ENGLISH

This manual contains very important information regarding the installation, use, and maintenance of your dishwasher. The manufacturer cannot be responsible for injuries or damage caused by failure to follow these safety and caution instructions.

• Read all instructions carefully before using the dishwasher.

• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

• Only use detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a

dishwasher. Keep all dishwasher detergents and additives out of the reach of children.

• This appliance is not intended for use by young children.

BEFORE USING THE DISHWASHER

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

ENGLISH

Before using the dishwasher, please read the Important Safety Instructions.

Water supply temperature should be a minimum of 120 °F (49 °C) for better washing and reasonable cycle time.

For this reason, use the hot water supply only. It is also important that the dishwasher is loaded according to instructions for eective cleaning. When loading the dishwasher, make sure that insoluble 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 o 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.

NOTE

Do not load utensils that are not heat-resistant, have decorative metal trim, etc.

LARGE CAPACITY

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

This system eectively dries dishes without the use of a heating element that would increase energy consumption.

STEAM WASHING (not available on all models)

Steam technology provides better cleaning performance than regular wash systems. Steam is the most energy efcient gentle care for your nest china and stemware.

VARIABLE SPRAY SYSTEM

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 and convenient.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

QUICK START

1. LOAD THE DISHES

Scrape the dishes free of excess food, bones, and any other hard, non-soluble residue. Pull each rack out and load the dishes as described in this manual.

2. MEASURE THE DETERGENT

Using the guidelines in this manual, ll the detergent cup with the recommended amount of detergent and close the lid. If a prewash is desired, the recess on top of the lid should also be lled with detergent.

3. TURN ON THE DISHWASHER

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

4. CHECK THE 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 low to maintain the eectiveness of the dry cycle.

5. SELECT THE CYCLE AND OPTIONS

Select the cycle and options that best t the load by referring to the Cycle Selection Chart. The display will show the estimated time for the cycle and options selected.

6. CLOSE THE DOOR

CAUTION

Empty the lower rack rst and then the upper rack. This will avoid water dripping from the upper rack onto dishes in the lower rack.

WARNING

In general, it is not advisable to open the door while the dishwasher is in operation. If the door is opened, a safety device stops the dishwasher. Care should be taken when opening the door immediately following the cycle, as steam may escape.

AUTO-OFF

The dishwasher will automatically turn o if a 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.

7. END OF CYCLE

When the cycle is complete, a chime will sound and the display will show “END.” After a short time, the display and controls will shut o for safety and energy conservation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

LOADING THE LOWER RACK

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.

The extra tall tub allows loading of dishes, pans, or other utensils up to 14 inches 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 silverware basket may be used in either the lower or upper rack.

ENGLISH

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.

SUGGESTED LOADING PATTERN

RACK LOADING TIPS

y Load plates, soup bowls etc. between the tines. y 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.

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

the rotation of the spray arms.

ADDITIONAL LOADING PATTERN

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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FOLDING DOWN THE LOWER TINES

The tines are adjustable to t dishes of various sizes.

LOADING POTS & BOWLS

DIFFICULT TO REMOVE FOOD ON DISHES (ON SOME MODEL)

Load items with dicult to remove or baked-on food near the steam spray arms, towards the left side of the lower rack, facing down. The dishes will benet from the direct steam spray and the lower spray arm wash action.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

LOADING THE SILVERWARE BASKET

The silverware basket has separators to avoid scratching and tarnishing 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.

WARNING

Be careful when loading and unloading sharp items. Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of personal injury.

SILVERWARE LOADING TIPS:

y For best cleaning results, use the top separators in the basket

when loading silverware. The separators will prevent nesting

of silverware. y Load sharp items, such as knives, pointing down. y 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

LOADING THE UPPER RACK

Use the upper rack for small or delicate items such as small plates, cups, saucers, glasses, and dishwasher-safe plastic items. Cups, glasses, and bowls must be positioned upside down. Extra cups or cooking utensils can be laid on the fold down cup racks, which may also provide support for long stemmed glasses. Make sure items do not interfere with the rotation of the spray arms above and below the upper rack.

SUGGESTED LOADING PATTERN

NOTE

When loading larger items in the upper rack, such

as wine glasses or taller cups, it may be necessary to remove the cutlery rack.

ing them over the rack tines can lead to breakage and water

drying. y Do not stack items on top of each other.
