LG Electronics "Dios Dishwasher Removes 6 Major Bacteria Causing Food Poisoning"

LG Electronics DIOS Dishwasher

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 31st that the steam of the Dios dishwasher eliminates all six representative food poisoning bacteria.

LG Electronics recently conducted a study to verify the performance of removing food poisoning bacteria using a sterilization washing course that uses TrueSteam, made by boiling water to 100 degrees, in the Dios dishwasher. As a result, the Dios dishwasher removed 99.999% of six representative bacteria and viruses that cause food poisoning.

According to tests conducted by the UK certification body Intertek using the sterilization washing course, the Dios dishwasher removed 99.999% of Clostridium perfringens.

Previously, the Korea Testing & Research Institute of Chemical Convergence conducted tests with the same course and found that the Dios dishwasher eliminated 99.999% of Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Salmonella, respectively. The World Kimchi Research Institute tested the same course and confirmed that Norovirus and Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (O157:H7) were removed by 99.999%.

LG Electronics emphasized that the Dios dishwasher steam has recently been recognized by several professional institutions for its sterilization performance, removing 99.999% of a total of 13 types of bacteria and viruses, the most in the industry.

LG Dios dishwasher steam is said to have contributed to expanding the domestic dishwasher market by being recognized for significantly enhanced cleaning power, hygiene, and convenience compared to existing products.

Last year, LG Electronics, together with Professor Jihyun Lee’s team from the Sensory Science Laboratory at Pusan National University, proved through a ‘Comparative Behavioral Study of Dishwashing by Dishwasher and Handwashing’ that this product’s cleaning power is about 26% better than handwashing.

The LG Dios dishwasher creates three-dimensional water jets from multiple outlets, including tornado washing blades, to clean dishes quickly and thoroughly. In particular, the X-shaped tornado washing blades at the bottom of the dishwasher rotate alternately clockwise and counterclockwise, producing high-pressure water jets that remove even grease remaining on dishes.

This product is the only dishwasher from a domestic manufacturer equipped with a water softening device that reduces lime scale and decreases water spots. LG Electronics offers a 10-year warranty on the inverter DD motor, which has excellent durability. Other advantages include a smart shelf system with three-stage height adjustment, multi-purpose shelves, and customized dish racks.

Yoon Kyung-seok, Head of the Kitchen Appliance Division at LG Electronics H&A Business Division, said, “We will ensure that more customers can experience the differentiated cleanliness and convenience of the Dios dishwasher.”
