Need help?Do you have a question about the AEG FFB73517ZM and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is a user manual for the AEG FFB73517ZM dishwasher, providing comprehensive instructions for its safe installation, operation, and maintenance.
The AEG FFB73517ZM is a dishwasher designed for household use, intended to efficiently clean crockery, cutlery, and pots. It features a water softener system to remove minerals from the water supply, which helps prevent limescale buildup and improves washing results. The appliance also includes a rinse aid dispenser to ensure streak-free drying. Various programs are available to cater to different levels of soil and load types, including an ECO program for efficient water and energy consumption, and an AUTO program that senses soil level and load quantity to adjust settings automatically. A Silent program is also available for reduced noise operation. The dishwasher incorporates an AirDry function, which automatically opens the door during the drying phase to enhance drying results and reduce energy consumption.
The dishwasher offers a user-friendly control panel with an on/off button, program selection, delay start, and option buttons. Indicators provide visual feedback on the appliance's status, such as salt and rinse aid refill needs, and active washing, rinsing, and drying phases. Users can customize settings like the water softener level and rinse aid dosage to optimize performance based on local water hardness and desired drying results. The water softener level should be adjusted according to the water hardness in your area, and the rinse aid level can be set between 1 (minimum) and 8 (maximum), or deactivated if using multi-tablets.
To start a program, the user first activates the appliance, ensures it is in program selection mode, loads the baskets, adds detergent, and then selects the desired program and any applicable options before pressing the start button. A delay start function allows users to postpone the program start for up to 24 hours. The AirDry function is automatically activated for most programs, enhancing drying by opening the door. However, it can be deactivated if desired, particularly if children have access to the appliance.
The manual emphasizes proper loading of baskets, advising against overloading and ensuring items do not touch or obstruct spray arms. Hollow items should be placed face downwards, and light items secured in the upper basket. For optimal cleaning, larger food residues should be removed from dishes before loading, and heavily soiled cookware may benefit from soaking.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the dishwasher's performance and longevity. The manual provides detailed instructions for cleaning the internal components, including the filters and spray arms. The filter system, composed of three parts, should be disassembled, cleaned under running water, and reassembled correctly to prevent poor washing results and damage to the drain pump. The lower and upper spray arms should also be cleaned regularly to prevent clogging of their holes, which can impair washing effectiveness. A thin pointed tool, such as a toothpick, is recommended for clearing any blockages in the spray arm holes.
External cleaning involves wiping the appliance with a moist soft cloth and neutral detergents, avoiding abrasive products. The door, including the rubber gasket, should be cleaned weekly. To prevent grease and limescale buildup, it is recommended to use a dishwasher cleaning product at least once every two months, ideally with the automatic cleaning program. For users switching from multi-tablets to separate detergents, salt, and rinse aid, specific steps are outlined to prepare the appliance, including setting the water softener to its highest level, filling the salt and rinse aid containers, and running a short program without detergent or dishes. The manual also includes a troubleshooting section to help users identify and resolve common issues, such as problems with activation, program start, water filling or draining, and unsatisfactory washing or drying results. Alarm codes displayed on the appliance are explained, with corresponding solutions provided.
