Dishwashers from AEG

Dishwashers AEG deservedly occupy one of the first places in this segment. Under this brand, built-in and free-standing dishwashers are supplied, models with a width of 45 and 60 cm. It is important not only to understand the nuances of the choice, but also to study the operating instructions, to find out what the various codes mean, signaling a device malfunction.

The demand for AEG dishwashers is understandable. They are collected at a very high level and take care of the maximum number of useful options. These are models of equipment that are economical and contain a lot of dishes. The manufacturer focuses on their ability to carry heavy loads and on the simplicity of the control system. The company offers versions with different levels of capabilities and capacities.

The difference in characteristics allows you to choose an individual solution, taking into account your needs. Judging by the reviews, the dishwashers of this brand serve for a long time and have no particular complaints about their performance.

AEG technology also has a number of innovative options. They allow you to:

• optimize the space inside the dishwasher;
• accurately determine the level of loading and the degree of clogging;
• improve drying;

• exclude extraneous sounds when moving dishes;
• protect fragile dishes from damage.

FFB95261ZW is a good example of this group. Immediately after the end of the wash, the door of the machine is slightly opened by 10 cm. The width is 600 mm. The dishes will dry naturally thanks to the automatic opening. It is possible to postpone the start, the maximum delay time is 24 hours. The designers have optimized the consumption of water and detergents. They also took care of the effective protection of the breakable glass.

The control panel is colored white by default. Up to 13 utensil sets can be placed inside. The sound volume during operation does not exceed 47 dB. There is a program of especially intensive washing at a temperature of 70 degrees. Information about the remaining time is displayed. A special sensor of the purity of the liquid accurately sets the level of its transparency. Indication of the presence of salt and rinse aid is provided. The linear dimensions are 85x60x62.5 cm, and the net weight of the machine itself is 41.55 kg.

This group is represented by the FFB95140ZM dishwasher. Its width is only 450 mm. A special option guarantees the direction of the water jet even to the most remote areas of the washing chamber, which allows you to achieve the utmost cleanliness. Of course, the developers also thought about preserving fragile glass. The body is made entirely of stainless steel. You can put 9 sets of cookware inside (according to the IEC standard). The sound volume, again, is no more than 47 dB.When setting the economy program with 50 degrees, the water and current consumption will be 9.9 liters and 777 W, respectively. A modern water sprinkler is provided.

An alternative is the FFB95140ZW dishwasher. It is equipped with a sprinkler that washes away dirt even in the most remote areas and ensures perfect cleanliness. A special option maintains ventilation after the end of the wash. Places inside 9 dish sets; the weight of the device is 35.45 kg, and its dimensions are 85x44.6x61.5 cm.

It is appropriate to start the review of this variety with FSR53617Z. Such a dishwasher is designed for washing large items of dishes and for processing tightly standing rows. GLubina cleaning is achieved by improving the shape of the sprinkler. In fact, the liquid hits each surface area 3 times. A special important option guarantees ease of coordination with the help of finger movements; natural drying is maintained.

By the color of the beam, one can judge the completion of the work or its continuation. Special sliding hinges guarantee a harmonious installation of the machine.

A high-quality built-in dishwasher of small width is also quite necessary for many people. And AEG also closes this position by offering the FSM31400Z model. Its width is only 45 cm. The designers have thought of the opportunity to postpone the start, which is very valuable for busy and economical people (especially in the presence of two-tariff meters). The postponement time does not exceed 3 hours. There is a mode for partial rinsing of dirty dishes, which allows you not to wait for a full load. The control panel is gray. You can put up to 9 sets of dishes inside. The sound volume does not exceed 49 dB. Normal operation is rated at 65 degrees.

It may seem that choosing a dishwasher is quite simple, because dozens of characteristics do not need to be studied, and those that are important are intuitively accessible. But it is still important to figure out in advance which option is needed and which is not. The main difference in size comes down to the narrow and full-size versions. In the former, the width ranges from 450 to 500 mm, in the latter it is 600 mm. The height is the same - about 850 mm; it varies by manipulating the length of the legs. The depth is almost always 600 mm. Exceptions are rare and must be specified in the official descriptions. The slim versions hold 9 or 10 dish sets, the full-size samples can hold up to 16 sets.

