Asko Appliances first with evironmental Swan labelled dishwasher
2007-10-04
A Swan labelled dishwasher is signified by low electricity consumption, low noise level and low water consumption. The Swan label also guarantees the reduced use of certain materials that are hazardous to our health and the environment.
To be marked with the Swan label the dishwasher has to pass certain tests at an independent institute where energy efficiency, washing- and drying results are tested during a normal program. The Swan labelled machine has energy rating AAA at a normal program and a low noise level at 43dB and a very low water consumption. ”Our Swan labelled dishwasher uses 30% less water than most other dishwashers on the market. With 43dB it is significantly more quiet than the average machine that has 47dB.” says Lotta Wångdahl.
Gun Nycander, Manager of building and energy with The Swan labelling company:”We are thrilled that consumers now have the possibility to choose a high quality dishwasher that at the same time is environmentally friendly. This is an important step in our work for the environment and the future.”
