White goods power consumtion

[cryptogram]

Having recently installed solar panels I'm now searching for the power consumption of various equipment in the house and am struggling. For example, our kettle says it's 3 kilowatt. Fair enough, but I cannot find the power consumption of our Bosch dishwasher. It seems these days that you get told anenergy rating so you can compare one machine with another, but that's not the same thing. To know that it consumes 2 kwh to do a wash is not the samething as knowing that it consumes 2 kw (or whatever) while actually running. One needs to know how much it consumes while running to know whether thesolar panels, whose spot generation is known and varies a lot during most days, will power the machine for free or whether we've got to wait a bit for the sun to come out more.
Anyone know where proper info can be got? I haven't been able to get it from the manufacturers' websites.

There is usually a label with model/serial number and power
consumption on the internal edge of the door.
