Steam dishwashers combine steam with water, detergent, and spray jets to support dishwashing. This technology suits Indian kitchens, where utensils are exposed to gravies, oil, spices, and other food residues.

What Is a Steam Dishwasher and How Does It Work?


A steam dishwasher uses steam during selected wash programmes along with water and detergent. LG TrueSteam™ generates steam by boiling water to 100°C. The steam circulates inside the dishwasher and helps loosen food residue during the wash process.

LG TrueSteam™ works alongside other dishwasher technologies. Depending on the model, LG dishwashers can feature QuadWash™, which uses multi-motion spray arms for cleaning coverage from different angles, and EasyRack™ Plus for flexible rack adjustment.

For effective washing, remove large food particles before loading and arrange utensils for water and spray coverage.

Steam Dishwasher vs. Regular Dishwasher: What’s the Difference?


Both regular and steam dishwashers use water, detergent and spray jets during the wash process. The key difference is that a steam dishwasher adds steam as part of selected wash programmes. In LG dishwashers, LG TrueSteam™ generates steam by boiling water to 100°C, which works alongside the dishwasher’s existing washing system. Depending on the model, features such as QuadWash™ and high-pressure jets work with the steam and water system to provide effective spray coverage during the wash. This means steam is an additional technology within the washing process rather than a replacement for water, detergent or spray jets.

LG TrueSteam™ has been tested under controlled conditions and has demonstrated its ability to result in less water spots. Results may vary depending on the selected programme, load and operating conditions.

3 Steam Dishwasher Benefits


Steam technology adds another layer to the dishwashing process, especially while dealing with stubborn residues and less water spots.

  1. Helps loosen stubborn food: High-temperature steam can soften dried-on food and residues before or during the wash.
  2. Supports hygienic cleaning: TrueSteam™ uses high-temperature steam to support hygiene during selected programmes.
  3. Less water spots: Steam technology helps leave dishes with less visible water spots.

How can I get my glass utensils to come out spot-free after a dishwasher wash?


Water spots on glasses can occur due to water quality, mineral deposits, detergent, drying conditions and the dishwasher programme. Using the appropriate rinse aid and water-softening system, where available, can help manage water spots.

LG TrueSteam™ can also help with less water spots during the wash process, with results depending on the selected programme, load and operating conditions.

Can Steam Help with Water Spots?

LG TrueSteam™ helps with less visible water spots, supporting cleaner-looking dishes after the wash cycle.

  1. Use dishwasher salt as recommended for the water-softening system.
  2. Add rinse aid based on the dishwasher's requirements.
  3. Clean the filter regularly.
  4. Arrange glasses and utensils to allow proper drainage.
  5. Select the appropriate programme for the load.

Dishwasher Sanitizing vs. Cleaning


Cleaning removes food, grease and visible dirt, while sanitising reduces microorganisms through appropriate high-temperature washing conditions.

LG India reports more than 99.999% reduction of selected bacteria with TrueSteam™ under specified controlled test conditions. Results depend on the test conditions and should not be considered a guarantee for every household load.

When Should You Use Dishwasher Sanitisation?

Sanitisation can be considered when additional hygiene support is required while washing dishes, utensils and cookware. A steam-enabled or high-temperature programme may be suitable depending on the load and the available options on the dishwasher.

Programme availability differs by model, so users should follow the programme recommendations for their specific dishwasher.

How to Clean the Dishwasher?

  1. Clean the filter regularly to remove trapped food particles.
  2. Clean the spray arms to maintain proper water flow.
  3. Wipe the door seal to remove residue.
  4. Use the Machine Clean cycle where available.
  5. Allow the dishwasher interior to dry properly after use.
  6. Remove large food particles from utensils before loading.

Steam technology can support the overall cleaning process, but it should not replace regular dishwasher maintenance.
