MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Electrical supply and grounding
To prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.
Never use an extension cord.
When preparing for installation, ensure that you provide:

• An individual branch circuit with a 120 V, 60Hz, 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker that serves only your dishwasher .

Your dishwasher must be grounded. If your dishwasher malfunctions or breaks down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.
Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and then connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
Water supply
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 ) – 149 (65 ).° °C °F °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.
Never install your dishwasher on a platform or poorly supported structure.

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 inches. (30 cm) in diameter and the upper rack can accommodated plates up to 8 inches. (20 cm) in diameter.

1. To lower the upper rack by 2 inches. (5 cm), remove the upper rack as shown in removing the upper rack guideline 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 guideline 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.
    Recommended adjusting the height of the camo UDP 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 property. camon lf 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.
Recommended 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 sufficiently to load dishes without striking the counter above.

USING THE 3RD RACK(For applicable models) ****

• The 3rd rack is best for flatware and cooking or serving utensils.
  Use the 3rd rack to organize flatware or utensils.

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

• NOTE: The 3rd 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 to the right.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. erving spoons
6. Serving forks

USING DETERGENT
All dishwasher cycles require detergent in the detergent compartment.
Add the correct amount (Next page) 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.

   The additional detergent will be used during the pre-wash phase.

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

The numbers inside the dispenser refer to grams.
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.

4. 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.
