[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] LG Electronics launched a new built-in exclusive model of the ‘DIOS Dishwasher Steam’ on the 25th.

While existing freestanding dishwashers required cutting the kickboard under the sink when installed as built-in units in the kitchen, this new built-in exclusive model can be easily installed without cutting the kickboard.

LG Electronics applied the same dark silver color used in the ultra-premium built-in ‘SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE’ dishwasher to the internal shelves of the new product. Features such as 3-level height adjustment, multi-purpose shelves, and customizable dish racks have also been incorporated, preserving the advantages of the smart shelf system.

The DIOS dishwasher, like LG Electronics’ other hygiene appliances such as dryers and stylers, uses TrueSteam technology with 100°C water to enhance sterilization power. According to LG Electronics’ tests using the DIOS dishwasher sterilization wash cycle, six representative bacteria and viruses that cause food poisoning were all eliminated by 99.999%. Previously, in tests conducted by the Korea Testing & Research Institute using the same cycle, the DIOS dishwasher removed Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Salmonella by 99.999% each. Additionally, tests by the World Kimchi Research Institute showed that the DIOS dishwasher sterilized Norovirus and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (O157:H7) by 99.999% using the same cycle. Intertek’s tests also confirmed that Clostridium perfringens was removed by 99.999%.

Moreover, last year LG Electronics collaborated with Professor Ji-hyun Lee’s Sensory Science Laboratory at Pusan National University on a ‘Comparative Behavioral Study of Dishwashing by Dishwasher and Hand Washing,’ which demonstrated that this product’s cleaning power is approximately 26% superior to hand washing.

The DIOS dishwasher is the only dishwasher among domestic manufacturers equipped with a water softening device that reduces limescale and decreases water spots. According to tests by the German testing agency TUV Rheinland, when the limescale level in water is around 100ppm, using the DIOS dishwasher’s TrueSteam and water softening device together reduced water spots by 87%.

In addition, LG Electronics offers a 10-year warranty on the inverter DD motor installed in the DIOS dishwasher.

Yoon Kyung-seok, Vice President and Head of the Kitchen Appliance Division at LG Electronics H&A Business Division, said, “By introducing new products that reduce installation burdens, we aim to enable more customers to experience the differentiated cleanliness and convenience of the DIOS dishwasher.”
