IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING – When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

• As with any equipment using electricity, water, and moving parts, potential hazards exist. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
  Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

• When loading items to be washed:

  • Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal, and
  • Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Do not touch the HEATING ELEMENT during or immediately after use.

• Do not touch the VENT ELEMENT during or immediately after use.

5. Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

6. Do not touch the HEATING ELEMENT during or immediately after use.

7. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all ENCLOSURE panels are properly in place.

8. Do not tamper with the controls.

9. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or on a dish rack of the dishwasher.

10. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

11. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flo w from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is f lammable, do not smoke or use an open flame d uring this time.

12. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

    • After unpacking the dishwasher, keep the packaging out of the reach of children.

    • The dishwasher is extremely heavy. Do not attempt to move or carry the dishwasher by yourself. Two or more people are needed to move a dishwasher and avoid potential injuries. Do not install the dishwasher near electrical components. Keep the dishwasher away from open f lames.

    • Install and level your dishwasher on an uncarpeted floor that can support its weight.

    • Your dishwasher must be properly grounded. Never connect it to an ungrounded outlet. See page 10 for more information on grounding your dishwasher.

    • Connect the ground wire to the green ground connector in the terminal box.

    • After the dishwasher is installed, check that the drain hose is properly connected and
      that there is no leakage from the hose connectors. If the drain hose is loose, it may cause property damage.

    • The water supply line is susceptible to breakage. As time goes by, it becomes less f lexible. Check the line periodically. If it is swollen, torn, cut, or there is a water leak, replace it immediately.

    • To safely operate this appliance, familiarize yourself with its operations and exercise care when using it.

    • Do not put gasoline, solvents, or other flammable materials inside the dishwasher. Do not wash dishes exposed to these materials.

    • Keep your dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children. Detergent has an adverse effect on human organs. It contains elements for polishing and is corrosive. Avoid letting the detergent come into contact with your skin and eyes.

    • Do not push or place pressure on the door when it is open, as this may damage the dishwasher or cause harm.

    • Do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. They may harm themselves or damage the dishwasher.

    • Disconnect the power cable (or set the circuit breaker to off) before servicing your dishwasher.

    • Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your dishwasher yourself. Disassembly, repairs and modific ations must be performed by authorized service technicians only. Work done by an unauthorized person may void your warranty.

    • Before disposing of your dishwasher, remove the door of the washing compartment or the door latch so that children or small animals cannot get trapped inside.

    • If the dishwasher is left unused for an extended period of time, turn off the water supply.

    • This dishwasher is intended for residential use only.

The hot water supply line pressure must be between 20-120 psi (140-830 kPa). Adjust the water heater to deliver water between 120 °F (49 °C) – 149 °F (65 °C).

• Most plumbing supply stores sell water supply lines of various lengths up to 10 feet (305 cm) long.
• You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:
  • Making water faucets easily accessible.
  • Turning off faucets when the dishwasher is not in use.
  • Periodically checking for leaks at water supply line fittings.
• Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check all connections at the water supply valve and faucets for leaks.

Flooring

• For safety, your dishwasher must be installed on a solidly constructed f loor.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK
You can adjust the height of the upper rack in your Samsung dishwasher so that the lower rack can accommodate larger sized dishes. With the upper rack set at the highest position, the lower rack can accommodate plates up to 12 in. (30 cm) in diameter and the upper rack can accommodated plates up to 8 in. (20 cm) in diameter.

1. To lower the upper rack by 2 in. (5 cm), remove the upper rack as shown in Removing the Upper Rack below. Then, reinsert the rack so that the upper four wheels on each side of the rack are above and below the guide rail. See the Lower position illustration to the right.
2. To raise the upper rack, remove the upper rack as shown in Removing the Upper Rack below. Then, reinsert the rack so that the lower three wheels on each side of the rack are above and below the guide rail. See the Upper position illustration to the right. A We recommend adjusting the height of the
   CAUTION upper rack before loading dishes into the rack. If you adjust the rack after loading the dishes, you may damage the dishes.

REMOVING THE UPPER RACK
Pull the upper rack towards the front and then remove it by lifting it up slightly and pulling it towards the front. See the illustrations below.

• While the upper rack is removable, it must be installed for the dishwasher to operate properly.
• If you attempt to operate the dishwasher without the rack, noise will occur and the dishwasher will perform poorly.

LOADING THE LOWER RACK

• The lower rack has been especially designed for dinner dishes, soup bowls, plates, pots, lids, casserole dishes, and plates.
• Load large items such as pans and pots into the dishwasher so their open sides face downwards. We recommend loading cups, stemware, and small plates into the upper rack.
• See the recommended loading patterns below.

LOADING THE UPPER RACK

• The upper rack has been designed for small plates, mugs, glasses, and plastic items marked “dishwasher safe”. Load your plates into the dishwasher in two half rows, so that the front of each plate faces the back of the plate in front of it, and the open sides of the plates at the center of the dishwasher face each other. See the illustrations below.
• Make sure the loaded dishes do not interfere with the rotation of the nozzle which is located at the bottom of the upper rack. (Check this by rotating the nozzle by hand.)
• When loading dishes, pull the upper rack out suff iciently so you can load it without striking the counter above.

USING THE 3RD RACK

• The cutler rack is best for flatware and cooking or serving utensils.
  Use the cutlery rack to organize flatware or utensils.

• For best results, place heavily soiled items in the standard cutlery basket.

• NOTE: The cutlery rack can be removed if you need more space on the upper rack to clean larger items.

