Cleaning And Care; If You Think Your Machine Is Not Working Properly - AEG OKO FAVORIT 645 Operating Instructions Manual

Cleaning the filters
Coarse filter (fig. 15)
Remove the coarse filter and brush it clean
under running water. Check the lower half of
this filter also and remove the food residues
which may be trapped there. Note that the
upper cylindrical section of the coarse filter
can be lifted out (fig. 16).
When replacing ensure that the upper section
sits straight and tight before re-inserting the
coarse filter.
Fine filter (fig. 17)
Clean the fine filter (a) and microfilter (b) as
and when necessary. To remove the fine filter
turn it anticlockwise. Clean it thoroughly. When
replacing the fine filter make sure that the
edge of the filter forms a proper seal with the
bottom of the tub. Then turn it clockwise.
Never carry out a wash programme without
a filter.
Maintenance
Fascia panels and controls must not be
cleaned with abrasive cleaning materials or
furniture polish. Should cleaning be necessary
use lukewarm water only.
If you think your machine is not working properly
Before you call out a service engineer check the

A continuous hum can be heard?
(even when the machine is switched off)
• The anti-flood system has been activated
(see page 22).
• First close the water tap, then switch off at
the power socket and remove the plug.
• To rectify the problem, call AEG Service.
The programme does not start?
• Are the fuses in working order?
• Is the door closed properly?
(There is a short pause after the machine
has filled with water!)
The machine is not taking in any water?
• Have you turned on the tap?
• Check the water inlet hose (it must not be
kinked).
The start/indicator switch stops at the begin¬
ning of the wash (lilT) or final rinse (■>£)
cycle?
• Have you opened the water tap fully?
(See page 16.)
• Is the filter in the inlet hose blocked? The
filter is located where the hose attaches to
following points carefully, it will save you the cost
the tap. Unscrew the hose and clean the
filter under running water.
• Check the water pressure. It must be at
least 1 bar(15 Ib/sq.inch)-see page 21/22.
The dishes are not clean?
• Did you select the correct programme?
The programme has to be chosen accord¬
ing to the degree of soiling.

recommendations? The water sprays must
have access to the dishes from all sides -
the baskets must not be overloaded.
• Were the spray arms able to rotate freely?
When the upper spray arm is stationery it
rests at an angle to allow the remaining
water to drain off at the end of a pro¬
gramme. During the programme it will auto¬
matically return to a horizontal position.
• Are the filters clean? Have you inserted the
filters properly after cleaning?
• Did you use the correct amount of deter¬
gent?
