WARNING

WARNING

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

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.

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 WARNING 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.

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 CAUTION 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.

Using the glass support

You can load cups or glasses onto the glass support. This is also very convenient for washing wine glasses. Hang your wine glasses onto the pegs of the glass support.

You can fold the glass support back when it is not being used.

REMOVING THE UPPER RACK (FOR SOME MODELS)

You can remove the upper rack to accommodate extra large items in the bottom rack. Take care that you do not lose the holder rails during this process.

To remove the upper rack from the slide rail, pull the upper rack out from the tub until it is fully extended. Hold down the holder rails on both sides to release the upper rack. Slide the upper rack out to the end of one holder rail, and then lift it up.

Repeat the steps above with the other holder rail.

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

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

<Place items randomly or regularly.>

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

<Place items randomly or regularly.>

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. WARNING 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.
