This document is a user manual for an AEG dishwasher, model FEE83700PM, providing comprehensive instructions for its installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The manual emphasizes safety information, proper usage for optimal results, and environmental considerations.
Function Description
The AEG FEE83700PM dishwasher is designed for household use, offering various programs and settings to efficiently clean crockery, cutlery, and glassware. It features multiple spray arms (top, upper, and lower) to ensure thorough washing, a detergent dispenser, and a rinse aid dispenser to enhance cleaning and drying performance. The appliance includes a filter system to capture food residues and an air vent.
The dishwasher operates with a control panel that includes an on/off button, program selection, a display, and options for customizing wash cycles. It provides indicators for different phases of the wash cycle (washing, rinsing, drying), as well as specific features like TimeSaver, XtraDry, Rinse Aid, Delay, and ExtraHygiene. The appliance is equipped with an "Auto Off" function to reduce energy consumption by automatically deactivating when not in use.
Usage Features
The dishwasher offers a range of programs tailored to different soil levels and load types:
- ECO: The standard program for normally soiled crockery and cutlery, optimized for efficient water and energy consumption.
- AUTO: Automatically adjusts temperature, water quantity, energy consumption, and program duration based on the degree of soil and load size. It handles all types of crockery, cutlery, pots, and pans.
- Mixed Soil Program: Designed for loads with mixed soil levels, providing higher pressure and temperature in the lower basket for very heavy soil.
- Heavy Soil Program: For heavily soiled crockery, cutlery, pots, and pans, featuring a high-temperature rinsing phase for enhanced hygiene.
- Delicate Program: For normal or light soil on delicate crockery and glassware.
- 30MIN: A short program for fresh soil, offering good washing results quickly.
- Prewash: A quick rinse program to prevent food remains from bonding and odors from forming, without the need for detergent.
- SILENT: The quietest program, operating at a very low pump speed, resulting in a longer duration.
Users can customize their wash cycles with several options:
- TimeSaver: Reduces program duration by approximately 50% while maintaining washing results, though drying results may decrease.
- XtraDry: Boosts drying performance by increasing water pressure and temperature, shortening washing and drying phases. This is a permanent option for most programs, but needs to be manually selected for ECO.
- ExtraHygiene: Provides superior hygiene by maintaining a temperature of 70°C for at least 10 minutes during the final rinsing phase.
- Delay Start: Allows users to postpone the start of a program from 1 to 24 hours.
The appliance features an internal lamp that illuminates when the door is opened. During the drying phase, the AirDry function automatically opens the door to improve drying results and reduce energy consumption.
Maintenance Features
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of the dishwasher. The manual outlines several key maintenance tasks:
- Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser: The rinse aid indicator signals when refilling is needed. Users can adjust the rinse aid level from 1 (minimum) to 6 (maximum) or deactivate the notification if using multi-tablets with satisfactory drying results.
- Cleaning the Filters: The filter system, composed of three parts (flat filter, main filter, and microfilter), should be checked and cleaned regularly to prevent decreased washing results. Instructions are provided for disassembling, washing, and reassembling the filters.
- Cleaning the Upper Spray Arm: The upper spray arm should be cleaned regularly to prevent holes from clogging, which can lead to unsatisfactory washing results. The manual details how to disengage, wash, and re-engage the spray arm.
- External Cleaning: The appliance exterior should be cleaned with a moist, soft cloth and neutral detergents. Abrasive products, pads, or solvents should be avoided.
- Internal Cleaning: The interior, including the rubber gasket of the door, should be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. To maintain performance and prevent grease and limescale buildup, a dishwasher-specific cleaning product should be used at least once a month, and long-duration programs should be run regularly.
The manual also provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues, including problems with water filling or draining, program start, duration, and unsatisfactory washing or drying results. It advises users to check basic conditions before contacting an Authorized Service Centre.
