BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•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.
•Use only 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 or unqualified persons.
•When loading items to be washed:
1)Load 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 injury when reaching into the dishwasher.
•Do not wash plastic items in the dishwasher unless they are labeled dishwasher-safe or the equivalent. For plastic items not so labeled, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
•Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
•Do not tamper with controls.
•Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.
•To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or around a dishwasher.
•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 of time, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Since hydrogen
gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
•Remove the door to the wash compartment when disposing of an old dishwasher.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
BEFORE USING THE DISHWASHER
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 effective cleaning. When loading the 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.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. NOTE: Do not load utensils that are not heat-resistant, have decorative metal trim, etc.

FEATURES
LARGE CAPACITY
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.
VARIO 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.
SLIM DIRECT MOTOR™
The new Slim Direct Motor™ is invertercontrolled. Wash power is controlled
based on cycle selection. It also
offers high energy
efficiency to minimize energy use.
SOFT FOOD GRINDER AND SELF-CLEANING FILTER
For best wash results, your LG dishwasher has a built-in soft food grinder and a self-
cleaning filter. The
grinder grinds up soft
food and residue into
small particles that can be caught in the filter and washed down the drain. The self-cleaning
filter system continuously cleans the wash water as it circulates to separate any residue from the wash water. All dirt and residue is easily washed down the drain.
HYBRID DRYING SYSTEM
This system effectively dries dishes without the use of a heating
element that would
increase energy consumption.
STEAM WASHING
Steam technology provides better cleaning performance than
regular wash systems.
Steam is the most
energy efficient gentle
care for your finest china and stemware.

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 on pages 13 and 14.
2 MEASURE THE DETERGENT
Using the guidelines on page 16, fill 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 filled with detergent.
3 TURN ON THE DISHWASHER
To start the cycle, open the door and press the Power button. The control will default to the Normal cyccle.
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 effectiveness of the dry cycle.
5 SELECT THE CYCLE AND OPTIONS
Select the cycle and options that best fit the load by referring to the chart on page 11. The display will show the estimated time for the cycle and options selected.
6 CLOSE THE DOOR
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 completed, a chime will sound and the display will show “END.” After a short time, the display and controls will shut off for safety and energy conservation.
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.
AUTO-OFF
The dishwasher will automatically turn off if a cycle is not selected or if the door is not closed within 10 minutes.
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.
NOTE :
If small hard items such as bones, nut shells or plastic or glass pieces get into the pump, they can cause a grinding noise as the soft food disposer in the dishwasher attempts to grind up these hard objects. Some objects that might get into the pump could eventually be ground up and drained away. However, if a grinding noise is heard and it does not go away, call for service to have the objects removed from the pump. Some objects such as pieces of glass could cause damage to the pump if not removed promptly.

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
•Woodor bone-handled utensils
•Iron or other rust-prone utensils
•Plastic items that are not dishwasher-safe
When in doubt, check manufacturers’ recommendations.

O P E R AT I N G I N S T RU C T I O N S
LOADING THE LOWER RACK
The extra tall tub allows loading of dishes, pans, or other utensils up to 14 inches high.
NOTE: Make sure large items do not interfere with the rotation of the spray arms, and do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.
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.
The lower rack should not be used for small items like cups, wine glasses, or small plates. These items should be loaded in the upper rack.
Load heavily soiled or stained dishes in the front left side of the lower rack with the dirty side facing out and down. This is the area the stream enters the dishwasher. The use of hot steam maximizes the dishwasher’s cleaning performance.

ADDING DETERGENT TO THE DISPENSER
•Detergent must be put into the detergent compartment before starting any cycle except Rinse Only.
•If dishes are only moderately soiled, you may be able to use less detergent than recommended.
•The total capacity of the main detergent compartment is 1.4 oz (40 ml). The recommended usage marks in the dispenser are
0.5 oz (15 ml) and 0.9 oz (25 ml). Using excess 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 the dishwasher.

2Add dishwashing detergent to the main wash compartment until the level is between the 15 and 25 lines. Fill to 25 line for hard water or heavily soiled loads or to 15 line for soft water or lightly soiled loads. Adjust amount of detergent to best meet your cleaning needs and conditions.
Close the lid firmly until a click is heard. NOTE: DO NOT add detergent when the Rinse Only cycle is selected.
3If a prewash is desired, fill the recessed prewash compartment area in the lid with detergent.
NOTE: Too much detergent can leave a film on dishes and in the dishwasher resulting in poor wash performance.
CAUTION
DETERGENT INFORMATION
Use only detergent intended for automatic dishwashers. Incorrect detergent may cause the dishwasher to fill with suds during operation. Excess sudsing may reduce wash performance and may cause the unit to leak. DO NOT use hand dishwashing detergent in this dishwasher.
16
O P E R AT I N G I N S T RU C T I O N S
ADDING RINSE AID TO THE DISPENSER
The use of rinse aid products is recommended to prevent spots on dishes from water droplets remaining after the completion of the wash cycle, and to enhance the performance of the dry cycle. NOTE: Only use liquid rinse aid in this dishwasher.
2Add a liquid rinse aid to the maximum fill level (max. 4.8 oz [145 ml]).
1Rotate the round cap counterclockwise to remove it.
3Replace the cap and turn clockwise to lock.
Rinse aid will be dispensed automatically during the final rinse cycle.
RINSE AID DISPENSER ADJUSTMENT
The rinse aid dispenser is factory-set to level 3, which should provide the best performance
under most conditions.
Setting the rinse aid
control too low will
contribute to spotting and streaking of dishes and poor drying performance. Setting
the control too high can cause foaming, which will cause poor wash performance.
To adjust the rinse aid dispenser setting, remove the cap and adjust the rinse aid lever to the desired setting.
REFILLING THE RINSE AID
The capacity of the rinse aid dispenser is 4.8 oz (145 ml). How often the dispenser will need to be refilled depends on how often dishes are washed and the rinse aid setting used.
If the rinse aid level is low, the Rinse Aid light on the control panel will illuminate.
NOTE :
The dispenser also has a round Rinse Aid Indicator Eye that is dark when the dispenser is full and light when it is empty.