The smallest versions will further save space. They put 1-5 sets of dishes. Use a fully built-in device if you want to disguise the entire dishwasher. It will look just like a simple extra box. The specific dimensions and capacity are determined by the number of users and the load intensity. Even lonely individuals may have different needs.

You also need to pay attention that glasses, mugs, especially pans and pots take up a lot of space. If they are to be washed often, a large reserve will have to be left. The classic layout means washing large dishes in the lower basket, small items in the upper container. Analyzing the category of a sink is a tricky thing. But you don't need to pay special attention to it; all the same, any somewhat decent models wash dishes in about the same way, and it is difficult to visually recognize the difference between them.

Drying class A indicates that the dishes are perfectly dry. Groups B, C imply light humidity. Condensing technology does not dry as efficiently and quickly as turbocharged models. Opening the door is a very important function, and it is stupid to purchase dishwashers without it. Display control makes cars more expensive, but they turn out to be more convenient.

True, in some cases, the rejection of the screen is compensated by the use of LED indication. It reliably indicates the operating modes. Summing up the recommendations for selection, you need to point out the following criteria:

• method of spraying water;
• electricity consumption;
• water consumption;
• the ability of the filter to clean itself (it is difficult and disgusting to remove dirt manually);
• the volume of the sound being emitted;
• quality of protection against water leaks;
• the presence of a half load mode;
• the presence of a sterilization regime;
• protection from children.

It is very important to know the key fault symbols. They are, of course, given in the form of special codes. Most often, users encounter the following problems:

• i10 - lack of water inside the machine during a critical time;
• i20 - water is not drained (blockage, tap shutoff, sensor malfunction);
• error i30 - reaction of the Aquastop system (provoked by a sensor failure or real water leakage into the sump);
• i40 - contamination of filters or inability to provide normal filtration for another reason;
• i50 - violation in the operation of the control module;
• i60 - the inability to normally warm the water or its overheating.

When working, you must carefully monitor that foreign objects do not fall into the lock of the dishwasher. It is not recommended to slam the door, blocking its course is also categorically unacceptable. Safety regulations also prohibit:

• the use of water from the car for drinking purposes;
• leaving an open typewriter unattended;
• using it for commercial purposes;
• cleaning the device without disconnecting from the electrical network;
• cleaning with water under pressure or steam jet;
• drilling the side walls of the apparatus;
• the use of dishwashers in rooms where at least occasionally there is a minus temperature.

Before you turn on the device, you need to install it on a stable platform and check the quality of the connection to the electrical network, water supply and sewerage. It is also advisable to check the grounding, the parameters of the supply networks and make sure that the wiring is in good condition. You should use only those modes that are necessary to complete the assigned tasks. About this, as well as the meaning of specific indicators, you can read in the technical data sheet for a specific model. Even after the warranty period has expired, it is strongly recommended to contact only authorized service centers.

If there are water hardness switches, they must be used. The completion of work can be recognized by the characteristic sound signals. It is worth noting that it is allowed to use only those detergents that are approved by the manufacturers specifically for dishwashers.

Other recommendations:

• turn on the machine only if there is detergent in the dispenser;
• allow the dishes to cool before removing;
• clean the filters regularly (not relying too much on self-cleaning);
• regularly wipe the outer surfaces of the device with a soft cloth;
• if persistent problems are identified, reboot;
• in case of further failure, contact the service center;
• dispose of the dishwasher in accordance with the legislation in a particular city;
• put spoons separately from other utensils so that they do not stick;
• if possible, remove food residues in advance, simplifying the operation of the device;
• when using tablet formulations of mixed composition, enable the Multilab option;
• use only the recommended water softeners in accordance with the standard dosages;
• push in all covers so that they lock in their normal positions.
