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 e ciency, 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. 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.

3. Extremely quiet operation

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

4. Self-cleaning fi lter

This product keeps food waste internally while operating, then drains it automatically with the
water.

5. 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 o 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

Safety information _3

Safety information

Throughout this manual, you’ll see Warning and Caution notes. These
important safety instructions do not cover all possible situations that might
occur.

It is your responsibility to use caution when installing, maintaining, and operating
your dishwasher. Samsung will not be liable for damages resulting from improper
use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

What the icons and signs in this user manual 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 fi re, 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 explicitly.

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.

4_ 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 fi re 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 fl ow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is fl ammable, do not smoke or use
an open fl ame 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 fl ames.

Install and level your dishwasher on an uncarpeted fl oor that can support its weight.

Your dishwasher must be properly grounded. Never connect it to an ungrounded outlet.
See page 8 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 fl exible.
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
e ect 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.

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 o ers:

• 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.

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:

• Making water faucets easily accessible.

• Turning o 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 and faucets for leaks.

Flooring

For safety, your dishwasher must be installed on a solidly constructed fl oor.
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.
