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.

Upper rack

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 in. (20 cm) in diameter.

DW80K7050, DW80K5050 Series

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.

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.

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 StormWashTM zone

You can load large items such as pots and pans into the

StormWashTM Zone - identifi ed by red guide lines - In the lower rack for more effective cleaning. When you select the StormWashTM option, an additional, powerful jet is activated and directed at items in the StormWashTM 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 suffi ciently 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

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 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 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.

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 your dishwasher

USING DETERGENT

Filling the detergent dispenser

1. Open the detergent dispenser fl ap by pushing the detergent dispenser release catch.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CLEANING THE FILTERS (DW80K7050 SERIES)

1. Turn off the dishwasher.

2. Rotate the filter insert counterclockwise to unfasten and then detach the filter insert.

3. Remove the fine filter (flat, rectangular).

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

5. Reassemble the filters in the reverse order of the dissasembly, replace the filter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.

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.

2. If cleaning is needed, remove the nozzle.
3. To remove the nozzle, pull out the upper rack first, 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
