The OKO System
Your new OKO-LAVAMAT meets all laundry care requirements and
allows individual and versatile programme selection.
It is highly economical in water, energy and detergent consumption,
which not only contributes to protection of our environment, but also
saves you money.
The electronically controlled spin with intermediate spins after the
main wash and the 3 rinse sequences on the cotton and linen pro-
grammes guarantees very low water consumption.
The OKO lock ensures 100% effective detergent utilisation. The OKO
valve closes off the wash tub from the drainage system during all
wash programmes. This not only reinforces the cleaning effect but
also saves detergent — a saving of 20% in comparison with
machines without such a device.
The special AEG wash paddles carefully scoop up the wash solu-
tion, and on reaching the top of the drum, gently spray streams of
water through your wash load. This system ensures that your
laundry is at all times soaked in the wash solution.
The automatic flowrate feature automatically adjusts the water con-
sumption to the wash load and fabric type concerned. By addition-
ally pressing the 1/2 load button for small wash loads, you can save
even more water.
For lightly soiled and small wash loads, eg in the case of sports and
leisure clothing, use the short programmes.
The wool cradle takes special care of your woollens: with a very
gentle washing action, these especially sensitive garments : are
gently “rocked” to and fro in the drum.

OKO Tips for
Economical
Washing
Economy
Programmes
Out of concern for the environment...
These hints are intended to help you act in an environmentally con-
scious manner,
For normally soiled laundry, the programmes are intended for
use without prewash. Compared to a programme with prewash,
you save detergent and water.
ltis more economical to wash full loads. If you find it necessary to
wash small loads, you should use the de button. Add oniy %to 1%
of the amount of detergent for a full load. This will result in con-
sumption of less water, energy and detergent.
E Forlightto normally soiled laundry, it is often sufficient to use the
economy programme, le ata lower temperature fora longertime.
E With suitable pretreatment, stains and limited soiling can be
removed. This saves a programme being used for heavily soiled
laundry.
Dose your detergent exacily as instructed by the detergent
manufacturer, bearing in mind that because of the ÓKO lock you
can use 20% less. Overdosage wastes money and burdens the
environment. You should also note the instructions for lightly
soiled laundry.
Detergent savings and care for the environment can also be
achieved by dosing the detergent as for soft water although you
have medium to high water hardnesses, and additionally adding
a water softener. This reduces the amount of “chemicals” enter-
ing our water ways.
Use fabric softeners only where necessary, eg for synthetic or
mixed fabrics, to avoid static. If you use a tumble dryer, your
laundry will be soft and fluffy without a fabric softener.
Here are the economy programmes:
— Programmes for half and small wash loads
e — Programmes for fabrics where soiling does not require the full
programme at a high temperature

Before starting to wash
Bn Check that the fabrics are machine-washable. The international
care labels will give you guidance.
E Woollens labelled only with the woolmark §
(9) are not suitable for
machine-washing. Also garments marked with the following
symbols:
Hand wash #7
Do not wash =I
Sort your laundry into laundry types as follows, separating
coloureds from whites.:
Cotton/linen - Whites
Cotton/linen - Coloureds
Easy-care fabrics
Delicates
Woollens
E Woollens must be labelled with the woolmark and additionally
marked “will not felt”, “non-felting”, or “machine-washable”.
B Coloureds and whites should never be washed together, whites
will turn grey.
New dark coloured laundry will often state “wash separately”.
This type of garment will often have surplus colour which may be
transferred to lighter fabrics during washing. Always wash such
items on their own for the first few washes.
Ш You may also see the following labels. They are not common in
the UK, but are widely used in garments manufactured in the rest
of Europe.
White cotton articles with special finishes
White nylon and white polyester cotton
ина
This label may be found in a variety of
garments - the articles should be laundered
on the wool programme. —

Before starting to wash
M Wherever possible remove stains immediately, before they have
set, with water and soap or with a special pretreatment agent
(spray, liquid detergent).
Hl Empty pockets
Please make sure that no metal objects (eg paper clips, staples,
coins, safety pins, or the like) remain in the laundry.
Button up pillow cases, close zip-fasteners, hooks and eyes. Tie
together loose belts and long apron strings.
Turn coloured knitted garments inside out.
HE Particularly small or sensitive garments (eg baby socks, ladies
tights, etc) should be washed in a launder net bag or pillowcase.
H Handle curtains especially carefully
Remove rings and hooks from your curtains, to avoid damage or
tearing. Synthetic curtains should be handled carefully as they
snag easily. Place net curtains in a pillowcase or wash bag.
Under no circumstances can we accept liability for damage to
curtains through incorrect handling.
Spin curtains only when permitted by the manufacturer.

