SETTING UP YOUR DISHWASHER

Be sure to have your installer follow these instructions closely so that your new dishwasher works properly and that you’re not at risk of injury when washing dishes.

UNPACKING YOUR DISHWASHER

• Once your new dishwasher has been delivered to you, carefully unpack it and check for any damage. If the dishwasher has been damaged, make note of it on the waybill and keep a copy. Do not install the dishwasher, and contact Samsung Customer Service at the number listed below.
• If there is no damage to the product, you can proceed with the installation. If you are going to install it yourself, make sure to read through the installation guide and follow the directions inside.
• After unpacking your dishwasher, keep the packaging out of the reach of children to ensure their safety.

CHECKING PARTS

• When your dishwasher has been unpacked, make sure you’ve received all the parts shown below. If your dishwasher was damaged during shipping, or if you do not have all the parts, contact Samsung Customer Service at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864).

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 your power supply provides: An individual 120 Volt, 60 Hz branch circuit serving only your dishwasher with a 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker.
• 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 ˚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 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 at www.samsung.com.

If you want to load more dishes or pause the dishwasher while it is already running, make sure to open the door slowly and carefully as there is a possibility of injury from the hot steam or water inside the dishwasher.

(If the door is opened while the dishwasher is running, a safety mechanism is activated that stops the cycle.) To resume operation, press the Start button, and then close the door. Note that adding dishes several minutes after the dishwasher started operating may affect the performance.

You should use rinse aids for better drying performance. You can further improve drying performance by also selecting the Sanitize option.

Touch Controls

Touch controls allow you to operate the dishwasher easily.

• They are convenient to operate, requiring only a soft touch.
• Have a simple and stylish design.
• Are easy to clean.

If you have children or you want to clean the Control Interface, we recommend activating the Control Lock feature to lock the control buttons.

• Children will not be able to accidently start the dishwasher by touching the controls with this option selected.
• If a cycle is running, the buttons will not respond. (except the Power button and Control Lock & Cancel options)
• If the dishwasher is off, only the Power button responds.

Delay Start

• When you select the Delay Start option, your dishwasher will begin the selected cycle when the delay time expires.
• The Water Reflector Interference Signal:
  • The water reflector interference feature automatically detects obstacles in the tub. If it detects an obstacle, the display blinks and the dishwasher chimes for several minutes. If an obstacle is detected at the end a cycle, "0" blinks for several minutes.
  • Remove any obstacles in the bottom of the dishwasher.

Auto Release™

The Auto Release™ Dry function, which is designed to improve drying performance, automatically opens the dishwasher's door 5 to 15 minutes before a cycle ends.

You can enable or disable Auto Release™ Dry in two ways: Using the Setting Mode or using the toggle keys. Both methods are described starting below.

Auto Release™ On/Off

• Using Setting Mode
  • To enter Setting mode, press the Delay Start + Sanitize buttons for 3 seconds while the dishwasher is on.
  • Press the Sanitize button until "A1" or "A0" is displayed. "A0" disables Auto Release™ Dry. "A1" enables Auto Release™ Dry. Select "A1" for better drying results.

• Pocket LED Brightness Setting: Press the Sanitize button until "B0-B5" is displayed. The higher the number, the brighter the LEDs. To change the setting on the dishwasher, press the Delay Start button.

When using the dishwasher, try to arrange the dishes properly as described on page 21.

• 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.

Do not wash the following items in your dishwasher.

• Acrylic or Aluminum items: Acrylic and aluminum items can discolor dishes with printed gold rim decoration and mar other items.
• Dishes treated with adhesive: Treated plastics can come apart. Wood, ivory, copper, and tin glued to dishes can come loose.
• Plastics with a temperature tolerance less than 194 ˚F (90 ˚C): Thin plastics wash and dry poorly, and may be damaged by elevated wash temperatures.
• Tin: Tin should be washed by hand and dried immediately as it can rust.
• Wooden utensils: Wooden items can 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 front of the rack, and then push it left or right. See the illustration below.
• In the lower rack, you can easily fold down the fold-down tines to make room for large items such as pots and pans. Remove the rack from the dishwasher, and then fold down the tines one at a time. 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. Depending on where you set the upper rack height, 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 adjust handles located at the left and right sides of the upper rack, and then 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.

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. If you do not adjust with left and right handle together, the dishwasher door may not close properly. Pull out the upper rack from the tub until it is fully revealed before adjusting the upper rack.

