If you raise the upper rack, you can load large dishes (Max. 14 in.) in the lower
rack. The tall tub provides the clearance to handle large dishes as well as
overall large capacity. LG dishwashers let you load very large items in the
upper and lower racks.
The new Slim Direct Motor
TM
is inverter-controlled. Wash power is controlled
based on program selection. It also offers high energy efficiency to minimize
energy use.
This is a drying solution to mix cool and dry air from outside of the dishwasher
and hot and humid air from inside of the dishwasher. It is safer than the
system of venting hot and humid air to the outside of the dishwasher.
Moreover, this is an optimized drying system that ensures less energy than
heated dry system and better drying performance than condensing system.
Because the water spray is alternated between the upper and lower
racks, all the power from the motor is directed to only one rack at a time which
allows superior performance and reduced consumption of water and
electricity.
For best wash results, the self-cleaning filter system continuously cleans the
water as it circulates. Your LG dishwasher has a self-cleaning filter and a
chopper that grinds food into small particles before it goes down the drain.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
a) Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
b) Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
c) Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out
of the reach of children.
d) When loading items to be washed:
1) locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and
2) load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
e) Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic
items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Note : This statement may be omitted for an appliance that employs a heating element that is
located or guarded such that melted plastic items are not likely to contact it.
f) Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
g) Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
h) Do not tamper with the controls.
i) Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
j) To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
k) Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot-water system has not
been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot-water faucets and let the
water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the
gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
l) Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or
discarding it.

Child Safety
Concerning the Power Cord
Most appliances should be connected to a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers
only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this
owner's manual to be certain. Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall
outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous.
Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by
an authorized service person. Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being
twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets,
and the point where the cord exits the appliance. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or
fire.
�Controls may be locked using CHILD LOCK mode to prevent settings from being changed by children.
�Keep children away from detergents and rinse-aids. Store chemicals properly and safely .
�Do not allow children to operate the dishwasher.
�Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
When the product has
reached the end of its
useful life and is to be
discarded, remove the door,
cut the power cord and
disable the control panel.
Children could climb into the
tub and become trapped and
suffocate. Attempts to reuse
the product could cause injury
or property damage.
Properly dispose of the
box, packaging, plastic
bags, and extruded
polystyrene.
Children playing with packing
material and plastic bags
could be injured or suffocate.

USING YOUR DISHWASHER
Before using the dishwasher, please
read the Important Safety Instructions.
Water supply temperature should be a minimum
of 120 (49) for better washing and
reasonable cycle time.
For this reason, use hot water supply only.
It is also important that the dishwasher be loaded
according to instructions for effective cleaning.
When loading your dishwasher, be sure to scrape
off large quantities of food and remove non-food
items such as paper, bones, toothpicks, etc.
1. Items with deep bottoms, like some coffee
cups, should be placed at an angle to help water
run off for better washing and drying.
2. Remove solid, burnt-on food from dishes prior
to loading in the dishwasher.
3.Load only items which are dishwasher safe.
NOTE Please avoid utensils that are non-heat
resistant, metal decorated, etc.
Loading the Lower Rack
The extra tall tub allows loading of dishes, pans
or other utensils that are up to 14 inches in size.
NOTE Do not obstruct the rotation of the spray
arms. Make sure large items do not prevent
the detergent dispenser from opening.
The lower rack is best loaded with dinner plates,
soup bowls, dishes, pots, pans, lids and even a
grill tray. Plates should be positioned upright and
facing the center of the rack. Pots, pans, and
large dishes must be turned so that the inside is
facing downward.
Basically, the lower rack is not designed to handle
small items like cups, wine glasses, or small
plates. These items should be loaded on the
upper rack for proper cleaning and to avoid
damage. Upper rack tines are designed to hold
even the most delicate items securely in place
including tall items.
WARNING
Use caution when loading and
unloading sharp items. Load knives with
the handles up in order to reduce the
risk of injury .

Removable Tines
If you need to wash large items, you can remove
the tines from the lower rack.
Adjustable angular tines
The plate supports in the lower and upper racks
can be folded down. Based on the size and
shape of the dishes, you can adjust the angle of
the tines to five different positions.
NOTE
Use caution when adjusting angular tines and do not
apply excessive force.
Loading the Upper Rack
The upper rack is best loaded with more delicate
items, small plates, cutlery basket, cups, glasses,
and dishwasher safe plastic items. Plates should
be positioned upwards with the plate bottom
facing the front of the rack. Cups, glasses, and
bowls must be positioned upside down. Extra
cups or cooking utensils can be laid on the folddown cup racks which may also provide support
for long stem glasses. Take care not to obstruct
the rotation of the spray arms above and below
the upper rack.
Hard Stained Dish Loading
If you want to wash hard stained dish, load the
dish in front of the steam nozzle. The steam
nozzle can easily remove hard stain on the dish
with hot steam.
NOTE
Do not load thermally weak items of Plastic, Crystal,
and Gold rimed in front of the steam nozzle.

Height Adjustable Upper Rack
The upper rack adjusts up and down to let you put
tall and oversized items on it. With the upper rack
in the lower position, dishes up to 12 inches can
be loaded. If the cutlery rack is removed, then
dishes as large as 12 inches can be loaded.
Raising the upper rack to the higher position will
allow plates and other items as large as 14 inches
to be washed on the lower rack.
To raise the rack
Hold the rack in the middle of each side to
support the weight of the rack, then lift the lever
on each side with a finger to release the rack and
then lower it gently.

Half Load Option
In the event that you do not have enough dishes for
a full load, you can simply load dishes in the upper
rack or in the lower rack only . You can then wash
that rack separately by selecting the half load option.
This will save water, energy and time.
Removing the Upper Rack
The upper rack can be removed to make more room
in the lower rack.
To remove the upper rack
1. Pull the upper rack out until it stops.
2. Squeeze the tab of the retainer at the end of each
side rail toward the center of the rack, then pull the
retainer out of the rail.
Be careful not to allow the upper rack to fall off the
rails while removing the retainers.
