AEG FSS64907Z - User Manual

This document is a user manual for an AEG dishwasher, model FSS64907Z. It provides comprehensive information on the appliance's function, usage, and maintenance.

Function Description

The AEG FSS64907Z is a household dishwasher designed for cleaning dishes and tableware. It incorporates a water softener system to remove minerals from the water supply, which helps prevent negative effects on washing results and the appliance itself. The water softener's regeneration process is automatic and occurs regularly during normal dishwasher operation. The appliance also features a rinse aid dispenser to improve drying results and prevent streaks and stains.

The dishwasher offers a variety of programs tailored to different load types and soil levels, accessible via the MY TIME selection bar and an AUTO Sense program button. The MY TIME bar allows users to select programs based on duration, ranging from a quick 30-minute cycle for light soil to a 2-hour 40-minute cycle for heavily soiled items. The ECO program is highlighted as the most energy and water-efficient option for normally soiled loads. The AUTO Sense program automatically adjusts the wash cycle based on the degree of soil and the amount of dishes, optimizing temperature, water quantity, and wash duration.

Additional "EXTRAS" options, such as "ExtraPower" and "GlassCare," allow users to customize programs further. "ExtraPower" enhances washing results by increasing wash temperature and duration, while "GlassCare" protects delicate items by preventing rapid temperature changes and reducing the wash temperature to 45°C.

The appliance includes a "Beam-on-Floor" feature, projecting a red light on the floor during a program and turning green upon completion. This visual indicator helps users monitor the program status, especially when the AirDry function is active and the door is open.

Usage Features

Before first use, the manual guides users through essential setup steps: adjusting the water softener level according to local water hardness, filling the salt container with dishwasher salt, and filling the rinse aid dispenser. It emphasizes the importance of using rough salt designed for dishwashers to prevent corrosion and ensure good washing results.

Loading the dishwasher correctly is crucial for optimal performance. Users are advised to utilize the entire basket space, place hollow items facing downwards, ensure glasses do not touch, and position light or plastic items in the upper basket to prevent movement. Cutlery and small items should be placed in the cutlery drawer. The manual also provides tips on what materials are dishwasher-safe and recommends pre-soaking or scouring heavily soiled cookware rather than pre-rinsing by hand to save water and energy.

Starting a program involves selecting the desired cycle using the MY TIME bar or the AUTO Sense button, activating any necessary EXTRAS, and closing the appliance door. The "Delay Start" function allows users to postpone the program start for up to 24 hours. The "Auto Off" function automatically switches off the appliance when a program is completed or after 5 minutes of inactivity, contributing to energy savings.

The manual also addresses opening the door during operation, noting that it pauses the appliance and may affect energy consumption and program duration. However, if the door is opened for more than 30 seconds during the drying phase (unless by AirDry), the program will end.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is essential for the dishwasher's longevity and optimal performance. The manual provides detailed instructions for cleaning various components.

Internal Cleaning:

The "Machine Care" program is specifically designed to clean the appliance interior, removing limescale and grease buildup. The appliance indicates when this program is needed.
Before running "Machine Care," users should clean the filters and spray arms.
A descaler or dishwasher-specific cleaning product should be used with the "Machine Care" program, and no dishes should be in the baskets.
The interior should be wiped with a soft damp cloth, avoiding abrasive products, sharp tools, or strong chemicals.
The door, including the rubber gasket, should be wiped clean weekly.
A cleaning product designed for dishwashers should be used at least once every two months to maintain performance.

External Cleaning:

The appliance exterior should be cleaned with a moist soft cloth and neutral detergents, avoiding abrasive products or solvents.

Filter System Cleaning:

The filter system, composed of three parts, should be checked and cleaned after each use to prevent foreign objects from decreasing cleaning performance or damaging the drain pump.
Instructions are provided for disassembling, washing, and reassembling the filters.

Spray Arm Cleaning:

The lower, upper, and ceiling spray arms should be cleaned regularly to prevent soil from clogging the holes, which can lead to unsatisfactory washing results.
Users are instructed on how to remove and clean the lower spray arm and how to clear clogged holes in all spray arms using a thin pointed tool.

The manual also includes a troubleshooting section with common problems, alarm codes, and their solutions, empowering users to resolve minor issues independently before contacting an Authorized Service Centre. It emphasizes the importance of providing the product number code (PNC) when seeking professional assistance.
