This document provides a comprehensive user manual for the AEG FEE84706PM Dishwasher, offering detailed instructions on its operation, maintenance, and safety. The appliance is designed for household use and similar applications, such as staff kitchen areas, farm houses, hotels, motels, and bed & breakfast environments. It is not intended for commercial use or for purposes other than dishwashing.
Function Description:
The AEG FEE84706PM is a semi-integrated dishwasher designed to efficiently clean and dry various types of crockery, cutlery, pots, and pans. It features multiple wash programs tailored to different levels of soil and load sizes, including ECO, 160min, 90min, 60min, 30min, AUTO, and a Silent program for reduced noise. A dedicated cleaning program is also available for internal appliance maintenance.
The dishwasher incorporates several advanced features to optimize performance and user convenience:
- Water Softener: This system removes minerals from the water supply, preventing limescale buildup and ensuring optimal washing results, especially in areas with hard water. The water softener level can be adjusted according to local water hardness.
- Rinse Aid Dispenser: Automatically releases rinse aid during the hot rinse phase to prevent streaks and stains, improving drying results. The rinse aid dosage can be adjusted from level 1 (minimum) to level 6 (maximum), or deactivated if using multi-tablets.
- AirDry Technology: Enhances drying results with reduced energy consumption by automatically opening the appliance door during the drying phase, allowing natural air circulation. This feature is active for most programs, except for specific cleaning cycles.
- ExtraPower Option: Boosts dishwashing results by increasing the wash temperature and duration for selected programs, ideal for heavily soiled items.
- SprayZone Option: Concentrates increased water pressure and temperature in a designated area of the lower basket, specifically designed for stubborn soil on items like pots, pans, and casserole dishes.
- GlassCare Option: Protects delicate items, particularly glassware, by preventing rapid changes in dishwashing temperature and reducing it to 45 °C.
- Delay Start Function: Allows users to postpone the start of a program for 1 to 24 hours, offering flexibility in operation.
- Auto Off Function: Automatically switches off the appliance after a program is complete or after 5 minutes of inactivity if a program was not started, contributing to energy savings.
The appliance's control panel includes an on/off button, program button, delay button, option button, and a start button, along with a display and various indicators for salt, rinse aid, washing phase, rinsing phase, drying phase, delay, GlassCare, ExtraPower, and SprayZone. These indicators provide clear feedback on the appliance's status and selected settings.
Usage Features:
Operating the AEG FEE84706PM involves a straightforward process:
- Activation: Turn on the appliance using the on/off button.
- Loading: Load dishes into the upper and lower baskets, and cutlery into the cutlery drawer. Ensure items do not touch or block spray arms. Hollow items should be placed with openings facing downwards.
- Detergent Addition: Add the appropriate amount of dishwasher detergent (gel, powder, or tablets) to the dispenser. For programs with a prewash phase, a small quantity of detergent can be placed on the inner part of the appliance door.
- Salt and Rinse Aid: Ensure the salt container is filled with dishwasher salt and the rinse aid dispenser is filled with rinse aid, especially in hard water areas, to maintain optimal performance and prevent limescale. The salt and rinse aid indicators will alert when refilling is needed.
- Program Selection: Select a suitable program based on the type of load and degree of soil using the program button. The display will show the program duration.
- Option Selection: Activate desired options such as ExtraPower, GlassCare, or SprayZone using the option button.
- Start: Press the start button to begin the program. A delay start can also be set.
- Unloading: After the program completes and the AirDry function has opened the door, allow tableware to cool before unloading, starting with the lower basket.
The manual emphasizes the importance of proper loading to ensure water reaches all dishes and to prevent damage. It also advises against pre-rinsing dishes by hand to save water and energy. For multi-tablets, it recommends using them with longer programs for full dissolution and provides guidance on transitioning from multi-tablets to separate detergent, salt, and rinse aid.
Maintenance Features:
Regular care and cleaning are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the AEG FEE84706PM dishwasher:
- Internal Cleaning: The appliance interior should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Abrasive products, sharp tools, strong chemicals, or scourers should not be used. The door and rubber gasket should be wiped clean weekly. For deep cleaning, a dishwasher cleaning product should be used every two months, preferably with the automatic cleaning program. Running long-duration programs at least twice a month helps prevent grease and limescale buildup.
- Filter System Cleaning: The filter system, consisting of three parts, needs regular cleaning. Users should turn the filter counterclockwise to remove it, separate the components, wash them under running water, and remove any food residues. After cleaning, the filters must be reassembled and locked into position. Incorrect filter positioning can lead to poor washing results and appliance damage.
- Spray Arm Cleaning: The lower, upper, and ceiling spray arms should be cleaned regularly to prevent soil from clogging the holes, which can cause unsatisfactory washing results. To clean, remove the spray arms (by pulling upwards for the lower arm, or by pressing upwards and turning clockwise for the upper arm, and by turning counterclockwise and pulling downwards for the ceiling arm), wash them under running water, and use a thin pointed tool (e.g., a toothpick) to clear any clogged holes. Reinstall them securely.
- Foreign Object Removal: After each use, check the filters and sump for foreign objects (e.g., glass pieces, plastic, bones, toothpicks) that could decrease cleaning performance or damage the drain pump. If unable to remove, contact an Authorized Service Centre.
- External Cleaning: The exterior of the appliance should be cleaned with a moist soft cloth and neutral detergents. Abrasive products, cleaning pads, or solvents should be avoided.
The manual also provides troubleshooting guidance for common issues, including problems with activation, program start, water filling/draining, anti-flood device, water level sensor, pump malfunctions, temperature issues, and general technical malfunctions, often accompanied by alarm codes displayed on the control panel. It advises users to consult the manual's "Before first use," "Daily use," or "Hints and tips" sections for possible causes and solutions before contacting an Authorized Service Centre.
