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.

When you select Lower (Lower Rack - Only), only the lower rack nozzle is activated. The upper nozzle will not operate.

Use this feature to wash a small load of dishes or glasses placed in the lower rack.

When you select Lower (Lower Rack - Only), place items, glasses, etc. in the lower rack only. The dishwasher will not wash items placed in the upper rack.

Selecting Lower (Lower Rack - Only) reduces both the cycle time and the amount of electricity consumed.

If you want to wash heavily soiled items such as pots and pans, select the Zone Booster option. (This option consumes slightly more water and energy.) Select Zone Booster L option: Applies intensive washing power to the left part of the lower rack. Select Zone Booster R option: Applies intensive washing power to the right part of the lower rack. Select both Zone Booster L & R options: Applies intensive washing power to the whole lower rack.

Selecting a Zone Booster option does not turn off the Upper Nozzle.

Select this option to reduce washing time.

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.

If you select the Sanitize option, the "Sanitize" lamp blinks when the water 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 not intended for licensed food establishments. Your dishwasher is NSF Certiﬁ ed.

The cycle that is NSF certiﬁ ed is the Normal Cycle with the Sanitize option selected.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK

You can adjust the height of the upper rack in your Samsung dishwasher so that the lower rack can accommodate larger sized dishes. Depending on where you set the upper rack height, the lower rack can accommodate plates up to 12 in. (30 cm) in diameter and the upper rack can accommodated plates up to 8 in. (20 cm) in diameter.

1. To lower the upper rack by 2 in. (5 cm), pull the adjust handles located at the left and right sides of the upper rack, and then push the upper rack downwards slightly at the same time.

2. To raise the upper rack, just pull the upper rack upwards. The adjuster handle will latch and the upper rack will move to the high position.

We recommend adjusting the height of the upper rack before loading dishes into

CAUTION

the rack. If you adjust the the rack after loading the dishes, you may damage the dishes. If you do not adjust with left and right handle together, the dishwasher door may not close properly. Pull out the upper rack from the tub until it is fully revealed before adjusting the upper rack.

LOADING THE LOWER RACK

Load cookware (pots, pans, etc.), up to 12 in. (30 cm) in diameter into the lower rack. The lower rack has been especially designed for dinner dishes, soup bowls, plates, pots, lids, and casserole dishes.

Load your plates into the center column of the rack so that their top sides face each other. Load large items such as pans and pots into the dishwasher so their inner cavities face downwards. We recommend loading cups, stemware, and small plates into the upper rack.

See the recommended loading patterns below.

Loading large items into the Zone Booster Areas

You can load large items such as pots and pans into the left and/or right sides of the lower rack - the Zone Booster areas for more effective cleaning. When you select the Zone Booster option, an additional, powerful jet is activated and directed at items in the Zone Booster areas. Make sure pot handles and other items do not interfere with the rotation of the nozzles and the water reﬂ ector.

LOADING THE UPPER RACK

The upper rack has been designed for small plates, mugs, glasses, and plastic items marked "dishwasher safe". Load your plates into the dishwasher so that their top sides face each other.

Make sure the loaded dishes do not interfere with the rotation of the nozzle which is located at the bottom of the upper rack. (Check this by rotating the nozzle by hand.)

When loading dishes, pull the upper rack out sufﬁ ciently so you can load it without striking the counter above.

USING THE 3RD (CUTLERY) RACK (FOR SOME MODELS)

Loading the cutlery rack

In addition to the standard cutlery basket in the lower rack, some models come with a cutlery rack. The cutlery rack is best suited for ﬂ atware and cooking or serving utensils. You can place cutlery and utensils randomly or regularly on the cutlery rack. Heavily soiled utensils or items with baked on foods should be placed in the lower cutlery basket for the most effective cleaning.

Removing the Cutlery Rack

The entire cutlery rack can be removed if more space is needed on the upper rack for larger items.

Loading the cutlery pad

Some models come with a removable, foldable cutlery pad along with a cutlery rack. To use, place the pad on the cutlery rack. and then place cutlery and serving and cooking utensils on the pad in a random or regular fashion. After a wash cycle is complete, and the cutlery and utensils are dry, you can fold the pad and carry the cutlery and utensils in the pad to their storage locations.

Use caution when folding and moving the rack with a long thin item inside the pad. The item may fall out in this process, causing physical injury.

WARNING

It is advisable not to move the pad while it is wet. Wait until the pad is dry. The pad dries quickly after a wash cycle when exposed to air for a few minutes.

Use dishwasher detergent only. Regular detergent produces too much foam, which may decrease the dishwasher’s performance or cause it to malfunction.

CAUTION

Do not swallow dishwasher detergent. Avoid breathing in the fumes. Dishwasher detergent contains irritants and caustic chemicals that can induce respiratory conditions. If you have swallowed
