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. Elegant design with digital touch sensors

Your dishwasher features digital touch sensors in the control panel for simpler operation with a touch of elegance.

3. Increased convenience

The smart auto cycle determines the level of soil on the dishes and initiates the optimal cycle for cleaning. Use this feature to save water, energy, and time.

4. Extremely quiet operation

Efﬁcient noise control technology gives you the quietest possible operation. Your new Samsung dishwasher is quieter than ever.

5. 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.

6. Storm wash

With a jet stream like a geyser, Storm Wash effectively cleans big, heavily soiled pots with ease. Look for the built-in extra nozzle and spray in the specialized Storm Washing Zone.

7. Twin fan condensing drying

Two fans connected to one motor make for better drying performance. Still better, your dishwasher emits no hot steam. Instead, it mixes external fresh air with the internal hot steam during drying to eliminate the steam, making your dishwasher safer and easier to use.

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 damage.

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

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. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep

them 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, and

- 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.

safety information _3

safety information

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. 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.

After unpacking the dishwasher, keep the packaging out of the reach of children. 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. Do not install the dishwasher near electrical components. Keep the dishwasher away from

open ﬂames. Install and level your dishwasher on an uncarpeted ﬂoor that can support its weight. Your dishwasher must be properly grounded. Never connect it to an ungrounded outlet.

See page 11 for more information on grounding your dishwasher. Connect the ground wire to the green ground connector in the terminal box. 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.

To safely operate this appliance, familiarize yourself with its operations and exercise care when using it.

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 push or place pressure on the door when it is open, as this may damage the dishwasher or cause harm.

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

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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

4_ safety information

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.

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

WARNING

Tip-Over Hazard

- Do not use the dishwasher until it is correctly installed.

- Do not push down on an open door.

- Do not place excessive weight on the open door.

Electric Shock Hazard

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, ﬁre, or electric shock:

- Electrically ground the dishwasher

- Connect the ground wire to the green ground connector in the junction box.

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical supply and grounding

To prevent unnecessary risk of ﬁre, electric 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. When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:

CAUTION

Ř A 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker Ř 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

The hot water supply line pressure must be between 20~120 psi (140~830 kPa). Adjust the water heater to deliver water between 120°F (49°C) ~ 149 ˚F (65 ˚C).

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:

Ř Making water faucets easily accessible. Ř Turning off faucets when the dishwasher is not in use. Ř 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 and faucets for leaks.

WARNING

01 setting up your dishwasher

Flooring

For safety, 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 you use it. If you did not receive an Installation Guide with your dishwasher, you can obtain one by visiting our website at www.samsung.com.

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 cause stains. Do not clean the dishwasher by

sprinkling water over it and avoid letting water come into contact with any of the electrical parts.

If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, you can clean it 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 ﬁlling the detergent dispenser with dish detergent, and then running the dishwasher empty periodically using either the Normal or Quick cycle with the sanitize option. This will keep your dishwasher clean.

If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher, run the Normal cycle with the dishwasher empty and without detergent until it ﬂushes. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an 8 ounce cup of white vinegar into the lower basket. Close the dishwasher and let the cycle ﬁnish.

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

CAUTION

CLEANING THE NOZZLES

If your dishwasher does not seem to be cleaning adequately 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 holes are clogged by food particles.

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

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

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