Hygiene
27. How hygienic are the washing results of a dishwasher, compared to manual washing?
Dishwasher is better than manual because:
1. Manual wash is usually done with cold water whereas a dishwasher uses hot water to wash
the dishes; this helps to kill harmful germs during the washing cycle.
2. The dishes come out dry which means that there is no need for drying them manually
afterwards or leaving them out for drying them – which reduces dust accumulation on the
dishes.
3. The sponge used in the manual wash accumulates and breeds germs, which is not hygienic
28. Can I wash baby bottles and other utensils which require hygienic wash?
Yes, you can wash baby bottles and chopping boards in the dishwasher. It has the option of
'Hygiene' which means that the last wash is at a temperature of 75 degrees which reduces the
number of germs even more than the normal washing cycle.
Water and energy consumption
29. How much water does a dishwasher consume compared to hand wash?
A dishwasher uses on average 10-14 litres of water (depending on the model) whereas hand
wash requires 30-40 litres.
30. Will my electricity bill shoot up after using the dishwasher?
A dishwasher is quite energy efficient as it uses only 1-2 kW of energy every wash (depending on
the chosen programme).
31. Why is the water consumption of the 14 place settings lower compared to the 12 place
settings?
In our 14 place setting dishwasher we have an advanced technology wherein we ensure an even
better utilization of the water and thus it results in lower water consumption.
Further questions
32. How long does the dishwasher last?
Depending on the usage, it runs for 10-12 years.
33. Is a smaller version of a dishwasher available, since I have a space constraint?
There are slimline dishwashers which are 45 cm wide instead of 60 cm. Also, there are compact
table top dishwashers.
34. It's just two of us. Some 4 plates and glasses. Why do I need a dishwasher?
Dishwasher makes life simpler; one can stack the dishes in the dishwasher every time after using
dishes and then run it after 2-3 meals, when the dishwasher is full. An alternative is using the
half-load option which can be run in case of less utensils.
