AEG Semi-built-in dishwasher 5000 AirDry FEB52630ZM

The AEG 5000 AirDry FEB52630ZM semi-integrated dishwasher is designed to combine washing efficiency, optimal drying and everyday ease of use. With a capacity of 13 place settings according to the IEC standard, it fits perfectly with the needs of a standard household while offering eight different programmes, ranging from a quick 30-minute cycle to a long 160-minute programme, alongside the essential Auto, Eco and machine-care programmes.

The standout innovation of this model lies in its AirDry technology combined with the AutoDoor system: at the end of the cycle, the door automatically opens by 10 centimetres to let in ambient air, enabling natural drying that is up to three times more effective, with no additional energy consumption from heating. For households concerned about hygiene, the ExtraHygiene function raises the final rinse to 69°C for at least ten minutes, eliminating more than 99.9999% of bacteria and viruses, a performance validated by an external test carried out by an independent laboratory.

In terms of organisation, the height-adjustable upper basket, which can be adjusted even when loaded, makes it easy to adapt the available space to the dishes being washed, and includes handy folding shelves for cups. The lower basket, meanwhile, features two foldable plate supports to accommodate dishes of various shapes, while an integrated cutlery basket completes the set. For particularly dirty loads, the XtraPower option boosts cleaning power, while the GlassCare function protects delicate glassware during washing.

This dishwasher is fitted with an Inverter motor, a guarantee of reliability and longevity, backed by a ten-year warranty on this key component. Safety is also covered thanks to the AquaControl system, which detects any water leaks, complemented by the AutoOff function that automatically switches off the appliance once the cycle is finished. A sensor continuously measures how dirty the water is in order to automatically adjust the duration and intensity of the wash.

Easy to use thanks to its QuickSelect digital slider and three-digit display, the appliance also allows a delayed start of 1 to 24 hours to be programmed according to the household's needs. With a low noise level of just 44 dB, it can be used discreetly, even in a kitchen open onto the living room, while still allowing a connection to hot water up to 60°C for greater energy efficiency.
