Overview

This document is a user manual for an AEG dishwasher, model FFB53937ZW, providing comprehensive instructions for its installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Function Description

The AEG FFB53937ZW is a household dishwasher designed for cleaning dishes and tableware. It operates by spraying water and detergent onto items, followed by rinsing and drying phases. The appliance features a water softener system to remove minerals from the water supply, which helps prevent limescale buildup and ensures optimal washing results. It also includes a rinse aid dispenser to aid in drying and prevent streaks. The dishwasher offers various programmes tailored to different loads and soil levels, including an ECO programme for efficient water and energy consumption, and specialized programmes for heavily soiled items or quick rinses. An internal cleaning programme is also available to maintain the appliance's hygiene and performance.

Usage Features

The dishwasher is activated via an on/off button and controlled through a control panel with programme indicators, a display, and buttons for programme selection, delay start, and options. Users can select from a range of programmes such as ECO, 160min, 90min, 60min, 30min, and AUTO, each designed for specific types of loads and soil levels. The AUTO programme intelligently senses the degree of soil and quantity of items to adjust temperature, water, energy consumption, and duration automatically.

Several options enhance the washing experience:

  • GlassCare: Protects delicate items, particularly glassware, by preventing rapid changes in dishwashing temperature and reducing it to 45 °C.
  • ExtraPower: Improves dishwashing results by increasing wash temperature and duration.
  • ExtraHygiene: Provides better cleaning by maintaining a temperature between 65 and 70 °C for at least 10 minutes during the final rinsing phase.

The appliance supports a delay start function, allowing users to postpone the programme start for 1 to 24 hours. The display shows the remaining time of the countdown.

Loading the dishwasher involves arranging items in the lower basket, upper basket, and cutlery drawer. Hollow items should be placed with openings facing downwards, and care should be taken to ensure glass items do not touch each other. Light items should be placed in the upper basket and secured to prevent movement.

For optimal results, users are advised to add detergent, salt, and rinse aid. The salt container should be filled with dishwasher salt, especially in areas with hard water, to regenerate the water softener resin. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled with rinse aid to ensure streak-free drying. The appliance provides indicators to notify users when salt or rinse aid needs refilling.

The AirDry function is a key drying feature, where the appliance door automatically opens during the drying phase and remains ajar to improve drying results and reduce energy consumption. This function is automatically activated for most programmes, but can be deactivated if desired, for example, if children have access to the appliance.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the dishwasher's performance and longevity. Key maintenance tasks include:

  • Filter Cleaning: The filter system, consisting of three parts (flat filter, main filter, and microfilter), should be checked and cleaned regularly, ideally after each use, to remove food residues and foreign objects. This involves turning the main filter counterclockwise, removing all filter components, washing them under running water, and then reassembling them correctly.
  • Spray Arm Cleaning: The lower, upper, and ceiling spray arms should be cleaned regularly to prevent clogging of the holes, which can lead to unsatisfactory washing results. This involves removing the lower spray arm by pulling it upwards, and for the ceiling spray arm, releasing stoppers on the cutlery drawer rails, pulling out the drawer, moving the upper basket to the lowest level, and then detaching the spray arm by turning its mounting element counterclockwise. Clogged holes can be cleared using a thin pointed tool like a toothpick.
  • Internal Cleaning: The appliance interior should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Abrasive products, strong chemicals, or sharp tools should not be used. The door, including the rubber gasket, should be wiped clean weekly. To prevent limescale and grease buildup, a cleaning product designed for dishwashers should be used at least once every two months, ideally with the automatic cleaning programme. Running long-duration programmes regularly also helps prevent buildup.
  • External Cleaning: The exterior of the appliance should be cleaned with a moist soft cloth and neutral detergents. Abrasive products or solvents should be avoided.

The manual also provides troubleshooting guidance for common issues, such as the appliance not filling with water, not draining, or displaying alarm codes. It advises users to check basic conditions like water tap status, filter cleanliness, and hose integrity before contacting an authorised service centre. For issues related to washing and drying results, it suggests adjusting detergent and rinse aid dosages, using appropriate programmes and options, and ensuring proper loading.