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

USING THE 3RD (CUTLERY) RACK (FOR SOME 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 flatware 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.

Loading the cutlery pad

• Some models come with a removable, foldable cutlery pad along with a cutlery rack. To use, place the pad on the cutlery rack. and then place cutlery and serving and cooking utensils on the pad in a random or regular fashion. After a wash cycle is complete, and the cutlery and utensils are dry, you can fold the pad and carry the cutlery and utensils in the pad to their storage locations.
• Use caution when folding and moving the rack with a long thin item inside the pad. The item may fall out in this process, causing physical injury.
• It is advisable not to move the pad while it is wet. Wait until the pad is dry. The pad dries quickly after a wash cycle when exposed to air for a few minutes.

USING THE CUTLERY RACK

• The cutlery rack consists of two compartments.
• 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 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 on the pegs of the glass support.
• You can fold the glass support back when it is not being used.

USING THE EASY CADDY (FOR SOME MODELS)

• Use this Easy caddy on the left of the upper rack to hold spatulas, serving spoons, and similar items.

• If you want to remove the Easy Caddy, hold the upper basket and one end of the Easy Caddy, before lifting it up.

USING ZONE BOOSTER

• To use the Chef cycle (for some models) and the Zone Booster option, load heavily soiled items into the left side of the lower rack-the Zone Booster area. With the Chef cycle, you can clean stubborn items that were used with your oven. The Zone Booster function supplies more powerful water jets to the Zone Booster area. Make sure pot handles and other items do not interfere with the rotation of the nozzles and the water reflector.
• You can load lightly soiled items in other areas or racks while using the Chef cycle.

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 flap 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 left and then pressing it down.

4. For better cleaning result, especially if you have very dirt items, pour a small amount (about 1/2 of an ounce or 15 g) of detergent onto the door. The additional detergent will activate during the pre-wash phase.

USING RINSE AID

Filling the rinse aid reservoir

When the Rinse Refi ll indicator lights up on the control panel, refi ll 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. Do not add regular detergent to the rinse aid reservoir.

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. Do not fill the reservoir above the full level indicator. Excess rinse aid can overflow 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 door panel and other outer surfaces 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 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 dishwasher soap, and then running the dishwasher empty periodically using the Self Clean option. To keep the cutlery pad clean, turn it over. This will keep your dishwasher clean. If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher, run the Self Clean option 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.
• Do not remove the tub front seal (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).
• Do not move the water reflector by hand. You can damage the dishwasher's motor.

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 can break.

Upper nozzle

1. Open the door, and then pull out the upper rack to reveal the upper nozzle.
2. Turn counter clockwise to remove the nozzle cap (95** series) or the nozzle nut (9990 & 9960 series), and then remove the nozzle.
3. Unclog and clean the nozzle.
4. Reinsert the nozzle, and then tighten the cap clockwise.
5. Rotate the nozzle by hand to make sure the nozzle is engaged correctly.

Top nozzle

1. Check whether the nozzle holes are clogged by food particles.
2. If cleaning is needed, remove the top nozzle.
3. To remove the top nozzle, pull out the upper rack first, unfasten the nozzle cap by turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the 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.

CLEANING THE FILTER

1. Remove the lower rack first.

2. Rotate the filter handle counterclockwise to unfasten the filter compartment door.

3. Remove the filter door, and then the cylindrical micro filter underneath.

4. Remove any dirt or other remains from the micro filter and the filter door, and then rinse them under running water.

5. Re-install the cylindrical micro filter, and then the fillter door.

6. Rotate the filter door handle clockwise to lock the filter door.

Once a month, clean the filter for better washing performance.

If the filter door does not close properly, cleaning performance will decrease.

CLEANING THE DRAIN PUMP

If the dishwasher fails to drain because the drain pump is clogged with foreign matter or there is an abnormal noise coming from the drain pump, you must unclog and clean the drain pump as instructed below.

1. Remove the lower rack.
2. See the "Cleaning the filter" section to remove the cylindrical micro filter.
3. Remove any moisture from the filter using a sponge.
4. Remove the drain-pump cover by pushing its handle in the arrow direction (1), and then pulling up (2).
5. Check the impeller to see if it's in good condition. Then, remove any foreign matter from the pump.
6. Reinsert the drain-pump cover into place, and then press down until you hear a clicking sound.

STORING YOUR DISHWASHER

• If you need to store your dishwasher for an extended period of time, fi rst 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.
