For this reason, use the hot water supply only. It is also important
that the dishwasher is loaded according to instructions for effec-
tive cleaning. When loading the dishwasher, make sure that in-
soluble items such as bones, toothpicks, and pieces of paper have

been removed.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When loading the dishwasher, observe the following general
guidelines:

1. Place items with deep dish bottoms at an angle to help water
run off and speed the drying process.

2. Remove solid, burned-on scraps from dishes prior to loading
in the dishwasher.

3. Only load items that are dishwasher-safe.

LARGE CAPACOTY

HYBRID DRYING SYSTEM

LG dishwashers allow

you to load very large

items in both the upper
and lower racks. The

tall tub provides extra
overall capacity and the

clearance to accommo-
date large dishes. Extra

large items (max. 14 in.)
may be loaded in the
lower rack by raising the
upper rack.

This system effectively
dries dishes without the

use of a heating element

that would increase en-
ergy consumption.

STEAM WASHING

/

not available on all models)

VARIABLE SPRAY SYSTEM

Steam technology pro-
vides better cleaning
performance than regu-
lar wash systems. Steam
is the most energy ef-
ficient gentle care for

your finest china and

stemware.

Because the water spray
alternates between the

upper and lower racks,
all of the power from

the motor is directed
to one rack at a time.

This concentrates all the

cleaning power of the
motor on each rack in

turn.

LIGHT TOUCH BUTTONS

The light touch buttons
on the control panel
make selections easy

hard, non-soluble residue. Pull each rack out and load the

dishes as described in this manual.

2. MEASURETHE DETERGENT

Using the guidelines in this manual, fill the detergent cup
with the recommended amount of detergent and close the

also be filled with detergent.

3. TURN ONTHE DISHWASHER

To turn on the display panel, press the POWER button.

CHECKTHE RINSE AID

The Rinse Aid indicator light will illuminate if the level of rinse

aid in the dishwasher is low. Add rinse aid if the level is Iowto
maintain the effectiveness of the dry cycle.

5. SELECTTHE CYCLE AND OPTIONS

Select the cycle and options that best fit the load by referring
to the Cycle Selection Chart. The display will show the esti-
mated time for the cycle and options selected.

6. CLOSE THE DOOR

A CAUTION

Empty the lower rack first and then the upper rack. This will avoid

water dripping from the upper rack onto dishes in the lower rack.

A WARNING

In general, it is not advisable to open the door while the dish-

washer is in operation. If the door is opened, a safety device stops
the dishwasher. Care should be taken when opening the door im-

mediately following the cycle, as steam may escape.

AUTO-OFF

The dishwasher will automatically turn offifa cycle is not selected
or if the door is not closed within four minutes.

The dishwasher will start automatically, after a slight delay,

when the door is closed and latched. During the cycle, the
display will indicate the estimated time remaining for the
cycle and options selected. If the door is opened during the
cycle, the dishwasher will stop. When the door is closed, the
cycle will resume from the point where it was stopped.

ENDOF CYCLE

When the cycle is complete, a chime will sound and the dis-
play will show "END." After a short time, the display and con-
trols will shut off for safety and energy conservation.

LOADING THE LOWER RACK

A CAUTION

NON-DISHWASHER SAFE ITEMS

The combination of high water temperature and dishwasher
detergents may damage certain items. LG does not recommend

washing the following items in the dishwasher:

Hand painted silver or gold leaf dishes

Wood or bone handled utensils

Iron or other rust prone utensils
Plastic items that are not dishwasher safe

When in doubt, check the manufacturers' recommendations.

OPERATINGiNSTRUCTiONS15

The extra tall tub allows loading of dishes, pans, or other utensils

up to 14inches high.

The lower rack is recommended for dinner plates, soup bowls,
dishes, pots, pans, lids, and grill trays. Plates should be positioned

vertically and facing the center of the rack. Pots, pans, and large

bowls must be turned so that the inside faces downward. The sil-

verware basket may be used in either the lower or upper rack.

SUGGESTED LOADING PATTERN

The lower rack should not be used for small items such as cups,

wine glasses, or small plates. These items should be loaded in the
upper rack.

For models with steam, load heavily soiled or stained dishes in the
front left side of the lower rack with the dirty side facing down.

This is the area that the stream enters the dishwasher. The use of

hot steam maximizes the dishwasher's cleaning performance.

ADDITIONAL LOADING PATTERN

RACK LOADING TIPS

* Load plates, soup bowls etc. between the tines.
* Load cookie sheets, cake pans and other large items on the

sides or back of the rack. Loading these items in the front of
the dishwasher can prevent the water spray from reaching the
detergent dispenser.

* Make sure that pot handles and other large items do not stop

the rotation of the spray arms.

x@ NOTE

Make sure that large items do not interfere with the

rotation of the spray arms, and do not prevent the
detergent dispenser from opening.

LOADING THE SILVERWARE BASKET

The silverware basket has separators to avoid scratching and tar-

nishing of delicate silverware. The basket can be separated into

three separate baskets that can be used individually in both the

upper and lower racks. Unlock the tabs above the left and right

sides to separate.

