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.
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.

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.

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.

Touch Controls

Touch controls allow you to operate the dishwasher easily.

• They are convenient to operate, requiring only a soft touch.

• Have a simple and stylish design.

If you have children or you want to clean the Control Interface, we recommend activating
the Child Lock feature to lock the control buttons.

this option selected.

- If a cycle is running, the buttons will not respond. (except the Power button and
ChildLock & Reset options)

- If dishwasher is off, only the Power button responds.

Delay Start

When you select the Delay Start option, your dishwasher will begin the selected cycle when the
delay time expires.

The Water Refl ector Interference Alarm:

• The water refl ector interference feature automatically detects obstacles in the tub. If it detects
an obstacle, the display blinks and the dishwasher chimes for several minutes. If an obstacle
is detected at the end a cycle, End blinks for several minutes.

• Remove any obstacles in the bottom of the dishwasher.

Setting Mode

The Setting Mode lets you change the dishwasher's sound setting and LED brightness setting.

noise, or cause the dishwasher to malfunction.

• Select the appropriate cycle depending on the level of soil and the type of dishes.

• Use only the proper amount of detergent and rinsing agent.

Do not wash the following items

• Acrylic or Aluminum items: Acrylic and aluminum items can discolor dishes with printed
gold rim decoration and mar other items.

• Dishes treated with adhesive: Treated plastics can come apart. Wood, ivory, copper, and tin
glued to dishes can come loose.

ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF THE PLATE SUPPORTS

You can adjust the angle of the tines in the upper rack to three different positions to match the size and
shape of your dishes. To adjust the tines, grasp the handle at the back of the rack, and then push it left or
right. See the illustration below.

In the lower rack, you can easily fold down the fold-down tines to make room for large items such as pots
and pans. Remove the rack from the dishwasher, and then fold down the tines one at a time. See the
illustration below.

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
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.

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.

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.

USING DETERGENT

All dishwasher cycles require detergent in the detergent compartment.
Add the correct amount of detergent for the selected cycle to ensure the best performance.

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

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
dishwasher detergent or inhaled the fumes, seek medical attention immediately.

Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

Filling the detergent dispenser

1. Open the detergent dispenser fl ap by pushing the detergent
dispenser release catch.

The fl ap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle.

2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main
wash detergent compartment.

3. Close the fl ap by sliding it to the left and then pressing it
down.

4. For better cleaning result, especially if you have very dirt
items, pour a small amount (about 1/2 of an ounce or 15g)
of detergent onto the door.
The additional detergent will activate during the pre-wash
phase.
