AEG, Electrolux and Zanussi dishwasher symbols

9 lights, programmes and buttons that AEG shows in its own manual or support pages, each in our own drawing, with the maker’s own name for it next to ours. Tap a symbol for what it does, what to do, where makes differ and every source.

Check your manual — models differ. Two AEG, Electrolux and Zanussi dishwashers can carry different programmes, options and lights, and the same drawing can mean different things on different brands; only your model’s manual says exactly what a light or button does on your machine.

Read this first

AEG, Electrolux and Zanussi are all Electrolux-group brands; the source here is one AEG manual, for the FSK52917Z. AEG names to know: AirDry opens the door by itself during the drying phase, so a door standing ajar at the end is normal; Beam-on-Floor is the light on the kitchen floor that shows the machine is running; and GlassCare is an option added to a programme, not a programme of its own. AEG also says ECO is its longest programme, about 4 hours. No Electrolux- or Zanussi-branded dishwasher manual has been checked yet, so on those machines confirm the names in your manual.

Not listed for AEG, Electrolux and Zanussi

The AEG, Electrolux and Zanussi documents checked here do not show these dishwasher symbols from this site, so they are left off this page: Water supply light, Intensive programme, Half load, Extra dry option, Hygiene or sanitise option, Pre-rinse or soak programme, Speed option, Tablet or all-in-one option. That does not mean no AEG, Electrolux and Zanussi dishwasher has them — only that no AEG, Electrolux and Zanussi manual or support page cited here shows the symbol. If your machine shows one, see all dishwasher symbols by shape.
