LARGE CAPACITY HYBRID DRYING SYSTEM

LG dishwashers allow you to load very large items in both the upper and lower racks. The tall tub provides extra overall capacity and the clearance to accommodate large dishes. Extra large items (max. 14 in.) may be loaded in the lower rack by raising the upper rack.
This system effectively dries dishes without the use of a heating element that would increase energy consumption.

STEAM WASHING (not available on all models)
Steam technology provides better cleaning performance than regular wash systems. Steam is the most energy efficient gentle care for your finest china and stemware.

VARIABLE SPRAY SYSTEM

Because the water spray alternates between the upper and lower racks, all of the power from the motor is directed to one rack at a time. This concentrates all the cleaning power of the motor on each rack in turn.

LIGHT TOUCH BUTTONS

The light touch buttons on the control panel make selections easy and convenient.

LOADING THE LOWER RACK
CAUTION
NON-DISHWASHER SAFE ITEMS
The combination of high water temperature and dishwasher detergents may damage certain items. LG does not recommend washing the following items in the dishwasher: · Hand painted silver or gold leaf dishes · Wood or bone handled utensils · Iron or other rust prone utensils · Plastic items that are not dishwasher safe When in doubt, check the manufacturers’ recommendations.
The extra tall tub allows loading of dishes, pans, or other utensils up to 14 inches high. The lower rack is recommended for dinner plates, soup bowls, dishes, pots, pans, lids, and grill trays. Plates should be positioned vertically and facing the center of the rack. Pots, pans, and large bowls must be turned so that the inside faces downward. The silverware basket may be used in either the lower or upper rack.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 15
The lower rack should not be used for small items such as cups, wine glasses, or small plates. These items should be loaded in the upper rack. For models with steam, load heavily soiled or stained dishes in the front left side of the lower rack with the dirty side facing down. This is the area that the stream enters the dishwasher. The use of hot steam maximizes the dishwasher’s cleaning performance.

SUGGESTED LOADING PATTERN

ADDITIONAL LOADING PATTERN

RACK LOADING TIPS
y Load plates, soup bowls etc. between the tines. y Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large items on the
sides or back of the rack. Loading these items in the front of the dishwasher can prevent the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser. y Make sure that pot handles and other large items do not stop the rotation of the spray arms.

NOTE
Make sure that large items do not interfere with the rotation of the spray arms, and do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

LOADING THE SILVERWARE BASKET

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 17

The silverware basket has separators to avoid scratching and tarnishing of delicate silverware. The basket can be separated into three separate baskets that can be used individually in both the upper and lower racks. Unlock the tabs above the left and right sides to separate.

WARNING
Be careful when loading and unloading sharp items. Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of personal injury.
SILVERWARE LOADING TIPS: y For best cleaning results, use the top separators in the basket
when loading silverware. The separators will prevent nesting of silverware. y Load sharp items, such as knives, pointing down. y When unloading the dishwasher, it is best to start with the silverware basket. Doing so will prevent water droplets from falling on your silverware from the upper rack.

20 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LOADING THE CUTLERY RACK (on some models)

HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE TRAY (on some models)
Each side tray can be adjusted independently to a high or low position to accommodate different sizes of utensils or cutlery. Remove dishes before adjusting the tray.

The cutlery rack is best suited for washing flatware and most cooking or serving utensils. The separators on the cutlery racks help keep flatware separated to avoid damage and improve cleaning. The rack can also accommodate small prep bowls and lids. Using the rack allows you to remove the silverware baskets from the lower racks.
NOTE: For best cleaning performance, place flatware in the silverware baskets. Heavily soiled utensils or items with baked on foods should be placed in the middle rack or spoon basket for best performance.

Sample 10-place setting.

Each tray is adjusted by lifting it out and rotating it front to back.
Removing the Cutlery Rack The entire cutlery rack can be removed if more space is needed on the upper rack for larger items.
NOTE
Always remove the cutlery from the rack before removing the rack.

Right Alternate

Wrong
If the handles of your flatware are too thick, then reverse the pieces so that the handles face the other direction, as shown in the bottom figure.

Pull the rack out to the end of the rails. Then, lift the front of the rack so that the rollers clear the stop on the end of the rail. The rack can now be slid forward and removed from the rails.
WARNING
Be careful when loading and unloading sharp edged items. Load sharp knives with the blade down to reduce the risk of injury.

