For small households, using a dishwasher machine efficiently means running fewer but fuller loads. Avoid washing just a few items—wait until the rack is nearly full to conserve water and energy. Load similar items together, placing larger utensils at the sides and smaller bowls or glasses on the top rack. Use shorter cycles when dishes are not heavily soiled, and scrape off food bits before loading to prevent clogs. Don’t block the spray arms—ensure water can reach all items. Clean the filter weekly to maintain performance. Consider running the machine at night if your usage is minimal during the day. With a few smart habits, even a compact household can get full utility from a dishwasher without unnecessary waste.For more information: https://www.lg.com/in/dishwasher/
