safety information

Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

After unpacking the dishwasher, keep the packaging out of the reach of children. When loading items to be washed:

-Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.

-Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

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.

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.

Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place. Do not tamper with the controls.

Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.

Do not push or place pressure on the door when it is open, as this may damage the dishwasher or cause harm.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:

-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.

Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

Disconnect the power cable (or disconnect the circuit breaker) before servicing your dishwasher.

Do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. They may harm themselves or damage the dishwasher.

Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your dishwasher yourself. Disassembly, repairs and modifications are permitted by authorized service technicians only. Work done by an unauthorized person may void your warranty.

Before disposing of your dishwasher, remove the door of the washing compartment or the door latch so that children or small animals do not get trapped inside.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

4_ safety information

The dishwasher is extremely heavy. Do not attempt to move or carry the dishwasher by yourself. Two or more people are needed to move a dishwasher and avoid potential injuries.

After the dishwasher is installed, check that the drain hose is properly connected and that there is no leakage from the hose connectors. If the drain hose is loose, it may cause property damage.

The water supply line is susceptible to breakage. As time goes by, it becomes less flexible. Check the line periodically. If it is swollen, torn, cut or there is a water leak, replace it immediately.

Do not put gasoline, solvents, or other flammable materials inside the dishwasher. Do not wash dishes exposed to these materials.

Keep your dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children. Detergent has an adverse effect on human organs. It contains elements for polishing and is corrosive. Avoid letting the detergent come into contact with your skin and eyes.

Do not install the dishwasher near electrical components. Keep the dishwasher away from open flames.

If the dishwasher is left unused for an extended period of time, turn off the water supply. This dishwasher is intended for residential use only.

BEFORE USING YOUR DISHWASHER

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical supply and grounding

To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No. 70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.

Never use an extension cord.

CAUTION When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:

•A 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker

•An individual branch circuit serving only your dishwasher

Your dishwasher must be grounded. If your dishwasher malfunctions or breaks down, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.

Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

WARNING

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a permanently connected appliance:

This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and then connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

Water supply

Your dishwasher will fill properly when your water pressure is 20~120 psi (140~830 kPa). Water pressure less than 20 psi (140 kPa) may cause water supply valve failure, not allowing the water supply valve to shut off completely. Or, it may take the dishwasher longer to fill than what the controls allow, resulting in your dishwasher turning off. (A fill-time limit, designed to prevent overflowing/flooding if an internal line becomes loose, is built into the controls.)

Most plumbing supply stores sell water supply lines of various lengths up to 10 feet (305 cm) long.

You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:

•Making water faucets easily accessible.

•Turning off faucets when the dishwasher is not in use.

•Periodically checking for leaks at water supply line fittings.

Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check all connections at the water supply valve WARNING and faucets for leaks.

Flooring

For best performance, your dishwasher must be installed on a solidly constructed floor. Never install your dishwasher on a platform or poorly supported structure.

Your dishwasher must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Guide before it is used. If you did not receive an Installation Guide with your dishwasher, you can receive one by visiting our website at www.samsung.com.

BASIC GUIDELINES

1.Open the door and load your dishes (see page 16).

-Place dishes into the upper and lower racks.

-Remove any food remains from the dishes before placing them in the rack(s).

-After placing the dishes into the racks, rotate the nozzles by hand to check whether any of the dishes will interfere with them. Push the racks back so that they are in place.

2.Add detergent to the dispenser (page 18).

-Make sure to use only automatic dishwasher detergent.

-Refer to “Using the dispenser” on how to add detergent.

3.Press the Power button.

-When the Power button is pressed, the entire display turns on and off and the most recently finished cycle light lights up.

-If “Rinse Refill” is illuminated, you should refill the rinse aid to improve the washing and drying performance.

4.Select a cycle button (see pages 10 and 22).

-Press the appropriate cycle button depending on the soil level of the dishes.

-When a cycle is selected, the cycle light is illuminated. If the cycle button is activated again, the light turns off and the cycle is canceled.

-On selecting a cycle according to the soil level of the dishes, see “Cycle Selector”.

5.Close the door.

-When the door is closed, the dishwasher will start the selected cycle after a few seconds.

-The door must be firmly closed. If the door is slightly ajar, the selected cycle will not start automatically.

6.When the wash cycle is completed.

-“End” is displayed on the display and a chime is played.

-The power is automatically turned off.

When you want to load more dishes or pause the dishwasher while it is already running, make sure CAUTION to open the door slowly and carefully as there is a possibility of injury from the hot steam inside the

dishwasher.

(If the door is opened while the dishwasher is running, a safety mechanism is activated and stops the cycle.)

You should use rinse aids for better drying performance. You can further increase the drying performance by additionally selecting the Sanitize option and increasing the water temperature.

cleaning and maintaining your dishwasher

Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary repairs, and lengthens its life.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft damp cloth on the control panel to gently wipe away spills and dust. Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, or alcohol. These materials may discolor the inner walls and may cause stains. Do not clean the dishwasher by sprinkling water over it and avoid water coming into contact with any of the electrical parts.

If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, it can be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner for Home Appliances or similar product using a clean, soft cloth.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR

Clean the interior of your dishwasher periodically to remove any dirt or food particles. Wipe the inside of the dishwasher and the inner part of the door with a wet dishcloth. We recommend running the dishwasher periodically (using a Quick or Delicate cycle with the sanitize option) with an empty load after inserting dishwasher detergent. This will keep your dishwasher clean.

Do not remove the Seal tub front (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).

CAUTION

CLEANING THE NOZZLES

If the cleaning performance of your dishwasher is continually low or the nozzles seem clogged, you can clean each of the nozzles. When removing the nozzles, take care as they may break.

Lower nozzle

1. Check whether the nozzle hole is clogged by food particles.

2. If cleaning is needed, remove the nozzle by pulling it upwards.

3. Clean the nozzle and push it back into place.

4. Check whether the nozzle is engaged correctly by rotating it by hand.

20_ cleaning and maintaining

Middle nozzle

1. Pull the upper rack towards the front and remove it.

2. Check whether the nozzle hole is clogged by food particles.

3. If cleaning is needed, remove the nozzle.

4. To remove the nozzle, unfasten and remove the nut, and remove the nozzle.

5. Clean the nozzle, insert it again and fasten the nut.

6. When fastening the nut, rotate it firmly by hand.

7.Check whether the nozzle is engaged correctly by rotating it by hand.

Upper nozzle

1. Check whether the nozzle hole is clogged by food particles.
