If you raise the Upper Rack, you
can load large dishes in the Lower
Rack.(Max. 14 in.)
The tall tub provides large dishes
loading as well as large capacity.
LG dishwashers let you load
oversized items in the Lower and
Upper Rack.
Newly introduced Slim Direct
Inverter motor is inverter-controlled.
Speed is controlled based on
program selection. It also offers high
energy efficiency to minimize
energy loss.
This is one of the best performance
Dry
Air
solutions for drying dishes because
it minimizes venting humid air to the
outside of the dishwasher. In
addition, this system ensures better
drying results compared to the
Mixed
Air
condensing drying system.

Basic Safety Instructions
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
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.
m) WARNING : This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

WARNING
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.

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.
10 place setting, lower rack
12 place setting, lower rack
Before using the dishwasher, please
read Important Safety Instructions.
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.
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.
WARNING
Be careful when loading and unloading
sharp-edged items. Load sharp knives
with the handles up in order to reduce the
risk of injury.

the tines to five different levels.
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
