features of your new samsung dishwasher

Your new Samsung Dishwasher will change the way you feel about doing
dishes. From its extra large capacity to its energy efficiency, your new Samsung
dishwasher has all the features to make your chores much less mundane.

1. Extra large capacity

The upper rack is slanted for larger dishes. The space has been maximized to accommodate
a variety of dish sizes.

2. Extremely quiet operation

Efficient noise control technology is used for the quietest possible operation. Your new
Samsung dishwasher will be quieter than ever.

3. Self-cleaning filter

Cleaning the filter yourself is a thing of the past! This product keeps food waste internally
while operating, then drains it automatically with the water.

4. Smart Digital leakage sensor

Samsung dishwasher is equipped with a unique Digital Leakage Sensor designed to detect
even the smallest traces of water. Located below the dishwasher, the sensor immediately
shuts off the electrical connection after detecting a leak saving you from the expensive
aftermath of a water-related emergency.

This manual contains important information regarding the use and care of your new Samsung
dishwasher. Refer to it for descriptions of the control panel, instructions on how to use the
dishwasher, and tips for making the most of its state-of-the-art features and technologies. The
cycle chart on page 22 offers an overview of the different cycles and the troubleshooting section
on page 23 tells you what to do if something goes wrong.

death.

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

Do NOT attempt.

Do NOT disassemble.

Do NOT touch.

Follow directions explicity.

Unplug the power plug from the wall socket.

Make sure the machine is grounded to prevent electric shock.

Call the service center for help.

WARNING - When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the
following:

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
As with any equipment using electricity, water and moving parts, potential hazards exist.
To safely operate this appliance, familiarize yourself with its operations and exercise care

when using it.
Install and level your dishwasher on an uncarpeted floor that can support its weight.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

4_ safety information

safety information _5

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.

To the right of the Progress Lights, the Child Lock Light turns on when you
activate the Child Lock and the Rinse Aid Dispenser Light turns on when you
need to refill the Rinse Aid Dispenser.

The temperature rises to 162 ˚F (72 ˚C) in the final rinse cycle for high
temperature sanitization.

If you select the Sanitize option, the “Sanitize” indicator blinks when the water
temperature meets the sanitary temperature (over 155 ˚F (68 ˚C)), and then
illuminates for 10 minutes at the end of the cycle while it sanitizes.

The Sanitize feature is in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard 184
for Residential Dishwashers. Certified residential dishwashers are not
intended for licensed food establishments. Your dishwasher is NSF
Certified. The cycle that is NSF certified is the Normal Cycle with the
sanitize option selected.

This option allows you to lock the buttons on the control panel.
Children will not be able to accidently start the dishwasher by pressing the

buttons on the control panel when this option is selected.

When this option is selected, you can only operate Power button when
no cycle is running.
