It features adjustable racks, and detachable sections that can be customized to fit various dish sizes and shapes, ensuring optimal loading and cleaning performance.

EasyRack™ fast tracks dishwashing, so users do not have to run multiple loads. It saves both time and effort for you.

To understand how this technology works, it is essential to understand how direct drive motors work. LG's Direct Drive Motor uses an external rotor-style BLDC motor, linked directly to the dishwasher pump, eliminating the need for belts or pulleys. This simplified design not only ensures quiet and reliable operation but also improves reliability.

LG Inverter Direct Drive simplifies the sump motor structure by reducing unnecessary parts, eliminating friction points, leading to better durability & lasting performance. The technology helps dishwashers achieve energy efficiency and leads to quiet operation.

Using a dishwasher can offer several benefits over washing dishes by hand, making it a convenient and efficient choice for many households. Here are the main advantages of using a dishwasher:

• Time-Saving: Dishwashers can clean a large number of dishes, glasses, and utensils in a single cycle, saving you significant time and effort compared to washing each item individually by hand.

• Efficient Cleaning: Dishwashers are designed to provide consistent and thorough cleaning. They use powerful jets, high temperatures, and specialised detergents to remove smell, dirt, and bacteria effectively.

• Water Conservation: Contrary to popular belief, modern dishwashers are generally more water-efficient than hand washing when used efficiently. They use less water and energy per load, helping to conserve resources.

• Energy Efficiency: Dishwashers today are designed to be energy-efficient. They often have energy-saving modes and features like Inverter Direct Drive motors that optimise energy consumption.

• Sanitization: Dishwashers can reach higher temperatures during the wash cycle, which helps kill germs and bacteria, providing a more hygienic clean compared to hand washing in potentially cooler water.

• Consistency: Dishwashers provide consistent cleaning results, reducing the risk of human error that can occur when washing by hand, like improper rinsing thoroughly.

• Less Wear and Tear on Hands: Dishwashing by hand can lead to dry, cracked hands due to exposure to hot water and detergents. Using a dishwasher eliminates this issue.

• Space Saving: Dishwashers can store dirty dishes until you're ready to run a cycle, keeping your kitchen counters cleaner and less cluttered.

• Energy and Water Savings: Over time, using a dishwasher can result in significant savings on your energy and water bills, especially if you have a high-efficiency model.

• Convenience: Loading and unloading a dishwasher is generally more convenient than hand washing, as it requires less physical effort.

• Environmentally Friendly: When used efficiently, dishwashers can be more environmentally friendly than hand washing, as they use fewer resources per item cleaned.

Dishwashers are designed to work with specific types of detergents formulated for machine use. Using the wrong type of detergent can lead to poor cleaning results, excessive foaming, and damage to your dishwasher. Here are the main types of dishwashing detergents that can be used in a dishwasher:

• Dishwashing Powder: It is a common type of good quality dishwasher detergent in granular form. You can pour it into the detergent dispenser in the dishwasher. 

• Dishwashing Gel: It is convenient to use, as you can pour it directly into the detergent dispenser. Gel detergents often contain enzymes and surfactants for effective cleaning.

• Dishwashing Tablets or Packs: Dishwashing tablets or packs are pre-measured doses of detergent encased in a dissolvable wrapper. These are convenient and ensure that you use the right amount of detergent for each cycle. They often include a combination of detergent, rinse aid and dishwasher cleaner.

• Eco-Friendly Dishwashing Detergents: Numerous eco-friendly and phosphate-free dishwasher detergents are readily available. These products are designed to be environmentally friendly and are often offered in powder, gel, or tablet forms. 

• Dishwasher Rinse Aids: Rinse aids are not detergents but are used in conjunction with them. They help improve drying performance and reduce water spots on dishes by lowering the surface tension of water. Rinse aids are typically dispensed automatically by the dishwasher.

Please check the guidelines provided by the dishwasher manufacturer and the detergent manufacturer for proper usage. Specific dishwasher models may have particular recommendations or prerequisites for detergent usage. It's important to note that excessive detergent usage can result in subpar cleaning outcomes, so it's advisable to adhere to the recommended dosage instructions indicated on the detergent packaging.

Dishwasher detergents are formulated for use in dishwashers and should not be used for hand washing dishes, as they may be harsh on the skin. Conversely, regular dish soap for hand washing dishes should not be used in a dishwasher, as it can cause excessive foaming and potentially damage the dishwasher's components.
