European Energy Symbol
Manufacturer's name and model number. Check that the label belongs to the appliance before you buy.
Appliances with an 'A' are the most efficient, those with 'G' the least.
Selecting an 'A' appliance saves you money and protects the environment.
Electricity consumption. Always kWh/year for refrigeration appliances and kWh/cycle for all other appliances. Assuming that one kWh is 7p, who can calculate your
annual saving.
Energy consumption is broken down for laundry and dishwashing appliances. Again, 'A' is the most efficient, 'G' the least.
Further information on water consumption and the appliance capacity is provided here.
Finally, you may find data about the level of noise the appliance produces, though the manufacture do not have to provide this information.
