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. Thesystemenablesa100%useofthedetergent

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.

Theribsinthewashdrumcontinuouslycarrythewatertothe

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.

conscious manner :

For normally soiled washes, programmes without pre-

wash 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

soiledwithspotswhichcanbebleached. Bleachesare

particularly effective at high temperatures.

Consumption of the machine is most favourable when

it is full.

For light to normally soiled washes, the saving

programmeisoftensufficient;ituseslowertemperatures

which are maintained for longer periods.

Spots and stains can be removed by appropriate pre-

treatment. This saves a programme for heavily soiled

clothes.

Use the detergent exactly as advised by the manufac-

turer. Too much "wates" your money and is bad for

the environment. Follow the instructions for lightly

soiled garments.

Savingsondetergentandfortheenvironmentmayalso

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.