A WARNING

Becareful when loading and unloading sharp items. Load sharp
knives with the handles up to reduce the riskof personal injury.

OPERATING iNSTRUCTiONS 17

SILVERWARE LOADING TIPS:

• For best cleaning results, use the top separators in the basket
when loading silverware. The separators will prevent nesting

of silverware.

• Load sharp items, such as knives, pointing down.

• When unloading the dishwasher, it is best to start with the sil-
verware basket. Doing so will prevent water droplets from fall-

ing on your silverware from the upper rack.

ADDING DETERGENT TO THE DISPENSER

OPERATINGiNSTRUCTiONS21

Only use detergent intended for automatic dishwashers.
Detergent must be put into the detergent compartment be-

fore starting any cycle, except the Rinse Only cycle.

Use less detergent if the dishes are only lightly soiled. Using ex-
cess detergent can leave a film on dishes and in the dishwasher
resulting in poor wash performance.

The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load

size, and soil level of dishes.

-@ NOTE

Remove the label on the dispenser prior to running

If the lid isclosed, pressthe lever on the bottom side of
the lid to open the dispenser,

NOTE

If a prewash is desired, fill the recessed prewash com-
partment area in the lid with detergent,

F@ NOTE

Too much detergent can leave a film on dishes and in the

dishwasher, resulting in poor wash performance.
Do not use detergent tablets for shorter wash cycles. The
tablet may not dissolve completely, causing detergent
residue on dishes and inefficient cleaning.

Add dish washing detergent to the main wash compart-
ment until the level is between the lines marked 20 and

30. Fill to the 30 line for hard water or heavily soiled
loads. Fill to the 20 line for soft water or lightly soiled

loads.

Close the lid firmly until it clicks.

A CAUTION

DETERGENT INFORMATION

Use only detergent intended for automatic dishwashers. Incorrect
detergent may cause the dishwasher to fill with suds during op-
eration. Excess sudsing may reduce wash performance and may

cause the dishwasher to leak. DO NOT use hand dish washing de-
tergent in this dishwasher.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

Clean the interior of your dishwasher periodically
with a soft, damp cloth or sponge to remove food

and dirt particles.
To remove white spots and odor from inside the dish-

washer, run an empty cycle with detergent or run an
empty cycle with one cup of white vinegar in a dish-

washer safe glass or bowl placed on the upper rack.
(Vinegar is an acid and with constant use it could

damage your appliance.)

CLEANING THE LOWER SPRAY ARM

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

In most cases, the exterior of your dishwasher can be
cleaned with a soft damp cloth or sponge, then dried with

a soft cloth. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior,
a stainless steel cleaner is recommended.

Make sure that the water jet holes are not blocked by food

particles.

When cleaning is necessary, remove the lower spray arm by

pulling up.
After cleaning the lower spray arm, replace it by pushing
down until it clips into place. Be sure that the spray arm is
able to turn freely.

CLEANING THE UPPER SPRAY ARM

Pull the upper rack forward. Make sure that the
water jet holes are not blocked by food particles.

When cleaning is necessary, remove the upper
spray arm by turning the nut on the bottom of
the spray arm 1/8 turn counterclockwise and
pulling down.

After cleaning the upper spray arm, press it

up into place. Turn the nut 1/8 turn clock-

wise to make sure that the nut locks back
into place.

CLEANING THE TOP SPRAY ARM

CARE&CLEANING25

Make sure that the water jet holes are not blocked
by food particles. When cleaning is necessary, use
a screwdriver to release the retainer clip from the
bracket that holds the top spray arm assembly to the

tub.

Pull the spray arm out.

After cleaning the top spray arm, replace it. Slide it back

into place and make sure the retainer clip engages.

SEASONAL MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

If you will be absent for an extended period of time during warmer months, it is recommended that you close the water valve and unplug

the power cord, or turn off the circuit breaker. Clean the filter, tub and dispenser to prevent odors.

If you will be absent for an extended period of time during colder months, and there is a possibility of freezing temperatures, it is recom-
mended that you winterize the water supply lines and the dishwasher itselfi Winterization must be performed by experienced service

personnel.

26 FAQS

FAQs

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS

Is a rinse aid required to be used?

Rinse aid is strongly recommended to enhance the drying perfor-
mance of the dishwasher. In order to be more energy efficient, the
hybrid drying system does not utilize a heating element in order
to assist in drying, so a rinse aid plays an integral role in the drying
process. Ifa rinse aid is not used, water may remain on the dishes
and the tub. Rinse aid will help to ensure that the majority of the

water has been sheeted off of the dishes at the end of the rinse
and that the load is ready for the dry cycle.

What can be done if my dishes have a cloudy, white
film on them after a wash?

The cloudy film is usually caused by minerals in the water react-

ing with the dishwasher detergent. First, be certain not to use too
much detergent. Refer to the owner's manual for recommended
detergent amounts by cycle. Add an Extra Rinse to the cycle, or
run a Heavy cycle. LG Dishwashers use less water than traditional
dishwashers, so adding an Extra Rinse will aid in rinsing the film
away. If the water supply is hard, it may be necessary to add a per-

formance booster that addresses the hard water condition.

