Need help?Do you have a question about the AEG FFB74917ZM and is the answer not in the manual?
This document is a user manual for an AEG dishwasher, model FFB74917ZM. It provides comprehensive instructions for safe installation, daily operation, and maintenance, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the appliance.
The AEG dishwasher is designed for cleaning household-type dishes and tableware in an indoor environment. It features a water softener system to remove minerals from the water supply, which helps prevent limescale buildup and ensures good washing results. The appliance offers various programmes tailored to different types and degrees of soil, from lightly dried-on crockery to heavily soiled pots and pans. Special programmes include an ECO mode for efficient water and energy consumption, an AUTO programme that senses soil levels and adjusts settings accordingly, and a cleaning programme for internal maintenance.
The dishwasher incorporates several options to enhance cleaning and drying performance. The GlassCare option protects delicate items by reducing the wash temperature. ExtraPower increases wash temperature and duration for improved cleaning. ExtraHygiene provides better cleaning results by maintaining high temperatures during the final rinse. The AirDry function automatically opens the door during the drying phase to improve drying results and reduce energy consumption.
Operating the dishwasher involves a straightforward process. Users first activate the appliance and ensure it is in programme selection mode. Before starting a programme, it's essential to check and refill the salt container and rinse aid dispenser if indicated. The water softener level should be adjusted according to the local water hardness for optimal performance.
Loading the baskets correctly is crucial for effective cleaning. Hollow items like cups and glasses should be placed with their openings facing downwards, and items should not touch each other to allow water to reach all surfaces. Cutlery and small items are placed in the cutlery drawer. Detergent, either powder or tablets, is added to the dispenser, with a small amount reserved for the prewash phase if applicable.
Programmes are selected using the "Program" button, and the display shows the duration. Users can then activate desired options like GlassCare, ExtraPower, or ExtraHygiene. The "Delay" function allows users to set a delayed start for the programme, ranging from 1 to 24 hours. Once the programme starts, the appliance indicates the running phase, and the duration counts down. The "Auto off" function automatically deactivates the appliance upon programme completion or after 5 minutes of inactivity, saving energy. Opening the door during a programme pauses it, and closing it resumes the cycle, though opening it during the drying phase for more than 30 seconds (unless by AirDry) will end the programme.
Regular maintenance is key to the dishwasher's performance. The manual emphasizes cleaning the filters and spray arms to prevent clogging and ensure effective washing. The filter system, composed of three parts, can be easily disassembled, washed under running water, and reassembled. Similarly, the lower and ceiling spray arms can be removed and cleaned to clear any clogged holes. The upper spray arm, while not removable, can have its openings cleared with a pointed tool.
The appliance interior should be cleaned with a moist soft cloth, avoiding abrasive products or strong chemicals. The door, including the rubber gasket, should be wiped clean weekly. To prevent grease and limescale buildup, especially with frequent use of short-duration programmes, it is recommended to run a long-duration programme at least twice a month or use a cleaning product designed for dishwashers. The internal cleaning programme is specifically designed for this purpose.
The salt container and rinse aid dispenser should be refilled when the respective indicators turn on. The water softener level should be periodically checked and adjusted if the water hardness changes. The manual also provides guidance on troubleshooting common issues, such as the appliance not filling with water, not draining, or displaying alarm codes, offering solutions like checking water taps, filters, and hoses, or contacting an authorized service center for more complex problems.
