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

o 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.
o Your dishwasher must be properly grounded. Never connect it to an ungrounded outlet. See
page 7 for more information on grounding your dishwasher.
o 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.
o 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.
o To safely operate this appliance, familiarize yourself with its operations and exercise care
when using it.

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 14 in. (36 cm) in diameter and the upper rack can accommodated plates up to
12 in. (30 cm) in diameter.
DW80J3020 Series
To adjust the height of the upper rack, follow these steps:
1. Remove the upper rack following the directions in Removing the
Upper Rack below.
2. If you want to lower the upper rack, re-install the rack as shown in
Figure A to the right.
3. If you want to raise the upper rack, re-install the rack as shown in
Figure B to the right.
/_ We recommend adjusting the height of the upper rack before
......._loading dishes into the rack. Ifyou adjust the the rack after loading
the dishes, you may damage the dishes.
REMOVING THE UPPER RACK

LOADING THE LOWER RACK
Load cookware (pots, pans, etc.), up to 14 in. (36 cm) in diameter into the lower rack. The lower rack has
been especially designed for dinner dishes, soup bowls, plates, pots, lids, casserole dishes, and plates.
Load your plates into the center column of the rack so their open sides face towards the right. Load large
items such as pans and pots into the dishwasher so their open sides face downwards. We recommend
loading cups, stemware, and small plates into the upper rack.
See the recommended loading patterns below.

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 their open 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 sufficiently so you can load it without striking the counter
above.

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.
lf your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, you can clean it with a stainless steel cleaner for
home appliances or a 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 awet dishcloth. We recommend filling the detergent
dispenser with dish detergent, and then running the dishwasher empty periodically using the Normal 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.