What is the Sanitary Rinse and how is it activated?

The Sanitary Rinse will increase the heated rinse to approximately

161°F (72°C). The normal heated rinse temperature will vary from
cycle to cycle.

What steps can I take to improve drying results?

Drying performance is directly affected by the amount of heat
that remains in the tub after the heated rinse is performed. If your
dishwasher is far away from your home's hot water heater, it may
be necessary to run the hot water tap in the sink before starting a
wash cycle, to ensure that cool water is purged from the hot water
lines. This will ensure your dishwasher has a consistent supply of
hot water from start to finish. Using the Sanitary Rinse setting will
also aid in keeping the inner drum temperature and dishes hotter
before drying begins.

LG dishwashers are designed to be used in conjunction with a
rinse aid. Using a rinse aid will maximize the amount of water that
has already been sheeted away from the dishes before the dry
cycle begins. Ira rinse aid is used and the performance still needs a
boost, adjust the amount of rinse aid used by the indicator on the
rinse aid cap. 4 is the default setting, but if necessary, set the level

to 5 so more rinse aid will be used.
Allow the dishwasher to completely finish the dry cycle before

opening the door. If the door is opened mid dry cycle, the heat
that is necessary for the hybrid dry system to work will escape. This
will cause all of the dishes inside to remain wet once the cycle fin-

ishes.

What is the hybrid drying system?

The dishwasher does not rely on a heating element for the drying

process; instead, it relies on the heat that is retained by the dishes

and the tub during the wash and rinse cycles to turn the moisture

in the tub into humidity. Warm, moist air in the dishwasher is then
pulled into a condensing duct in the door by a fan. The air then

cools, which causes the humidity to condense. Room tempera-
ture air is also drawn into the duct to help the air cool down faster.
When this moisture condenses into a liquid, it is drained out.

F@ NOTE

Rinse aid is required to enhance the drying perfor-

mance. If no rinse aid is used, water may remain on

the dishes and the tub,

Why is there a whistling sound?

It is important to determine how long the noise occurs and when

it happens (what part of the cycle). When water is drawn into the

dishwasher, a whistling noise can be heard. This is normal. If the
water pressure is too high, it will be louder so it may be necessary
to adjust the water valve to lower the pressure if the noise is too

loud.

What is Dual Control?

Dual Control is an option that can be utilized during wash cycles.
This option enables you to fully customize the wash cycle inten-

sity for the upper and lower racks, independently, in the same

load. For example, by selecting a soft spray for the upper rack and

strong spray for the lower rack, you can wash delicate stemware

in the upper rack while washing pots and pans in the lower rack.

What kind of dishes can be placed in the

dishwasher?

Ensure that the dishes you place in the dishwasher are dishwasher

safe. Plastic dishware will not dry as effectively as glass and met-
al dishware. Plastic items do not retain heat as well as glass and

metal dishware. Plastic cups and dishes may require some hand

drying before being put away at the end of the cycle.

Can I perform a drain only cycle?

The dishwasher does not have a drain only function; however, the

dishwasher will drain on its own for the first 45 seconds of a new

cycle. To drain standing water, select a wash cycle and let it run
for only 45 seconds. Then, turn the unit off and let it reset. Repeat
as necessary.

FAQS 27

How long does the dean indicator stay lit after the
cycle is complete?

The clean light indicator on the dishwasher will stay lit for 4 min-
utes before turning off. You can, however, program the dishwash-

er so that the clean light stays on until the dishwasher door opens.

Why does my dishwasher continuously beep if
I open the door during a cycle or right after the

cycle has finished?

This is normal. The dishwasher is letting you know that the interior
temperatures of the unit are hot and to use caution when placing
your hands inside. Once the unit has cooled down, the beeping
will stop.

PRODUCT FEATURES AND
OPERATION

What is the benefit of steam?

Steam allows for thorough cleaning of baked on foods while us-
ing lesswater than other power scrub methods. Steam also allows

for enhanced cleaning performance when cleaning fine china and

stemware items on a delicate cycle. Stream particles are smaller

and more active so their penetrating power is more effective.

Steam also increases the interior temperature of the dishwasher,
which helps in melting oily or waxy substances, like lipstick along
the rim of a glass.

What is Child Lock and how is it activated?

Child Lock is a feature that will prevent the controls from being

changed during the cycle. It does not prevent the door from be-

ing opened or the unit from being powered off. To activate or de-
activate, press the Spray and Rinse buttons (LDS5774: Half Load

and Delay Start buttons) simultaneously for 3 seconds.

Why is "PF" showing up on the display?

PF is not an error code indicating a malfunction. PF indicates that
there was a power failure. This function protects the dishwasher

in the event that the power goes out or the power to the unit is

disrupted. When power is returned and a button is pushed, this
will display for 10 seconds and then go away.

INSTALLATION

What size is the 90 ° elbow?

The 90° elbow should have a 3/8" NPT on the end that connects
to the dishwasher.

Can I add an extension to the drain hose?

No, an extension cannot be added.
