BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Hardness setting

This model has a water softener to soften hard water.

Please read these notes carefully for correct operation.

In order to provide satisfactory rinsing results, the dishwasher requires soft water, i.e., containing little or no lime, otherwise water stains will be left behind on the dishes and interior containers. If the tap water exceeds a certain level of hardness, it must be softened, i.e., decalcified. This is achieved by adding a special salt to the water softener inside the dishwasher. The required amount of salt is set up according to how hard your tap water is.

Step 1. Checking your water hardness level

■ Method 1

- Check the water hardness in your area.

(Your water supply management agency can help you with this.)

■ Method 2

- You can check water harness by using test kit included in the product.

① Immerse the test strip for 30 seconds (Not in running water!)

② Shake off liquid from the test kit, and then wait for 1 minute for checking the change of color.

③ Check the setting value applicable to the number of changed colors.

< Water hardness level >

1 °e = 14.25 mg/l CaCO
1 °f = 10 mg/l CaCO
1 °d = 10 mg/l CaO (=1,78 °f) (=1,25 °e)

Step 2. Setting up the softening system level (hardness level)

For effective washing performance, adjust the setting corresponding to the hardness level of water used in water supply. The water softener has 8 adjustment levels, and the dishwasher is programmed at the factory for a water hardness level of H00. You can check the default setting value and adjust it in the following manner:

1. Press Half Load and Power button simultaneously.
(Current setting value indicated.)

2. Press the Half Load button, and then set up your intended

value.(Scope of settingvalue : H00~H07)

3. Press the Delay Start button for saving the setting.

(The power turns off upon the saving.)

* The display may vary, depending on the model.

NOTE

• The ‘Salt Filling’ light turns on in the display if salt is not in the softening system.
• If the hardness setting is set to H0, no light turns on in case of no salt.

Step 3. Salt Filling (Hard water requires salt filling)

Salt filling must be made before starting the washing program. In case of insufficient salt, the ‘Salt Filling’ light turns on in the display, unless the Hardness level has been set to H0. (refer to page 15)

1) Remove the lower rack and remove the cap of the watersoftener placed in the left side of the bottom of the washing part by rotating it counterclockwise.

2) Before using your dishwasher for the first time, it is necessary to Pour 1.5kg of salt and 1 litre of water at the same time if intending to use the water softener system. Refer to page 15 for Hardness level settings. (Use a funnel when refilling salt)

3) Wipe off any spilled salt around the water softener.

4) Fasten the cap tightly. (Loosely fastened cap may cause rust due to salt spilled into the container.)

5) Run the Quick course without dishes.

WARNING

• Do not pour any detergent in the water softener. It may cause a malfunction.

NOTE

• Water softening salt can be purchased from salt distributors.

! Check point - Note for Fastening the Cap of the water softener.

• Seal the cap properly (by aligning it horizontally and turning it clockwise.)

<Wrong assembly>

<Normal assembly>

Step 4. Adding rinse aid

Rinse aid must not be added if dish washing tablets are used which contain a built in Rinse aid. Too much or too little rinse aid can inhibit the drying performance.

1) Press the lever on the top of the rinse aid compartment so thatthe flap opens.

2) Pour the rinse up to themaximum level indicator at thebottom.

3) Adjust the quantity of rinse by rotating the adjuster.

4) Close the cap after adjustment.

※Rinse level setting

• You can adjust the quantity of rinse from level 1 to level 6.
• The higher the level, the more rinse aid dispensed.
• If drying performance is not good, adjust the indicator to a higher level.

NOTE

• If, after washing, you notice cloudy spots, streaks or water marks on your glassware, you need to increase the setting level. If the glass is smeared or foam is present on the bottom, select a lower setting.

CAUTION

• If the rinse aid compartment flap is not closed properly, a large amount of rinse aid will release into the tub and cause washability problems.

NOTE

• Use only the detergent intended for dishwashers (Manual dishwashing detergent instead of ordinary detergent.)
• After completion of the wash program, check whether the detergent was completely washed out.