water level in the drum. |
Loosely load your unfolded laundry in to the machine drum, mixing
small and large items as much as possible. This reinforces the
washing action and promotes even distribution of the laundry
during spinning.
Press the door closed so that the catch clicks into position.
For your safety, the loading door is locked throughout the pro-
gramme cycle. So long as the pilot lamp is on when machine is con-
nected, the loading door cannot be opened.

1/WM1 3/80 GB/UK - 1/WM3 3/90 GB/UK
Detergents
Use only detergents that are suitable for automatic washing
machines.
You will achieve the best cleaning results with minimum harm to the
environment by also considering the type of laundry soiling when
selecting a suitable detergent.
Machine-washable soiling is basically classified as:
H Dirt, e.g. dust, soot, sweat, grease, etc.
HE Stains, e.g. tea, red wine, fruit, blood
You will find BIO and NONBIOLOGICAL detergents in powder or
liguid forms. Check with the detergent manufacturers information as
to which detergent suits your purposes best bearing in mind that the
detergent must be a low lather one suitable for automatic washing
machines! We recommend ARIEL (in the various different
forms) and Dreft automatic for woollens.
M Water softeners allow the use of smaller amounts of detergents
in households having medium-hard to very hard tap water.
B Fabric softeners prevent the static charging of synthetic fabrics
and make your laundry soft to the touch. lf you use atumble dryer,
your laundry will be soft and fluffy without a fabric conditioner. We
recommend LENOR fabric conditioner.
Ш Starches, conditioning rinses, ensure that your laundry keeps
its shape.
The amount of detergent used depends on the hardness range of
your tap water. With an increasing water hardness, more detergent
must be dosed to bind the lime contained in the water. You will find
dosage indications for soft or hard water on the detergent pack.
For lightly soiled laundry, use less detergent. Follow the detergent
manufacturers instructions. If the latter gives no dosage indications
for small loads, you should reduce by 14 for half wash loads and for
even smaller loads use 1/2 the amount recommended for a full ioad.
You can save detergent and prevent unnecessary amounts of deter-
gent from entering our waterways by using a special water softener
in areas with hard water.
You should dose the special softener depending on the water hard-
ness as instructed on the softener package. In this case, you should
always dose the detergent for “soft” water as instructed on the
detergent packages.
In this case, add the detergent and softener together in the main
wash compartment. When using programmes with prewash, add it
to the respective compartments for prewash and main wash.

The detergent dispenser has three compartments:
Compartment = washing powder for programmes with
(right) prewash
Compartment UN washing powder for main wash
(centre)
Compartment \®/- liquid conditioner (conditioning rinse,
(left) starch)
Please also note the following:
When adding detergent and water softener, fill first detergent
and then softener in the same compartments.
Stain salts/bleaching agents are always filled on the detergent.
If you prefer liquid detergents, dose these agents as instructed
by the detergent manufacturer, using the “balls” supplied or
offered by the detergent manufacturer.
When using liquid, follow the manufacturers's instructions.
Do not fill above “MAX” indicator level as otherwise the liquid
may drain immediately.
When using thick concentrated fabric conditioner and
starches, you are recommended to mix the concentrate with
water to ensure troublefree dispensing.
If you want to use starch powder, dissolve according to the
manufacturers's instructions and place in compertment WJ
selecting the “Fabric conditioning — Starching” programme.
Practical Hint
Modern detergents work very well at lower temperatures, helping
with the fabric care and also reducing your electricity bilis.
To maintain your washing machine in the best working order and
minimise any chance of mould forming on the appliance interior, we
recommend that you wash at least one cotton load at 60 °C perweek
using a full strength detergent such as Ariel Ultra. In this way, the
hotter wash temperature will help clean and maintain the machine.
1/WM5-3 3/94 GB/UK
1/WPW29 3/93 GB/UK
Selecting the wash programme
Select my wash programmes with the programme selector
(fig. 1/155 B), temperature selector (fig. 1/155C), and buttons
(fig. 1/155 D to |).
For normally soiled laundry, select a programme without prewash.
For heavier soiling, select programme U J with prewash or for deli-
cates, programme 6.
For fabrics where soiling is of a protein nature (e.g. blood, milk),
select a programme with prewash to prevent these stains from set-
ting.
The programme selector has 11 settings for the main and additional
programmes. The programme with prewash is marked by the sym-
bol \ 1 J for cotton/linens and easy-care laundry, the other pro-
grammes by the numbers 1-10. (See programme table.)
In position “1”, the length of time taken for the main wash 1s pro-
longed.
Ш When washing light to normally soiled laundry, you can save
up to 40% energy by using a lower temperature (using button
a and \%3/), the machine automatically adjusts to wash at the
lower temperature of approximately 60°.
Ш When washing heavily soiled laundry (without button BH). you
achieve a more intensive washing effect.
The programme selector must only be turned clockwise and only
when the machine is switched off.
The programme selector is also used to switch your machine on and
off.

