and by residents in establishments such as:
• Hostels and guest houses.
It must only be used as an appliance as specied in this user manual, for cleaning domestic
crockery and cutlery. Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper
use or operation.
Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.
Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or
corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed,
or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or
inhaled.
Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily, as you could trip over it.
Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be
damaged, and you could get injured.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use
washing-up liquid.
Do not use any strong acid cleaning agent.
Do not ll the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. This will cause serious
damage to the reservoir.
Inadvertently lling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent
will damage the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of
dishwasher salt before lling the salt reservoir.
Please only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation, as other salts may
contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the softener.
In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model), cutlery is cleaned and dried
more if placed in efciently the basket with the handles downwards. However, to avoid the
risk of injury, place knives and forks etc. with the handles upwards.

Instructions for installing your dishwasher
Before setting up the appliance, check it for any externally visible damage. Under no
circumstances should you use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance could be
dangerous.
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply through a suitable
switched socket. The electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is
installed so that it can be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time. (Refer to
the “Dishwasher at a glance” section on page 40.)
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Danger of overheating and re
risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which
are sometimes generated by a hob could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason it
should not be installed next to open res or other appliances which give off heat, such as
heaters etc.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has been fully installed and any
adjustment has been made to the door springs.
Before connecting the appliance, check that the connection data on the data plate (voltage
and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualied
electrician.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete
between it and an effective grounding system. It is most important that this basic safety
requirement is present and regularly tested and where there is any doubt the electrical
system in the house should be checked by a qualied electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate grounding
system (for example electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an
extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (for example
danger of overheating).
This appliance may only be installed in mobile installations such as ships if a risk
assessment of the installation has been carried out by a suitably qualied engineer.

Salt storage
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. Recommended
using soft water for better results. Hard water contains impurities that can reduce the
washing performance. You will need to soften the water if the supplied water is harder
than 1.0 mmol/l (6 °d - German scale).
• To soften the water, you need dishwasher-specic salt and conguration of the water
hardness level according to your area. For more information about the water hardness
level in your area, contact your local water department.
• If the hardness level of the supplied water supply is unsteady, set the dishwasher to
the highest measurement. For example, if the water hardness reading ranges from
6.7 mmol/l to 9.0 mmol/l, set the dishwasher to 9.0 mmol/l.
• The dishwasher’s default water hardness level is 3 (2.1-3.0 mmol/l). If this setting
matches the water hardness level in your area, you do not need to change it.
Adjusting salt consumption

Energy, water saving tip
• ECO programme is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware, that for this use, it is
the most efcient programme in terms of its combined energy and water consumption,
and that it is used to assess compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation (COMMISSION
REGULATION (EU) 2019/2022).
• Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy
consumption and is not recommended.
Use a knife, etc. to remove only large bits of food before loading.
• Water supplied can be up to 60 °C, and less power is consumed when hot water is
connected.
• It’s better to ll the basket if possible but without overloading.
• Load the tableware to the baskets properly to prevent damages and poor performance.
- Overloading and overlapping tableware may reduce the cleaning and drying
performance.
Load your tableware as recommended.
- Load the tableware with concave bottom at an angle so that water can run off.
- Arrange the tableware so they do not interfere with the nozzles and the detergent
dispenser.
It can make the cleaning and drying performance better, and prevent the noise of
nozzle bumping the tableware.
- To prevent injury from the knives and other utensils with sharp points, it must be
loaded in the basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position.
• To save water and energy, use the ECO cycle. ECO is the most efcient program when
washing normally soiled items.
• Use an appropriate amount of detergent and rinse according to the manufacturer’s
guidelines.
• Dishwasher use saves water compared to ordinary washing by hand.
• Ecodesign information can be found by going to www.samsung.com/support.
