WARNING	For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk	of
	fi re or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or
	loss of life.
Basic Safety Instructions
WARNING
	To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this
	appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following.

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.

WARNING	To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this
	appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following.

User-Maintenance Instructions

WARNING Child Safety

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.

WARNING 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.

Disposal Instructions

Properly dispose of the box, packaging, plastic bags, and extruded polystyrene.

Children playing with packing material and plastic bags could be injured or suffocate.

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.

U SING YOUR DISHWASHER

Before using the dishwasher, please read Important Safety Instructions.

Water supply temperature should be 120 (49 ) for better washing and reasonable cycle time. For this reason, use hot water faucet only.

It is also important that the dishwasher is loaded according to instructions for the effective cleaning. When loading your dishwasher, make sure that insoluble items such as bones, toothpicks and pieces of paper have been removed.

When loading the dishwasher, observe the following general guidelines;

1.Deep based items should be placed at an angle to help water run off and dry properly.

2.Remove solid, burnt-on scraps 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

This lower rack allows max. 14 in. plates, pans or any utensils which mean the size of rack is bigger and is higher than industry standard thanks to super big tub capacity.

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 upside down.

Basically the lower rack is not meant to load small items like cups, wine glasses or small plates. These items should be loaded on the upper rack for proper distribution.

12 place setting, lower rack

Cutlery Basket

Racks are designed to hold even the most delicate items securely in place as well as tall items. In addition, our extra cutlery and knife rack has separators to avoid scratching and tarnishing of your delicate cutlery. Basket can be divided into three separate baskets which can be used on both the upper and lower levels. If you only have a small load of cutlery, the baskets can be removed leaving extra space for other plates.

Height Adjustable Upper Rack for 14 in. loading (on some models)

LG dishwasher proudly introduces the ability to load 14 in. dishes. An upper rack that moves up and down lets you put tall and oversized items on it. LG dishwashers adjust enough to allow 14 in. dinner plates on the lower and 12 in. plates on the upper rack.

To raise the rack

Pull the rack upward holding the middle location of the upper rack ( marked position) until the rack locks.

To lower the rack

Pull the two levers on the left and right sides of the rack until rack is level for smooth operation. When you pull the levers upward, hold the middle location of the upper rack.

( marked position).

Half Loading Option

In case 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 either rack separately by selecting the half load option. This will bring about a savings in hot water, electricity 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.Pull the upper rack upward gently from slides.
