Do you have a question about the AEG FFB83700PM and is the answer not in the manual?
This document describes the FFB83700PM dishwasher, an AEG appliance designed for household use. It provides comprehensive information on its functions, usage, and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
The FFB83700PM dishwasher is equipped with a water softener system that removes minerals from the water supply, which can negatively impact washing results and the appliance itself. The water softener level can be adjusted based on the local water hardness, ensuring good washing results. The appliance also features a rinse aid dispenser, which automatically releases rinse aid during the hot rinse phase to improve drying results and prevent streaks and stains. Users can activate or deactivate the rinse aid empty notification and adjust the rinse aid dosage.
A key feature of this dishwasher is the AirDry function, which enhances drying performance while reducing energy consumption. During the drying phase, the appliance door automatically opens and remains ajar. This function is automatically activated with most programs, but it can be deactivated if desired, especially if children have access to the appliance, as the open door could pose a danger.
The dishwasher offers a variety of programs tailored to different soil levels and load types. These include:
Several options can be activated to customize wash cycles:
The appliance also includes an internal lamp that illuminates when the door is open and turns off when closed.
To operate the dishwasher, users first open the water tap and activate the appliance using the on/off button. The appliance defaults to program selection mode, indicated by the ECO program light and display of program duration. If necessary, the water softener and rinse aid dispensers should be filled, guided by the salt and rinse aid indicators.
Loading the baskets correctly is crucial for optimal results. Larger food residues should be removed, and dishes should not be pre-rinsed by hand. Items should be arranged to ensure they do not touch or cover each other, allowing water to reach all surfaces. Hollow items should be placed with openings facing downwards, and light items in the upper basket. Cutlery and small items go in the cutlery drawer. Before starting, users must ensure spray arms can move freely.
Detergent, either powder or tablets, is added to the designated compartment. If a prewash phase is included in the program, a small amount of detergent can be placed on the inner part of the appliance door.
Programs are selected by repeatedly pressing the "Program" button until the desired program indicator is on. Applicable options can then be set. The program starts by pressing "Start," and the display shows the running phase indicator and the decreasing program duration. A delay start function allows users to set a desired delay time from 1 to 24 hours.
Opening the door during a program pauses the appliance, but it resumes from the point of interruption once the door is closed. However, opening the door for more than 30 seconds during the drying phase (unless AirDry is active) will end the program. The Auto Off function automatically deactivates the appliance after 5 minutes of inactivity or program completion to save energy.
Regular maintenance is essential for the FFB83700PM dishwasher. Before any maintenance, the appliance must be deactivated, and the mains plug disconnected from the socket.
The filter system, consisting of three parts (flat filter, main filter, and microfilter), needs regular cleaning. Users should turn the main filter counterclockwise to remove it, then remove the microfilter from the main filter, and finally remove the flat filter. All filters should be washed under running water, ensuring no food residues remain in the sump area. Reassembly is done in reverse order, ensuring the flat filter is correctly positioned under its guides and the main filter is turned clockwise until it locks.
The upper spray arm also requires regular cleaning to prevent clogging of its holes, which can lead to unsatisfactory washing results. To clean, the upper basket is pulled out, and the spray arm is detached by pressing it upwards and turning it clockwise. It should be washed under running water, and a thin pointed tool can be used to clear any clogged holes. Reinstallation involves pressing it upwards and turning it counterclockwise until it locks.
External cleaning of the appliance should be done with a moist soft cloth and neutral detergents, avoiding abrasive products or solvents. For internal cleaning, the appliance, including the rubber gasket of the door, should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. To maintain performance, a dishwasher-specific cleaning product should be used at least once a month, following the product's instructions. Abrasive products, sharp tools, strong chemicals, or scourers should not be used for internal cleaning. Running long-duration programs at least twice a month is recommended to prevent grease and limescale buildup.