Maintenance and care
From time to time, you should clean the detergent dispenser
thoroughly.
— To do this, slightly lift the dispenser and withdraw with a short
sharp pull. Detach the syphon in the special conditioner com-
partment,
— Clean the dispenser compartments with warm water and a bottle
brush.
— Clean the syphon under running water. Re-insert the latter fully
and check for proper fitting!
— Alsoclean the roof of the detergent compartments with a brush.
— Re-insert the dispenser in the guides and push it in.
- Atthe end ofthe programme, pull the washing powder compart-
ment out a little way so that it dries.
The laundry drum is made of stainless steel. Any objects left in the
laundry and likely to rust (see the section on “Preparing the laundry”)
may leave rust stains on the drum. These stains can be removed
with a stainless steel cleaner.
1/WP3 3/93 GB/UK
1/WP3 3/93 GB/UK
Remove any deposits or foreign bodies from the rubber sleeve
behind the loading door.
The loading door should not be closed after washing, so that the
drum can dry out and the machine is thoroughly ventilated.
If you have ensured correct detergent dosage, your machine will
scarcely ever need to be descaled. If descaling should be neces-
sary, use only branded descaling agents with corrosion protection
for washing machines. Your service centre stocks suitable agents.
The control panel and controls should be cleaned with luke-warm
water only. Do not use furniture polish or abrasive cleaning agents.
Frost damage does not come under your guarantee!
If your OKO-LAVAMAT is installed in room susceptible to frost, your
machine must be subjected to emergency emptying as described
in the section on “If you think your washing machine is not working
properly...” if there is any imminent risk of frost.
Also unscrew the supply hose from the watertap and allow the water
to run out. Place a cloth underneath!

