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 you provide:

• An individual branch circuit with a 120 V, 60 Hz, 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.

Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes

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.

Using your dishwasher

BASIC GUIDELINES

1. Open the door and load your dishes (see page 14).

- Place dishes into the upper and lower racks, unless you have selected Lower Rack.

- Remove any food remains from the dishes before placing them in the rack(s).

- After placing the dishes into the racks, rotate the nozzles by hand to check whether any of the dishes will interfere with them.

- Make sure the dishes will not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

2. Add detergent to the dispenser (see page ).

- Make sure to use only automatic dishwasher detergent and rinse aid.

- Refer to “Using detergent” on page for instructions explaining how to add detergent and rinse aid.

3. Press the Power button.

- When you press the Power button, the entire display turns on and off, and then the indicator of the most recently finished cycle lights up.

- If "Low Rinse" ( ) is illuminated, you should refill the rinse aid dispenser to improve washing and drying performance.

4. Select an appropriate cleaning cycle depending on the soil level of the dishes. (See pages 9 and 2 .)

- Press the appropriate cycle button.

- When you press a cycle button, the cycle indicator lights up.

5. Press the Start button, and then close the door within 3 seconds.

- The dishwasher will start draining after a few seconds, and then start the selected cycle.

- Make sure to close the door firmly. If the door is not closed properly, the selected cycle will not start automatically.

6. When the wash cycle is completed.

- The light illuminates and the dishwasher sounds a chime.

- The dishwasher powers off automatically.

- 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 inside the dishwasher.

- If the door is opened while the dishwasher is running, a safety mechanism is activated and stops the cycle.

- To resume operation, press the Start button, and then close the door within 3 seconds.

- Adding dishes several minutes after the dishwasher starts operating may affect its performance.

- If you open the door while the dishwasher is running at high temperature, it will drain the hot water automatically to protect you from scalding

Delay start

When you select the Delay Start option, your dishwasher will:

• Start draining to remove remaining water at once (pre-drain). Your dishwasher will operate the selected cycle when the delay time expires.

When using the dishwasher, try to arrange the dishes properly as described on page 14 to 16.

• 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: 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 (90 ): °F °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 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.

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 suff iciently so you can load it without striking the counter above.

USING THE 3RD RACK

- The cutler rack is best for flatware and cooking or serving utensils. Use the cutlery rack to organize flatware or utensils.

- For best results, place heavily soiled items in the standard cutlery basket.

* NOTE: The cutlery rack can be removed if you need more space on the upper rack to clean larger items.

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 below.

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 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 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 down to the closed position 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.

The numbers inside the dispenser refer to grams.

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.

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

CLEANING THE FILTERS

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 fil ter, and then rinse under running water.

5. Reassemble the f ilter in the reverse order of disassembly, re-insert the f ilter insert, and then rotate clockwise as shown until close .

If the fil ter insert is not closed properly, its performance will be decreased.

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.

Middle nozzle

1. Pull the upper rack towards the front and remove it.

2. Check whether the nozzle holes are clogged by food particles.

3. If cleaning is needed, remove the nozzle.

4. To remove the nozzle, unfasten and remove the nut, and then remove the nozzle.

5. Clean the nozzle, re-insert it, and fasten the nut.

6. When fastening the nut, turn it firmly by hand.

7. Check whether the nozzle is engaged correctly by rotating it by hand.

Upper nozzle

1. Check whether the nozzle holes are clogged by food particles.

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

If you need to store your dishwasher for an extended period of time, first 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.
