safety instructions

Throughout this manual, you’ll see Warning and Caution notes. These warnings,
cautions, and the important safety instructions that follow do not cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. It’s your responsibility to use
common sense, caution, and care when installing, maintaining, and operating the
dishwasher. Samsung is not liable for damages resulting from improper use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

What the icons and signs in this installation guide mean:

WARNING

Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in severe personal injury or
death.

CAUTION

Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in personal injury or property
damage.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when
using the dishwasher, follow these basic safety precautions:

Follow directions explicitly.

Make sure the machine is grounded to prevent electric shock.

Call the service center for help.

These warning signs are here to prevent injury to you and others.
Please follow them explicitly.
After reading this section, keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Read all instructions before using the appliance.

Install and store the dishwasher inside, away from exposure to weather.

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

Do NOT install the dishwasher on a carpet as this is a fire hazard.

Do NOT install the dishwasher in a location where the water may freeze (where the
temperature falls below 32 ˚F (0 ˚C)). Frozen water in the hoses or pipes may damage the
dishwasher.

As with all any equipment using electricity, water and moving parts, potential hazards exist.
To safely operate this appliance, become familiar with its operation and exercise care when
using it.

The dishwasher must be properly grounded. Never connect it to an ungrounded outlet.

Prior to removal of original dishwasher and the installation of your new unit, make sure to
switch off your circuit breaker. Do not connect the dishwasher until you have completed the
installation. Connecting the power cable is the last step when installing the dishwasher.

All wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the electrical code applicable to
the region.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a permanently connected appliance:

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

The dishwasher is very heavy. Do not attempt to move or carry a dishwasher alone. Two or
more people are needed to move a dishwasher and avoid potential injuries.

If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service agent or
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Do not touch the power cable with wet hands.

Do not connect another appliance to the same power outlet as the dishwasher.

Make sure to use a new water supply line. Old lines are susceptible to breakage because
they become hardened and may cause property damage due to a water leakage.

If the temperature of the water supplied to the dishwasher is higher than 149 ˚F (65 ˚C),
control the heater so that it drops below 149 ˚F (65 ˚C). If it does not drop below 149 ˚F
(65 ˚C), connect the water supply line to a cold water supply.

Ensure that the water supplied to the dishwasher does not freeze. Frozen water can
damage the hoses, valves, pump, or other components.

Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments.
(NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers)

For a full list of safety information, please refer to the User Manual.