ADDING DETERGENT TO THE DISPENSER

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 21

· Only use detergent intended for automatic dishwashers. · Detergent must be put into the detergent compartment be-
fore starting any cycle, except the Rinse Only cycle. · Use less detergent if the dishes are only lightly soiled. Using ex-
cess detergent can leave a film on dishes and in the dishwasher resulting in poor wash performance. · The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes.
NOTE
Remove the label on the dispenser prior to running the dishwasher.
Push button to open
If the lid is closed, press the lever on the bottom side of the lid to open the dispenser.
Main wash Compartment

NOTE
DO NOT add detergent when the Rinse Only cycle is selected.
Pre wash Compartment
Place proper detergent into this compartment
3 If a prewash is desired, fill the recessed prewash com-
partment area in the lid with detergent.
NOTE
Too much detergent can leave a film on dishes and in the dishwasher, resulting in poor wash performance. Do not use detergent tablets for shorter wash cycles. The tablet may not dissolve completely, causing detergent residue on dishes and inefficient cleaning.
CAUTION
DETERGENT INFORMATION Use only detergent intended for automatic dishwashers. Incorrect detergent may cause the dishwasher to fill with suds during operation. Excess sudsing may reduce wash performance and may cause the dishwasher to leak. DO NOT use hand dish washing detergent in this dishwasher.

Place proper detergent into this compartment
2 Add dish washing detergent to the main wash compart-
ment until the level is between the lines marked 20 and 30. Fill to the 30 line for hard water or heavily soiled loads. Fill to the 20 line for soft water or lightly soiled loads. Close the lid firmly until it clicks.

RINSE AID DISPENSER ADJUSTMENT
Rinse-Aid Indicator Adjust Lever (Rinse)

2 Add a liquid rinse aid to the maximum fill level. When
filling the rinse aid dispenser, aim the rinse aid at the arrow. Make sure that the rinse aid is settled in the dispenser while filling.

The rinse aid dispenser is set to level 3, which should provide the best performance under most conditions. Adjust the setting higher if you have hard water and notice calcium buildup on your dishes.
If you notice film on your dishes, use a lower setting. Setting the rinse aid control too low will contribute to spotting and streaking of dishes and poor drying performance. Setting the control too high can cause foaming, which will cause poor wash performance.
To adjust the rinse aid dispenser setting, remove the cap and adjust the rinse aid lever to the desired setting. Point the arrow to the left for a lower setting, right for a higher setting.
REFILLING THE RINSE AID The regularity of the dispenser needing to be refilled depends on how often dishes are washed and the rinse aid setting used. If the rinse aid level is low, the Rinse Aid light on the control panel will illuminate.

RINSE AID FILLING TIPS:

y

The Low Rinse Aid indicator will appear in the display

when more rinse aid is needed.

26 FAQS
FAQs

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS
Is a rinse aid required to be used?
Rinse aid is strongly recommended to enhance the drying performance of the dishwasher. In order to be more energy efficient, the hybrid drying system does not utilize a heating element in order to assist in drying, so a rinse aid plays an integral role in the drying process. If a rinse aid is not used, water may remain on the dishes and the tub. Rinse aid will help to ensure that the majority of the water has been sheeted off of the dishes at the end of the rinse and that the load is ready for the dry cycle.
What can be done if my dishes have a cloudy, white film on them after a wash?
The cloudy film is usually caused by minerals in the water reacting with the dishwasher detergent. First, be certain not to use too much detergent. Refer to the owner’s manual for recommended detergent amounts by cycle. Add an Extra Rinse to the cycle, or run a Heavy cycle. LG Dishwashers use less water than traditional dishwashers, so adding an Extra Rinse will aid in rinsing the film away. If the water supply is hard, it may be necessary to add a performance booster that addresses the hard water condition.
What is the Sanitary Rinse and how is it activated?
The Sanitary Rinse will increase the heated rinse to approximately 161°F (72°C). The normal heated rinse temperature will vary from cycle to cycle.
What steps can I take to improve drying results?
Drying performance is directly affected by the amount of heat that remains in the tub after the heated rinse is performed. If your dishwasher is far away from your home’s hot water heater, it may be necessary to run the hot water tap in the sink before starting a wash cycle, to ensure that cool water is purged from the hot water lines. This will ensure your dishwasher has a consistent supply of hot water from start to finish. Using the Sanitary Rinse setting will also aid in keeping the inner drum temperature and dishes hotter before drying begins.
LG dishwashers are designed to be used in conjunction with a rinse aid. Using a rinse aid will maximize the amount of water that has already been sheeted away from the dishes before the dry cycle begins. If a rinse aid is used and the performance still needs a boost, adjust the amount of rinse aid used by the indicator on the rinse aid cap. 4 is the default setting, but if necessary, set the level to 5 so more rinse aid will be used.
Allow the dishwasher to completely finish the dry cycle before opening the door. If the door is opened mid dry cycle, the heat that is necessary for the hybrid dry system to work will escape. This will cause all of the dishes inside to remain wet once the cycle finishes.

