Experience customised dishwashing by connecting your appliances to The AEG App. Get guidance of which program to run based on load, time and soil level. Control off-peak hours to run the dishwasher to save energy cost. The app summarises and provides ECO reports. The app sends reminders and guides on how to maintain the dishwasher and the Machine Care program.

Gentle care for your glassware
The unique SoftGrip feature ensures that the stem and foot of every glass are held gently but firmly in exactly the right position throughout the duration of the program. Protected from vibration.

The soft material gently holds glasses securely in place and protects them from cracks and breakage.
