Changes for dishwashers | V-ZUG Switzerland

Our AdoraDish V6000 with heat pump achieves energy efficiency class A, the highest class on the EU energy label. In the Eco programme, it consumes 55 kWh per 100 cycles and 6,5 litres of water per cycle.

Since 1 March 2021, stricter energy labelling requirements have applied across the European Union. The AdoraDish V6000 with heat pump is rated in the highest energy efficiency class, A. This is made possible by heat pump technology and a range of fast, V-ZUG-specific programmes. Our new generation of dishwashers achieves energy efficiency class A across all comfort levels. The only exception is the OptiLift models, which are rated in energy efficiency class B.

The categorisation of the energy efficiency rating for dishwashers is still based on the «Eco» programme, but the test standard has been changed. For example, in order to better reflect actual user behaviour, cups, pans and plastic utensils are now used to assess the cleaning and drying performance.

Energy label for a V-ZUG dishwasher: Class A, 39 kWh, 13 place settings, 8.6 liters of water consumption, and 42 dB.

Furthermore, the label now includes the duration of the Eco programme. As in the case of washing machines and washer-dryers, the energy consumption is based on 100 cleaning cycles. The Swiss efficiency requirements remain identical to those of the EU. The new minimum requirement for dishwashers is efficiency rating G.