If you think your washing machine is not
working properly...
.. the laundry loading door will not open immediately when the
programme is interrupted?
The door will open after 1-2 minutes (safety lock).
A programme with rinse-hold has been selected.
. the washing machine is not working at all?
Your machine may not be plugged in (the power plug may not be
in the plug socket).
The programme selector switch has not been pulled out.
The loading door is not properly closed.
Have you checked the fuses?
. no water enters?
The water taps may not have been turned on.
One of the filters in the water supply hoses is blocked.
One filter is located in the end of the hose connected to the water
tap: unscrew the infill hose(s) and clean the filter under running
water.
A second filter is located in the connection between hose and
machine. Unscrew the infill hose(s) onthe machine and cleanthe
filter.
.there is a delay before the spin sequence starts?
The electronic out of balance monitoring system ofyour machine
has responded owing to poor laundry distribution.
Your laundry is loosened and distributed by the tumbling action
of the drum and the spin sequence restarted. This may happen
several times until the imbalance is corrected and the spin
sequence can finally start.
‚the washing machine vibrates?
Very small wash loads (e.g. only one bathrobe) may cause your
machine to vibrate. This does not affect operation of your
machine in any way.
The appliance feet are not properly adjusted. See Instructions for
Installation.
. the washing machine makes unusual noises?
This washing machine possesses a modern drive system, which
in comparison with earlier drives produces a different kind of
noise, rather like a whistle.
The new drive allows the washing machine to build up speed
gently when spin-drying, and to then keep to the speed-level set.
The washing machine’s stability has thereby been improved and
its water-consumption lowered.
... the machine is oversudsing in the main wash?
You have added too much detergent. Dose the detergent more
accurately!
Have you used a low lather detergent?
1/WTW13-2 3/95 GB/UK
1/WTW13-2 3/95 GB/UK
.. the washing machine is noisy?
The drain hose may be kinked, or
The drain pump is blocked. In both cases, the water has not been
pumped away efficiently or not at all.
See also “Cleaning the drain pump”.
There may still be transport packing in your washing machine, or
your machine has not been properly installed and rocks from
side to side.
See the installation instructions!
. water runs out from under the machine?
The screw coupling on the supply hose or the hose clip on the
drain hose may be loose.
The drain hose is leaking.
The cover of the drain pump in the plinth (fig. 1/36 E) is not prop-
erly secured after cleaning or emergency emptying. See “Clean-
ing the drain pump”, in this section.
. the laundry has not turned out as well as it usually does?
You have added too little detergent.
Underdosage leads to greying of your laundry and to scaling in
your machine.
Ensure more accurate dosage!
You may not have used the correct detergent.
Special heavy soiling has not been pretreated.
Have you correctly selected the programme and temperature?
.. the conditioning rinse was not dispensed and the condition-
er compartment is filled with water?
The syphon in the compartment is not correctly inserted or is
blocked. See “Maintenance and care”.
B The washing powder compartment has been pulled out when it
should have been dispensing.
.. despite pretreatment, stains are not removed during wash-
ing?
The stains may not be washable. Consult specialist (dry clean-
ers).
..grey spots are found on the finished laundry (so-called
greasy balls)?
Laundry soiled by ointments, fats, oils, or body grease, has been
washed in too little detergent, therefore the amount of detergent
has been insufficient to dissolve the grease. Add more detergent.
Your laundry has been washed at too low a temperature.
... even after the final rinse (rinse-hold), foam is still visible?
Modern detergents cause frothing even in the final rinse water,
however, this is not a negative reflection on the rinsing result.
31
Minor faults
you can rectify
yourself
32
... conditioner flecks remain on the finished laundry?
HE This is in most cases likely to be due to the fact that conditioning
rinse — especially that in concentrated form — has directly affected
your laundry.
Wash outthese flecks as quickly as possible, and take care when
handling these agents!
... white detergent residues remain on the laundry after the pro-
gramme has ended?
Ш These residues are insoluble constituents of modern, phospha-
te-free detergents. They are not due to insufficient rinsing.
Possible remedies: Brush or shake out, or wash laundry turned
inside out. Check detergent selection.
... no water can be seen in the port-hole?
BM Modern washing machines work very economically, with such
small quantities of water that it is sometimes not visible through
the port-hole. Nevertheless, the machine still washes and rinses
perfectly.
.. the laundry is insufficiently spun or water remains in the
drum?
HE Owingtoa kinked hose, the pump is not pumping away sufficient
water from your machine.
H The pump head of max. 1 m is exceeded. For such cases, the
service centre stocks a retrofitting kit with a second pump.
№ The drain pump is blocked.
Proceed as follows when cleaning the drain pump:
~ Unplug your washing machine or take out the fuse.
— Drain the water from the machine as described under
“Emergency emptying in the event of a power failure” in the
next section.
— Unscrew the drain pump cover anticlockwise (see arrow) and
remove together with the insert. Place a cloth underneath as
residual water may still run out.
— Remove foreign bodies from the pump housing. Always also
check by hand that the pump impeller runs freely.
1/WEW13-2 3/95 GB/UK
1/WTW13-2 3/95 GB/UK
— Replace the cover and close by turning clockwise. Make sure
it is closed tightly otherwise water will leak from the pump.
— Close emergency drain hose with plug. Push back into the
machine. Secure the plug by rotating it a quarter turn clock-
wise.
... the washing machine no longer pumps water away and a
high water level can be seen in the window?
EM Proceed as follows:
— Slightly ease out plug A from the plinth and turn clockwise (in
direction of arrow) by a quarter turn until if stops.

— Pull out hose B and remove plug A.
— Allow the residual water to drain into a bowl! (place a cloth
underneath). Depending on the amount of residual water, it
may be necessary, to empty the collecting bowl several times.
Take care when the suds are hot! Where necessary, allow to
cool first!
— Replace plug A into the emergency drain hose B.
— Push in emergency drain hose and secure A.
Please note:
After emergency emptying, your washing machine has been emp-
tied completely.
To ensure the function of my OKO lock, itis necessary to add around
1/2 | water to my detergent dispenser.
If, you decide to call the service centre to help with any of the stated
instructions or on grounds of faulty operation, the service engineer's
visit cannot be made free of charge even during the guarantee
period.