What is the hybrid drying system?
The dishwasher does not rely on a heating element for the drying process; instead, it relies on the heat that is retained by the dishes and the tub during the wash and rinse cycles to turn the moisture in the tub into humidity. Warm, moist air in the dishwasher is then pulled into a condensing duct in the door by a fan. The air then cools, which causes the humidity to condense. Room temperature air is also drawn into the duct to help the air cool down faster. When this moisture condenses into a liquid, it is drained out.
NOTE
Rinse aid is required to enhance the drying performance. If no rinse aid is used, water may remain on the dishes and the tub.
Why is there a whistling sound?
It is important to determine how long the noise occurs and when it happens (what part of the cycle). When water is drawn into the dishwasher, a whistling noise can be heard. This is normal. If the water pressure is too high, it will be louder so it may be necessary to adjust the water valve to lower the pressure if the noise is too loud.
What is Dual Control?
Dual Control is an option that can be utilized during wash cycles. This option enables you to fully customize the wash cycle intensity for the upper and lower racks, independently, in the same load. For example, by selecting a soft spray for the upper rack and strong spray for the lower rack, you can wash delicate stemware in the upper rack while washing pots and pans in the lower rack.
What kind of dishes can be placed in the dishwasher?
Ensure that the dishes you place in the dishwasher are dishwasher safe. Plastic dishware will not dry as effectively as glass and metal dishware. Plastic items do not retain heat as well as glass and metal dishware. Plastic cups and dishes may require some hand drying before being put away at the end of the cycle.
Can I perform a drain only cycle?
The dishwasher does not have a drain only function; however, the dishwasher will drain on its own for the first 45 seconds of a new cycle. To drain standing water, select a wash cycle and let it run for only 45 seconds. Then, turn the unit off and let it reset. Repeat as necessary.

Search

ENGLISH

How long does the clean indicator stay lit after the cycle is complete?
The clean light indicator on the dishwasher will stay lit for 4 minutes before turning off. You can, however, program the dishwasher so that the clean light stays on until the dishwasher door opens.
Why does my dishwasher continuously beep if I open the door during a cycle or right after the cycle has finished?
This is normal. The dishwasher is letting you know that the interior temperatures of the unit are hot and to use caution when placing your hands inside. Once the unit has cooled down, the beeping will stop.

FAQS 27
PRODUCT FEATURES AND OPERATION
What is the benefit of steam?
Steam allows for thorough cleaning of baked on foods while using less water than other power scrub methods. Steam also allows for enhanced cleaning performance when cleaning fine china and stemware items on a delicate cycle. Stream particles are smaller and more active so their penetrating power is more effective. Steam also increases the interior temperature of the dishwasher, which helps in melting oily or waxy substances, like lipstick along the rim of a glass.
What is Child Lock and how is it activated?
Child Lock is a feature that will prevent the controls from being changed during the cycle. It does not prevent the door from being opened or the unit from being powered off. To activate or deactivate, press the Spray and Rinse buttons (LDS5774 : Half Load and Delay Start buttons) simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Why is “PF” showing up on the display?
PF is not an error code indicating a malfunction. PF indicates that there was a power failure. This function protects the dishwasher in the event that the power goes out or the power to the unit is disrupted. When power is returned and a button is pushed, this will display for 10 seconds and then go away.
INSTALLATION
What size is the 90° elbow?
The 90° elbow should have a 3/8″ NPT on the end that connects to the dishwasher.
Can I add an extension to the drain hose?
No, an extension cannot be added.
