IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and follow all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that could eventually result in property damage or serious

bodily harm, even death.

The safety alert symbol will be followed by either the word “WARNING” or “CAUTION,” then an important safety message. These words mean:

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

BEFORE USING THE DISHWASHER

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.

PARTS AND FEATURES

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.

SLIM DIRECT MOTOR™

The new Slim Direct Motor™ is inverter-

controlled. Wash power is controlled based on cycle selection. It also offers high energy efficiency to minimize energy use.

HYBRID DRYING SYSTEM

This system effectively dries dishes without the

use of a heating element that would increase energy consumption.

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.

SOFT FOOD GRINDER AND SELF-CLEANING FILTER

For best wash results, your LG dishwasher has

a built-in soft food grinder and a selfcleaning 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.

LIGHT TOUCH BUTTONS AND BLUE LCD

The light touch buttons on the control panel make

selections easy and

convenient, while the

blue LCD display

clearly displays the

selected cycle and

options.

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.

WARNING

Steam can cause burns. Use caution in the area of the steam nozzle on the left side of the dishwasher if the door is opened during the steam portion of a cycle. Contact with the steam or the steam nozzle can cause burns.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

QUICK START

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.

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 off if a cycle is not selected or if the door is not closed within 10 minutes.

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.

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.

MEASURE THE DETERGENT

Using the guidelines on page 17, 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.

TURN ON THE DISHWASHER

To start the cycle, open the door and press the Power button.

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.

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.

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.

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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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 manufacturers’ recommendations.

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.

Steam Nozzle Area

To maximize the benefits of steam for removing difficult or baked-on soils, load the target dishes on the lower rack to the left side. For best effect, load the dishes so they are facing down and to the left to benefit from both the direct steam spray and the lower spray arm wash action.

LOADING FOR STEAM

Steam Nozzles

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 modules that can be used individually in both the upper and lower racks. For small loads of silverware, modules can be removed, allowing extra space for other dishes.

WARNING

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

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.

LOADING 10 PLACE SETTINGS, UPPER RACK

LOADING 12 PLACE SETTINGS, UPPER RACK

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The upper rack adjusts up to allow you to place tall and oversized items up to 14 inches high in the lower rack. Or, you can adjust the upper rack down to allow placement of large dishes up to 12 inches high in the upper rack.

NOTE: After adjusting, make sure that dishes in the upper and lower racks do not interfere with the rotation of the spray arm. Do not adjust the rack while it is loaded with dishes.

HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE UPPER RACK

The upper rack can be removed to make more room for items in the lower rack. NOTE: Always remove dishes from the upper rack before removing it.

REMOVING THE UPPER RACK

English

To raise the rack:

Simply lift the rack at the center of each side (see illustration) until the rack locks into place in the upper position. It is not necessary to lift the lock levers to raise the rack.

To lower the rack:

Hold the rack at the center of each side to support its weight; then lift the lever on each side to release the rack and lower it to the lower position.

Pull the upper rack out until it stops. Locate the squeeze tab.

Squeeze the tab of the retainer at the end of each side rail and remove it. Be careful not to allow the upper rack to fall off the rails after the retainers are removed. Pull the upper rack out of the slides.

The cutlery rack is best suited for flatware and most cooking or serving utensils.

The separators on the cutlery racks help keep flatware separated to avoid damage and improve cleaning.

Knife, fork, and spoon handles should be positioned between the tines.

If the handles of your flatware are too thick, then reverse the pieces so the handles face the other direction as shown in the bottom figure.

Each side tray can be adjusted independently to a high or low position to accommodate different sizes of utensils or cutlery. Each tray is adjusted by lifting it out and rotating it front to back.

Removable Cutlery Rack

The entire cutlery rack can be removed if more space is needed on the upper rack for larger items.

NOTE :

Always remove cutlery from the rack before removing the rack.

WARNING

Be careful when loading and unloading sharpedged items. Load sharp knives with the blade down in order to reduce the risk of injury.

Pull the rack out to the end of the rails, then lift the front of the rack so the rollers clear the stop on the end of the rail. The rack can now be slid forward and removed from the rails.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ADDING DETERGENT TO THE DISPENSER

• Detergent must be put into the detergent compartment before starting any cycle except Rinse Only.

• If dishes are only lightly soiled, use less detergent.

• 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.

If the lid is closed, press the lever on the bottom side of the lid to open the dispenser.

Add 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.

Dispenser Latch

If 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.

Main Wash Compartment

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.

Prewash Compartment

NOTE :

Remove the label on the dispenser prior to running the dishwasher.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Rotate the round cap counterclockwise to remove it.

Add a liquid rinse aid to the maximum fill level (max. 4.8 oz [145 ml]).

Replace 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.