NOTE

Cautions for using tablet (2in1, 3in1) detergent

When using some dishwasher detergent tablets, they may become stuck in the dispenser due to their excessive size. If this occurs, the dispenser may remain closed causing poor wash results. Tablets can be placed onto the base of the wash tub next to the filter before starting the cycle.

Do not use liquid rinse aid if the detergent tablet contains a rinse aid agent. Otherwise, excessive foaming will occur and cause poor drying and streaking on dinnerware. If dry performance is not good or water stain remains, you need add an extra rinse.

WARNING

• Dishwasher detergent and rinse aid contain chemical components, like all other household detergent. So, they must be kept out of the reach of children.

5. Refilling

For maintaining the effective wash performance of the dishwasher, checking and refilling of rinse aid and salt should be made on a regular basis.

■ Checking the remaining rinse aid

1) Check the rinse aid indicator

< Black: Sufficient rinse aid / Clear: No rinse aid >

2) Check the rinse aid refilling lamp on the display.

■ Checking salt

After refilling the salt, a wash program should be operated without dishes, as any spilled salt inside the dishwasher may cause rust or damage to the dishwasher if left unwashed.

When the lamp is lit, it means the Salt Aid is almost empty. If necessary, refill the Salt Aid chamber as soon as possible.

When the lamp is lit, it means the rinse aid is almost empty. Refill the Rinse Aid chamber as soon as possible.

WARNING

• Do not add detergent or any other solution into the water softener housing other than salt. Doing so will cause the water softening system to malfunction.
  

6. Select the Programme

▶ Running time may vary according to the water temperature, water pressure and voltage.

▶ Running time doesn’t include Cool Dry - 60min.

Dual Intensity

This cycle washes the upper and lower racks at different spray intensities. The lower rack is washed with a strong spray for hard to clean items, while the upper rack is washed with a soft spray for more delicate items.

This provides optimum cleaning performance for mixed loads, including fine china and stemware.

Auto

During the Auto programme, the degree of soiling in the dishes is determined by the amount of clouding in the water.

According to the degree of soiling, the programme automatically adjusts the washing time and temperature.

As a result, the energy and water consumption is kept as low as possible.

The "F" on display means that the sensor is sensing the status of the dishwasher.

Eco

This program offers the most efficient energy and water consumption for a good washing performance on a moderately soiled load, but compromises the drying result as it uses very little energy.

Eco and Soft Spray program is the one to be used for a normally soiled load.

Quick & Dry

This programme offers good washing performance within 60 minutes.

To assist drying, we recommend to open the door partially when you see small amounts of wet streaks or drops after the cycle. Opening the door right after the cycle may set off the inbuilt High temperature alarm.

Quick

Is best used for lightly soiled recently used dishes and cutlery.

Auto Restart

If the dishwasher is turned off by a power failure, it will restart from the position it stopped at, and resume accordingly when you press the Power button again.

7. Drying

• For better drying performance, Cd (Cool Dry – 2 hours) program will be added after completion of all programs. (You are free to take dishes out in the Cd condition)
• Selection of ‘High Temperature + Rinse’ can help improve the drying performance.
• Plastic items will have a poorer drying performance than other items.
• To assist drying, we recommend that the door be partially opened after the program.

Washing problems

A wash problem may occur due to many factors, such as dishes arrangement, detergent, rinse aid, water softener, etc.

Noise Problems

A noise problem may occur due to poor arrangement of dishes or negligence in maintenance.

General Problems

Malfunctions and poor washing results can be the result of user errors or not reading the user instructions. So, often they can be solved with a simple check.

