[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 26th that the Dios Dishwasher Steam removes three types of food poisoning bacteria.

LG Electronics recently conducted a joint study with the World Kimchi Research Institute to verify the performance of the Dios Dishwasher Steam in removing food poisoning bacteria. The study confirmed that it removes 99.999% of three representative bacteria that cause food poisoning: enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, human norovirus, and hepatitis A virus.

In this study, the 'Dios Dishwasher Steam' with the True Steam function, which boils water at 100 degrees Celsius, was tested using the standard course and the high-temperature sterilization and steam options. Twelve types of utensils were tested, including baby bottles, bottle nipples, cutting boards, spoons, glass cups, tumblers, scissors, knives, and tongs. Unlike previous tests that used rice bowls or soup bowls, this experiment focused on utensils that are difficult to clean and require high hygiene.

Based on the results of this experiment, LG Electronics plans to continue expanding related tests on various utensils used by customers in the future.

The LG Dios Dishwasher Steam has contributed to expanding the domestic dishwasher market by being recognized for significantly enhanced cleaning power, hygiene, and convenience compared to existing products.

This product has been recognized by several professional institutions for its sterilization performance, removing 99.999% of a total of 13 types of bacteria and viruses in tests conducted on rice bowls or soup bowls, the most in the industry until recently.

Last year, LG Electronics, together with Professor Jihyun Lee’s Sensory Science Laboratory at Pusan National University, conducted a ‘Comparative Behavioral Study of Dishwashing by Dishwasher and Hand Washing,’ proving that this product’s cleaning power is about 26% better than hand washing.

The LG Dios Dishwasher includes tornado washing blades and creates three-dimensional water jets from multiple outlets to clean dishes quickly and thoroughly. In particular, the 'X-shaped' tornado washing blade at the bottom of the dishwasher alternately rotates 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 thus decreases water spots.

Meanwhile, LG Electronics launched the LG Objet Collection dishwasher last October. This product features a built-in design that reduces installation burden. It also has a display on the door front showing the remaining time. The colors available are solid green and solid silver in stainless steel material, and nature beige in metal material.

Yoon Kyung-seok, Vice President and Head of the Kitchen Appliance Division at the H&A Business Division, said, "We will lead the kitchen appliance market by offering products equipped with hygiene and premium functions so that customers can use them safely and conveniently."
