LG INTRODUCES ADVANCED STEAM-POWERED

DISHWASHING TECHNOLOGY IN THE UAE

New Steam Dishwasher Promises Thorough and Hygienic Cleaning with TrueSteam™ and QuadWash™

Dubai, UAE, September 17, 2018 — LG Electronics (LG) is setting new standards for dishwashers with its newest LG QuadWash™ Steam dishwasher equipped with the company’s exclusive TrueSteam™ technology. This revolutionary product sets itself apart from the competition with steam technology that not only cleans more effectively, but also more efficiently. The dishwasher’s host of unique performance-enhancing technologies offer a game-changing way to wash dishes.

TrueSteam™ emits high temperature steam consisting of tiny particles to clean everything from delicate stemware to steel pots and pans, easily separating stains and leftovers from dishes. The technology soaks and loosens tough caked-on food before the main washing cycle. By spraying steam at the end of a cycle, the LG QuadWash™ Steam dishwasher reduces undesirable water spots – one of the most common complaints of dishwasher users – up to 30 percent.¹ LG’s steam technology not only yields impeccable results in cleaning, but also in hygiene, thus upholding LG’s longstanding dedication to exceeding consumer needs. Hot and pure steam particles from boiling water ensure that all dishes undergo thorough hygienic cleaning.

Another core technology of the dishwasher, QuadWash™ raises the bar for dishwashing by using four spray arms instead of two like most dishwashers. The multi-motion arms sweep and rotate back and forth while spinning in both directions to clean plates, glassware, and cookware of all shapes and sizes from nearly every angle. Thanks to multi-directional water streams shot by the spinning attachments, the dishwasher leaves no dishes and kitchenware unwashed.

The dishwasher is powered by the Inverter Direct Drive Motor, which boosts energy efficiency and reduces noise. The motor also adjusts water intensity to allow the soft settings necessary for fragile dishware in the upper rack and a stronger setting for pots and pans in the lower level. This versatility offers more effective cleaning without damaging the dishware.

Moreover, the EasyRack™ Plus system is a shining example of outstanding flexibility and convenience, adjusting to just about any load of dishes, even long-stem wine glasses. With one touch, the upper rack’s height is adjustable to three levels. LG SmartThinQ™ technology has elevated the functionality of a dishwasher to ease daily life for consumers. With the handy LG SmartThinQ™ app, users can start or stop the dishwasher from anywhere, monitor cycle time and even get an alert when the dishes are clean to have the kids unload the dishwasher before they get home. QuadWash™ Steam dishwasher offers nine pre-set wash cycles selectable from the app.

“LG QuadWash™ Steam dishwasher offers everything consumers expect from an LG appliance: convenience, flexibility and especially performance,” said Mr. Kevin Cha, president of LG Electronics Middle East and Africa. “Steam technology offers the perfect balance of superior performance with gentle care, and this kind of innovation has practical and convenience-boosting purpose that customers expect from LG.”

The latest LG QuadWash™ models are available at LG brand shops and all leading electronic retail outlets in the UAE.