Symptom	Possible Causes	Solution
Bad smell inside the dishwasher	A burning-like smell, which is unique to any electric appliance, may be generated at the initial use of the dishwasher, but this smell will decrease when you use the dishwasher 5 ~ 10 times. Not using or cleaning the dishwasher for a long time may cause bad odors due to rotten food residues.	Clean the inside of the dishwasher. Run the wash course without dishes after placing a bowl containing white vinegar onto the upper rack. And then, open the door and allow to dry. These processes may help reduce odors.
Detergent is left in the detergent dispenser.	Unbalanced upper rack Detergent may not be dispensed because poor stacking of the dishes prevent automatic opening of the detergent dispenser.	Adjust the left/right height of the upper rack. Correctly arrange the dishes.
Unclosed cover of the detergent dispenser.	The cover may not be closed due to small particles. (coffee grain or fruit seed) clogged in both sides of the detergent dispenser.	Clean the surroundings of the detergent dispenser.
The dishwasher door is not closed well.	Placing any heavy objects on the dishwasher or an unbalanced dishwasher may cause the doors not to close properly.	Do not place any heavy objects on the dishwasher. Adjust the left/right height with the adjusting legs.
Upper rack is not properly pushed in.	If the position of the height adjuster on the left/right sides is incorrect, the upper rack may not be properly pushed in.	Readjust the height adjuster for the upper rack. Check whether any dishes are obstructing the upper racks sliding function.
It takes a long time for the wash cycle to complete.	If the temperature of supplied water is low, it takes longer for the dishwasher to heat the water in each part of the cycle.	if there is an option to connect to hot water, it is OK providing that the hot water temp does not exceed 65deg Celsius.

Symptom	Possible Causes	Solution
Damage to the inside of the dishwasher	Wrong arrangement of dishes may prevent rotation of the spray arms and cause damage.	Correctly arrange the dishes.
Buzzing sound. (High Temperature Alarm) ((BEEP))	The warning sound alerts if the inside of the dishwasher increases higher than specified temperature. (50℃~55℃)	open the door to allow the water to cool.
No power-on or automatic turn-off Or, power-on but no operation	Is the Plug properly inserted into the socket? Is any extension cord (power board) used? Is the circuit breaker off? Is there a home power failure?	Connect the power plug. Use an extension suitable for the product standards. Reset the circuit breaker. Check other appliances for power.
	If using an extension cord (power board) the dishwasher may automatically turn off despite power-on due to insufficient current capacity of the extension device during operation.	Use an extension suitable for the product standards.
	Is the dishwasher door closed? Is it on timer delay start.	Close the dishwasher door. Cancel the timer setting, or allow it to start as it was set to.
Water leaks outside the dishwasher.	The door may not be closed due to a titled dishwasher. In this case a water leak may occur. Wrong installation of drainage hose may cause water leak.

Check the connection water supply hose.

NOTE

SMARTDIAGNOSIS function is available only for the products with a SMARTDIAGNOSIS mark. If using a mobile phone with poor signal, the smart diagnosis function might not operate.

Using SMARTDIAGNOSISTM

• Only use this feature when instructed to do so by the call centre.

The transmission sounds similar to a fax machine, and so has no meaning except to the call centre.

• SMARTDIAGNOSIS™ can not be activated if the dishwasher does not power up. If this happens, then troubleshooting must be done without SMARTDIAGNOSIS™.

If you experience problems with your dishwasher, call the Customer information centre. Follow the call centre agent's instructions, and do the following steps when requested:

1. Press the Power button to turn on the dishwasher. Do not press any other buttons.

2. When instructed to do so by the call centre, place the mouthpiece of your phone very close to the Power button. (Max. 10mm)

3. Press and hold the Dual Intensity and Auto buttons for three seconds, while holding the phone mouthpiece to the icon or Power button.
4. Keep the phone in place until the tone transmission has finished.

This takes about 6 seconds, and the display will count down the time.

• For best results, do not move the phone while the tones are being transmitted.
• If the call centre agent is not able to get an accurate recording of the data, you may be asked to try again.
• Pressing the Power button during the transmission will shut off the SMARTDIAGNOSIS™. 5. Once the countdown is over and the tones have stopped, the machine will display END and turn off automatically after a few seconds.

Resume your conversation with the call centre agent, who will then be able to assist you using the information transmitted for analysis during the call to Customer information centre.

• Smart Diagnosis is a troubleshooting feature designed to assist, not replace, the traditional method of troubleshooting through service calls. The effectiveness of this feature depends upon various factors, including, but not limited to, the reception of the cellular phone being used for transmission, any external noise that may be present during the transmission, and the acoustics of the room where the machine is located. Accordingly, LG does not guarantee that Smart Diagnosis would accurately troubleshoot any given issue.

SPECIFICATION

Minimum and maximum permissible water feed pressures are necessary for the correct operation of the appliance.
