This document is a user manual for an AEG dishwasher, model FSB32610Z, providing comprehensive instructions for its installation, operation, and maintenance.
The AEG FSB32610Z is a household-type dishwasher designed for cleaning dishes and tableware in an indoor environment. It features a water softener system that removes minerals from the water supply to prevent negative effects on washing results and the appliance itself. The water softener level can be adjusted based on local water hardness. The appliance also includes a rinse aid dispenser, which automatically releases rinse aid during the final rinse to help dry dishes without streaks and stains.
The dishwasher offers various programmes tailored to different load types and soil levels, including an ECO programme for efficient water and energy consumption, a 160-minute programme for normal to heavy dried-on soil, a 90-minute programme for normal to lightly dried-on soil, a 30-minute programme for fresh crockery and cutlery, and a prewash programme for quickly rinsing off food remains and preventing odours.
A key feature is the AirDry function, which improves drying results with less energy consumption by automatically opening the door during the drying phase, allowing dishes to air dry. The appliance also has an Auto Off function that automatically deactivates the dishwasher when a programme is complete or after 5 minutes of inactivity, further reducing energy consumption.
The control panel includes an on/off/reset button, programme indicators, and a delay button, allowing users to select programmes, adjust settings, and set a delayed start for convenience. The appliance provides visual indicators for drying phase, salt refill, and rinse aid refill, as well as acoustic signals for malfunctions and programme completion.
To use the dishwasher, users first need to ensure the water softener level is correctly set according to their water hardness, fill the salt container (with 1 litre of water for the first time, then 1 kg of salt), and fill the rinse aid dispenser. Before the first wash, it's recommended to run a programme without detergent or dishes to remove any processing residuals.
Loading the baskets correctly is crucial for optimal cleaning. Larger food residues should be removed from dishes, and hollow items like cups and glasses should be placed face downwards. Items should not touch or cover each other to allow water to reach all surfaces. Light or plastic items should be placed in the upper basket, and cutlery in the cutlery basket. Users should ensure spray arms can rotate freely before starting a programme.
Detergent, in powder or tablet form, should be added to the designated compartment. If a prewash phase is part of the selected programme, a small quantity of detergent can be placed on the inner part of the appliance door. The manual advises using only dishwasher-specific detergent and following manufacturer's dosage instructions. For hard water areas, using basic dishwasher detergent, rinse aid, and salt separately is recommended for best results.
Programmes can be selected by pressing the programme button until the desired programme indicator flashes. A delay start can be set for 3 hours. The appliance starts when the door is closed. Opening the door during operation will pause the programme, and closing it will resume the cycle. However, opening the door for more than 30 seconds during the drying phase (unless by AirDry) or closing it within 2 minutes after AirDry activation will end the programme.
Regular maintenance is essential for the dishwasher's performance and longevity. Before any maintenance, the appliance must be deactivated and disconnected from the mains supply.
Internal cleaning involves wiping the interior with a soft damp cloth and avoiding abrasive products or strong chemicals. The door, including the rubber gasket, should be wiped clean weekly. To prevent grease and limescale buildup, a dishwasher cleaning product should be used every two months, and long-duration programmes should be run at least twice a month.
The filter system, consisting of three parts, needs regular cleaning. Users should turn the filter counterclockwise to remove it, then remove the inner filter and the flat filter. All filters should be washed under running water. After cleaning, the filters must be reassembled correctly, ensuring the flat filter is positioned under the guides and the main filter is locked clockwise. Incorrect filter positioning can lead to poor washing results and appliance damage.
The lower spray arm should be cleaned regularly to prevent clogging. It can be removed by pulling it upwards, washed under running water, and any soil particles removed with a thin pointed tool. To reinstall, it should be pressed downwards. The upper spray arm should not be removed, but its openings can be cleaned with a thin pointed object if clogged.
The manual also provides troubleshooting guidance for common issues such as the appliance not activating, programmes not starting, water not filling or draining, anti-flood device activation, and various malfunctions indicated by flashing lights and acoustic signals. For unsatisfactory washing or drying results, it offers tips related to programme selection, detergent and rinse aid usage, water softener settings, and proper loading. In cases of persistent problems or alarm codes not listed, users are advised to contact an Authorised Service Centre.
