Page 1 of 3 Press Release Luton, February 16, 2016 New AEG-Electrolux ProClean range: outstanding interior design and performance for today’s dishwashing. More loadable space, superb cleaning (however you load it) and baskets for all kinds of differently shaped items! At last! A dishwasher that shakes off the shackles of the industry standard’s 1970’s place setting to comfortably accommodate 21st Century wash loads! The industry standard for dishwasher “settings” was created back in the 70s and until now has remained the same, even though we demand so much more from our dishwasher today. Did you know…the industry “place setting standard” (see *) doesn’t include pots and pans, salad bowls or serving dishes!! And it only allows for plate sizes up to 26cm diameter. So until now it is assumed that we all have the standard load of the seventies place settings – dinner plates, side plates, dessert dishes, cups – and saucers! Research by AEG-Electrolux and University of Bonn* has found that today’s load is very different. AEG-Electrolux has therefore redesigned the interior and provided 10L more loadable volume to fit big dishes, pots, larger plates up to 34cm in diameter – in other words: perfect for real-life. Page 2 of 3 The new specially engineered baskets ensure that everything can be washed in the dishwasher and items are angled at such a way to get maximum coverage from the double rotation ‘Satellite Sprayarm’ which makes up 5 spraying levels to ensure perfect cleaning. This action ensures every angle is covered for outstanding performance, whatever is being cleaned. The unique wave form baskets guarantee easier loading of all crockery and cutlery and better cleaning and drying. There is a new ‘Hygiene’ option for items like chopping boards, knives, jam jars etc, which has a hotter final rinse to ensure complete hygiene and the new wave shape Self Cleaning Filter allows a better circulation of water to remove all food particles. With more people living, eating and entertaining in the kitchen, noise level on dishwashers is also a very important consideration. The new AEG-Electrolux range is extremely quiet while the new top of the range model F99000MP has the lowest noise level of any dishwasher at just 39db. This is so quiet that you can’t even hear that it is on! The new AEG-Electrolux F99000MP uses just 0.99 kWh of energy, which means that running costs are much lower and we have lowered the water consumption to just 10 litres – and by selecting the Auto programme this can go as little as 7 litres!

The standard is: 1 dinner plate, 1 soup plate, 1 dessert plate, 1 cup, 1 saucer, 1 glass, 1 fork, 1 soup spoon, 1 knife, 1 tea spoon, 1 dessert spoon.
