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.

CAUTION

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.

WARNING

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 °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.

WARNING

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 floor. Never install your dishwasher on a platform or poorly supported structure.

Your dishwasher must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Guide before you use it. If you did not receive an Installation Guide with your dishwasher, you can obtain one by visiting our website

• You should remove food remains such as bones, fruit seeds, etc. and any other waste such as toothpicks, paper, etc. from the dishes as these may cause damage to the dishes, create noise, or cause the dishwasher to malfunction.
• Select the appropriate cycle depending on the level of soil and the type of dishes.
• Use only the proper amount of detergent and rinsing agent.

WARNING

Do not wash the following items in your dishwasher

• Acrylic or Aluminum items: Dishes with printed gold rim decoration may become discolored.
• Dishes treated with adhesive: Treated plastics, wood, ivory, copper, and tin may come loose.
• Plastics with a temperature tolerance less than 194 °F (90 °C): Thin plastics wash and dry poorly, and may be damaged due to elevated wash temperatures.
• Tin: Tin items should be washed by hand and dried immediately as may rust.
• Wooden utensils: Wooden items may crack.

ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF THE PLATE SUPPORTS

You can adjust the angle of the tines in the upper rack to three different positions to match the size and shape of your dishes. To adjust the tines, grasp the handle at the back of the rack and push it left or right. See the illustration below. In the lower rack, you can easily remove the plate support to make room for large items such as pots and pans. To remove the plate support, lift up the handles (A). To refi t the plate support, align it so it is in place, and then push down on the handles (A). To fold down the fold-down tines on the lower rack, remove the rack from the dishwasher, turn the rack over, grasp the tine (B), and then adjust it backward. See the illustration below.

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), pull the adjustment handles located at the left and right sides of the upper rack and push the upper rack downwards slightly at the same time.

2. To raise the upper rack, just pull the upper rack upwards. The adjuster handle will latch and the upper rack will move to the high position.

CAUTION

We recommend adjusting the height of the upper rack before loading dishes into the rack. If you adjust the 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.

CAUTION

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.

using your dishwasher

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 large items into the StormWash™ zone

You can load large items such as pots and pans into the StormWash™ Zone - identifi ed by red guide lines - In the lower rack for more effective cleaning. When you select the StormWash™ option, an additional, powerful jet is activated and directed at items in the StormWash™ Zone. Make sure pot handles and other items do not interfere with the rotation of the nozzles.

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 suficiently so you can load it without striking the counter above.

Using the glass support

You can load cups or glasses onto the glass support. This is also very convenient for washing wine glasses. Hang your wine glasses onto the pegs of the glass support. You can fold the glass support back when it is not being used.

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.

USING THE 3RD (CUTLERY) RACK (FOR APPLICABLE MODELS)

Loading the cutlery rack

In addition to the standard cutlery basket in the lower rack, some models come with a cutlery rack.

The cutlery rack is best suited for fl atware and cooking or serving utensils. You can place cutlery and utensils randomly or regularly on the cutlery rack. Heavily soiled utensils or items with baked on foods should be placed in the lower cutlery basket for the most effective cleaning.

Removing the Cutlery Rack

The entire cutlery rack can be removed if more space is needed on the upper rack for larger items.

* When loading the cutlery and utensils onto the cutlery rack, make sure they do not interfere with the top nozzle of the rack. If they interfere, remove the cutlery pad and try again.

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.

CAUTION

Use dishwasher detergent only. Regular detergent produces too much foam, which may decrease the dishwasher’s performance or cause it to malfunction.

WARNING

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 cap by pushing the detergent dispenser release catch.

The flap 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 flap by sliding it to the and then pressing it down

4. For better cleaning result, especially if you have very dirt 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.

Filling the rinse aid reservoir

When the Rinse Refi ll indicator lights up on the control panel, refi ll the reservoir with rinse aid. 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.

1. Remove the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it counterclockwise.

2. Fill the rinse aid reservoir with rinse aid. Use the viewing port when filling the rinse aid reservoir.

CAUTION

Do not fill the reservoir above the full level indicator. Excess rinse aid can over flow during the wash cycle.

3. Turn the rinse aid indicator dial to a number between 1 and 6. The higher the number, the more rinse aid the dishwasher uses. If you are unable to rotate the rinse aid dial easily, try using a coin.

4. Close the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it clockwise.

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 filling 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 flushes. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an 8 ounce cup of white vinegar into the lower basket. Close the dishwasher and let the cycle finish.

CAUTION

Do not remove the tub front seal (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).
