Reading the series numbers
AEG labels most of its appliances with a four-digit series, starting at 3000 and topping out at 9000. The logic is the same for an oven, a dishwasher or a fridge: as the number climbs, so does the number of sensors, automatic programmes and premium touches. It's a quick way to narrow the field. Then read the product page, because two models in the same series can still differ.
Many series carry a name as well. On ovens you'll see SurroundCook, SteamCrisp and SteamPro; on laundry, 7000 ProSteam, 8000 PowerCare and 9000 AbsoluteCare.
Steam ovens explained
Steam is where AEG's cooking range stands out. A SurroundCook oven moves heat evenly with a fan, so several shelves cook at once. SteamCrisp adds bursts of steam to that fan heat: roasts brown on the outside and stay juicy within, and bread gets a better crust. SteamPro can also cook on steam alone, which is ideal for fish and vegetables, and some models add sous vide for gentle, precise cooking at low temperatures.
Hobs and hoods that work as a pair
With Hob2Hood, a compatible AEG hob signals a compatible AEG hood, and the hood sets its fan and light to suit what's on the hob. You need both halves, so make sure each product page mentions it. If you'd rather have no hood at all, a vented induction hob pulls steam down at pan level and keeps the space above an island clear.
Designed for fitted kitchens
Most of the AEG kitchen range is built in. Dishwashers and most fridge freezers sit behind a door that matches your units. Stack the ovens, compact ovens, warming drawers and coffee machine in a tall housing and keep to one finish (black glass, matt black or stainless steel) so the column reads as a set. Sticking to one series as well keeps the controls consistent from top to bottom.
Before you order
- Measure every opening. Compare oven housings and the worktop cut-out with the installation sizes on each product page, not with the appliance you're replacing.
- Sort out the supply. Expect a qualified electrician to wire in double ovens and bigger induction hobs. Gas hobs are a job for a Gas Safe registered engineer.
- Check the integrated fittings. Integrated fridges and dishwashers are faced with a door from your kitchen supplier; check whether yours needs a sliding or fixed hinge.
- Decide on extraction. A hood or vented hob either ducts air outside or cleans it through filters and returns it to the room.

AEG: your questions answered
Is AEG a German brand?
Yes. AEG started in Germany and today belongs to the Electrolux group.
What does the number in an AEG product name mean?
It's the series, from 3000 up to 9000. Generally, the higher the number, the more sensors and automatic programmes you get, along with extra premium touches. Each product page lists exactly what that model has.
How do SteamCrisp and SteamPro differ?
SteamCrisp combines steam with fan heat for crisp, juicy results. SteamPro can also cook with steam on its own and gives finer control, with sous vide on some models.
What do I need for Hob2Hood?
A compatible AEG hob and a compatible AEG hood. Once they're paired, the hob switches the hood on and adjusts its fan and light while you cook. Check both product pages before ordering.
Are AEG dishwashers freestanding or integrated?
AEG's dishwashers are built to be integrated, hiding behind a door matching your units, in 45cm slimline or 60cm widths.
Can I control AEG appliances from my phone?
Plenty of them can. Many ovens link to AEG's app over Wi-Fi, as do some of the dishwashers and laundry machines. Look on the product page to see whether a model is connected.
Can you install my AEG appliance?
Built-in electric cooking and freestanding appliances, yes, within our installation area, and we can recycle the old one too; both are priced in the basket. Integrated appliances go in with your kitchen fitter, and hoods, vented hobs and gas hobs need a qualified installer or Gas Safe registered engineer, though we can still recycle what they replace.