USING THE CUTLERY RACK

• You can place each knife, spoon, or fork separately into the spoon stands in the basket’s covers to prevent chipping and discoloration.

• You can use the cutlery rack with the cover open. Refer to the illustration below.

• The spoon stands as seen from above with the suggested placement of cutlery items. Match the numbers in the diagram to the numbers in the list of cutlery items below.

• DO NOT let any item extend through the bottom.

1. Spoons
2. Knives
3. Salad forks
4. Forks
5. Serving spoons
6. Serving forks

USING DETERGENT
All dishwasher cycles require detergent in the detergent compartment.
Add the correct amount of detergent for the selected cycle to ensure the best performance.

• Use dishwasher detergent only. Regular detergent produces too much foam, which may decrease the dishwasher’s performance or cause it to malfunction.
• Do not swallow dishwasher detergent. Avoid breathing in the fumes. Dishwasher detergent contains irritants and caustic chemicals that can induce respiratory conditions. If you have swallowed dishwasher detergent or inhaled the fumes, seek medical attention immediately.
• Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Filling the detergent dispenser

1. Open the detergent dispenser c ap by pushing the detergent dispenser release catch.
   The f lap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle.

2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main wash detergent compartment.

3. Close the fl ap by sliding it down to the closed position, and then pressing it down.

4. For better cleaning result, especially if you have very dirty items, pour a small amount (about 15 g) of detergent onto the door.
   The additional detergent will activate during the pre-wash phase.

The cover opens automatically to dispense the detergent during the wash.

CYCLE

| AMOUNT OF DETERGENT
---|---
Main wash dispenser| Onto the door for pre-wash
Auto, Normal| 20 g| 10 g
Heavy, Express 60| 30 g| 15 g

Filling the rinse aid reservoir

• Your dishwasher has been designed to use liquid rinse aid only.

• Using a powdered rinse aid will clog the reservoir opening and cause the dishwasher to malfunction.

• Rinse aid improves the drying performance of the dishwasher.

• Do not add regular detergent to the rinse aid reservoir.

  1. Open the rinse aid reservoir cap.

  2. Fill the rinse aid reservoir with rinse aid.

• Use the viewing port when fil ling the rinse aid reservoir.

• Do not f ill the reservoir above the full level indicator.

• Excess rinse aid can over flo w during the wash cycle.

• View the amount of rinse aid in the reservoir through the clear viewing port. Stop adding when the reservoir reaches the full level.
• Close the rinse aid reservoir cap.

cleaning and maintaining your dishwasher

Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary repairs, and lengthens its life.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft, damp cloth on the control panel to gently wipe away spills and dust. Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, or alcohol. These materials may discolor the inner walls and cause stains. Do not clean the dishwasher by sprinkling water over it and avoid letting water come into contact with any of the electrical parts.
If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, you can clean it with a stainless steel cleaner for Home Appliances or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

• Clean the interior of your dishwasher periodically to remove any dirt or food particles. Wipe the inside of the dishwasher and the inner part of the door with a wet dishcloth. We recommend f illing the detergent dispenser with dish detergent, and then running the dishwasher empty periodically using either the Normal or Express 60 cycle with the sanitize option. This will keep your dishwasher clean.
• If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher, run the Normal cycle with the dishwasher empty and without detergent until it f lushes. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an 8 ounce cup of white vinegar into the lower basket. Close the dishwasher and let the cycle f inish.
  Do not remove the tub front seal (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher). Do not touch the HEATING ELEMENT during or immediately after using the dishwasher.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

1. Turn off the dishwasher.

2. Rotate the f ilter insert counterclockwise to unfasten and then detach the f ilter insert.

3. Remove the f ine f ilter (fl at, rectangular).

4. Remove any dirt or other remains from the fil ter, and then rinse under running water.

5. Reassemble the f ilter in the reverse order of disassembly, re-insert the f ilter insert, and then rotate it clockwise as shown until closed.
   If the fil ter insert is not closed properly, its performance will be decreased.

CLEANING THE NOZZLES

If your dishwasher does not seem to be cleaning adequately or the nozzles seem clogged, you can clean each of the nozzles. When removing the nozzles, take care as they may break.

Lower nozzle

1. Check whether the nozzle holes are clogged by food particles.
2. If cleaning is needed, remove the nozzle by pulling it upwards.
3. Clean the nozzle, and then push it back into place.
4. Check whether the nozzle is engaged correctly by rotating it by hand.

Middle nozzle

1. Pull the upper rack towards the front and remove it.
2. Check whether the nozzle holes are clogged by food particles.
3. If cleaning is needed, remove the nozzle.
4. To remove the nozzle, unfasten and remove the nut, and then remove the nozzle.
5. Clean the nozzle, re-insert it, and fasten the nut.
6. When fastening the nut, turn it fir mly by hand.
7. Check whether the nozzle is engaged correctly by rotating it by hand.

Upper nozzle

1. Check whether the nozzle holes are clogged by food particles.
2. If cleaning is needed, remove the nozzle.
3. To remove the nozzle, pull out the upper rack f irst, unfasten the nozzle cap by turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the upper nozzle.
4. Clean the nozzle, re-insert it, and then fasten the nozzle cap to the nozzle by turning the cap clockwise.
5. Check whether the nozzle is engaged correctly by rotating it by hand.

STORING YOUR DISHWASHER

• If you need to store your dishwasher for an extended period of time, fir st drain and disconnect it. If you leave water in the hoses and internal components, you can damage the dishwasher.
• After draining and disconnecting the dishwasher, be sure to turn off the water supply valve and circuit breaker.
