safety information

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

WARNING

1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

3. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them

out of the reach of children.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Do not touch the HEATING ELEMENT during or immediately after use.

7. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all ENCLOSURE panels are properly in place.

8. Do not tamper with controls.

9. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.

10. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.

11. 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 hot­water 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.

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

WARNING:

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and

WARNING

reproductive toxicity.

• After unpacking the dishwasher, keep the packaging out of the reach of children.

CAUTION

• 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.

• As with any equipment using electricity, water, and moving parts, potential hazards exist.

• 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 7 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
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 set the circuit breaker to off) before servicing your
dishwasher.

• Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your dishwasher yourself. Disassembly, repairs,
and modifi cations 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 cannot 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.

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Electrical supply and grounding

To prevent the 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.

CAUTION

When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply provides:

• An individual 120 Volt, 60Hz branch circuit serving only your dishwasher with a 15 AMP fuse
or circuit breaker

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:

• 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
and faucets for leaks.

WARNING

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.

02 setting up your dishwasher

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.

With the Sanitize option selected, the water temperature is increased to
162˚F (72 ˚C) in the fi nal rinse cycle for high temperature sanitization.

temperature reaches the sanitary temperature (over 155 ˚F (68 ˚C)), and then
remains illuminated until the Sanitize option ends. When you open the door or
press the Power button, the "Sanitize" lamp turns off.

You cannot select the Sanitize option if you select the Delicate cycle.

The Sanitize feature operates in accordance with NSF/ANSI Standard
184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certifi ed residential dishwashers are
