated. The system enables a 100% use of the detergent
with every programme and all wash temperatures. This
increases the cleaning effect and helps to save detergent,
compared with other machines without such a system.
The ribs in the wash drum continuously carry the water to the
top. This ensures an intense and balanced soaking of the
wash.
The automatic water level control matches water
consumption to the quantity of the wash and type of fabric.
All materials used are biodegradable. They can be
disposed of without danger or burnt in rubbish
incinerators.
Note on the materials : the plastics can be used again and
are marked as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer
covering and the bags on the inside. >PS< for polystyrol
foam, e.g. the padding, totally free from FCKW. The carton
is made from used paper and should be deposited in the
used paper collection.

For the sake of the environment ...
These instructions will help you to act in an environmentally
conscious manner :
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.
For light to normally soiled washes, the saving
programme is often sufficient; it uses lower temperatures
which are maintained for longer periods.
Spots and stains can be removed by appropriate pretreatment. This saves a programme for heavily soiled
clothes.
Use the detergent exactly as advised by the manufacturer. Too much "wates" your money and is bad for
the environment. Follow the instructions for lightly
soiled garments.
Savings on detergent and for the environment may also
be achieved if with medium to hard water you add
sufficient detergent for soft water and then add
separately a softener. This relieves our waters of a
certain amount of chemicals.
Use fabric softener only when necessary, e.g. with
synthetic mixed fabrics, to avoid static charging. If you
use a dryer, your wash will be soft and fluffy even
without fabric softener.
