The AEG FSB73427Z 45 cm integrated slimline dishwasher holds 9 place settings and uses AirDry to open its door during drying, letting moisture escape so your dishes dry well. This 7000 series model also offers GlassCare, which keeps the temperature steady to treat delicate glassware gently, and it sits behind a furniture door that matches your units, taking up less room than a 60 cm machine.
Washing
Water reaches both baskets from dual spray arms on top and a satellite spray arm underneath. An ECO cycle takes 9.9 l of water and 0.628 kWh, and consumption is rated at 63 kWh per 100 cycles. With GlassCare selected, the wash is held at no more than 45 °C and the temperature is kept from shifting suddenly. AirDry nudges the door open in the drying phase and leaves it slightly ajar for steam to escape; it works with all programmes and you can turn it off when children are around.
Programmes and controls
Run a finger along the MY TIME slider, where washes are arranged by their length, or choose AUTO Sense to have the load assessed for you. The 7 programmes are:
- ECO, which uses the least water and energy
- AUTO Sense
- 160 Minutes for heavily soiled pans
- 90 Minutes, 60 Minutes, and Quick 30 Minutes for lightly soiled dishes that go straight in
- Machine Care, which cleans the inside
An ECOMETER display shows how economical each choice is. Options include XtraPower for a longer, hotter wash, ExtraSilent to slow the wash pump and cut noise, and a Delay start of 1 to 24 hours. Beam-on-Floor shows red on the floor while it works, switches to green when done and flashes red to warn of a fault. You get upper and lower baskets plus a cutlery basket.
Size and installation
The body is 818 mm high, 446 mm wide and 550 mm deep, and it needs a niche 450 mm wide, 550 mm deep and 820-900 mm high. Hot or cold water can supply it, at up to 60 °C and between 0.5 and 10 bar; the inlet and outlet hoses are both 150 cm long, and the inlet carries Aqua control. A floating switch protects against flooding, and the power rating is 1950 W, on a 10 A fuse. Finish it with a furniture door panel that matches your cabinets.
