Using your dishwasher

Basic use of racks

Angle of the plate supports

In the Lower rack, you can easily fold down the fold-down tines to make room for large items such as pots and pans in the Storm Wash+ area. Remove the rack from the dishwasher, and then fold down the tines one at a time. See the illustration below.

In the Upper rack, you can adjust the angle of the tines to two 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.

Height adjustment

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.

To raise the upper rack

Pull the upper rack upwards. The adjustable handle will latch, and the upper rack will rise.

To lower the upper rack

Hold both the adjustable handles located at the left and right sides of the upper rack, and then evenly press down.

Loading dishes

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 Storm Wash+ Area

For more effective cleaning, load large items into the Storm Wash+ area on the left side of the lower rack (Red zone). When you select Storm Wash+, the dishwasher supplies additional power to reinforce the water jet in the Storm Wash+ area. Make sure pot handles and other items do not interfere with the rotation of the nozzles.

CAUTION

• Take caution not to clog the hot air outlet of SmartDry in the right corner of the lower basket. Clogged outlet will not facilitate heat circulation.
• Keep plastic dishes away from the hot air outlet of SmartDry as they are vulnerable to heat.

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 glass support

The glass support is especially suited for wine glasses. Hang wine glasses onto the pegs of the glass support. Fold the glass support back when it is not being used.

Loading the 3rd RackTM

The cutlery rack is best suited for flatware and cooking or serving utensils. Use it with the spoon stands in the lower basket. You can load cutlery and utensils in the 3rd rack or the spoon stands in the lower basket.

Removing the Cutlery Rack

The entire cutlery rack can be removed if more space is needed on the upper rack for larger items. (See the “To remove the 3rd Rack” section in full user manual.)

Loading 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. See the illustrations below. You can use the cutlery rack with the cover open. Refer to the illustration on the left.

Detergent guidelines

All dishwasher cycles require detergent in the detergent compartment. Apply detergent as appropriate for the selected cycle to ensure best performance.

To fill the detergent dispenser

1. Gently press the dispenser flap to unlock, and then slide it open. Note that the dispenser flap opens at the end of each cycle.

2. Apply the recommended amount of detergent to the main compartment.

3. Close the flap, and then press down to lock.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid improves the drying performance of the dishwasher. When the Rinse Refill indicator lights up on the control panel, refill with rinse aid. Only use liquid rinse aid. Powdered rinse aid will clog the compartment opening and cause the dishwasher to malfunction.

1. Pull up the cap of the rinse compartment to open.

2. Fill the compartment with rinse aid as specified by the rinse aid manufacturer.

NOTE For more information on setting the rinse aid amount, refer full user manual at samsung.com website.

3. Press down the circle area of the cap to close.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Keep the dishwasher clean to improve performance, reduce unnecessary repairs, and lengthen its lifecycle.

Exterior

Clean spills on the surface of the dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft, damp cloth on the control panel to gently wipe away spills and dust.

CAUTION

• Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, alcohol, or other chemical substances. These materials may discolour the surface of the dishwasher and cause stains.
• The dishwasher has electric parts inside. Do not sprinkle water directly onto the dishwasher. Protect electrical components from coming in contact with water.
• For a stainless-steel door panel, clean using a stainless steel cleaner for home appliances and a clean, soft cloth.

Interior

Clean the interior of the dishwasher on a regular basis to remove any dirt or food particles. Wipe inside the dishwasher and inside the door with a wet dishcloth. To maintain optimum cleanliness, we recommend running the Self Clean cycle periodically with the dishwasher empty.

To keep the cutlery pad clean, turn it over after each use. To remove white spots and odors from the cutlery pad, run the Self Clean cycle with the dishwasher empty and no detergent until the cutlery pad flushes. Then, stop the cycle and put an 8-ounce cup of white vinegar into the lower basket. Close the door, and then resume the cycle.

Use a damp cloth to remove lime scale or grease deposits inside the dishwasher. Alternatively, apply some detergent, and then run an empty cycle using the highest rinse temperature.

Filter

We recommend cleaning the filter every month.

1. Open the door, and then remove the lower rack.

2. Turn the filter handle counterclockwise to unlock the filter cover.

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

4. Remove any dirt and impurities from the micro filter and the filter cover.

5. Rinse them with running water, and then dry well.

6. Reinsert the filter, and then the filter cover.

7. Turn the filter handle clockwise to lock.
