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.

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

10. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the 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 hot­water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher, turn
on all hot-water 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

After unpacking the dishwasher, keep the packaging out of the reach of children.
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.
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 10 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

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 you provide:

• An individual branch circuit with a 120 V, 60Hz, 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker that serves
only your dishwasher .

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.

BASIC GUIDELINES

1. Open the door and load your dishes (see page 14).

- Place dishes into the upper and lower racks, unless you have selected Lower Rack.

- Remove any food remains from the dishes before placing them in the FlexLoad™ rack(s).

- After placing the dishes into the FlexLoad™ racks, rotate the nozzles by hand to check whether any

of the dishes will interfere with them.

- Make sure the dishes will not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

2. Add detergent to the dispenser (see page 20).

- Make sure to use only automatic dishwasher detergent and rinse aid.

- Refer to “Using detergent” on page 20 for instructions explaining how to add detergent and

rinse aid.

3. Press the Power button.

- When you press the Power button, the entire display turns on and off, and then the indicator of the

most recently fi nished cycle lights up.

- If “Low Rinse” (

) is illuminated, you should refi ll the rinse aid dispenser to improve washing and

drying performance.

4.

Select an appropriate cleaning cycle depending on the soil level of the dishes. (See pages 9 and 25.)

- Press the appropriate cycle button.

- When you press a cycle button, the cycle indicator lights up.

5. Press the Start button, and then close the door within 3 seconds.

- The dishwasher will start draining after a few seconds, and then start the selected cycle.

- Make sure to close the door fi rmly. If the door is not closed properly, the selected cycle will not start

automatically.

6. When the wash cycle is completed.

- The light illuminates and the dishwasher sounds a chime.

- The dishwasher powers off automatically.

- The door opens automatically 5 ~ 15 minutes before the cycle ends to improve drying performance.

- If you want to load more dishes or pause the dishwasher while it is already running, make sure to
open the door slowly and carefully as there is a possibility of injury from the hot steam inside the
dishwasher.

- If the door is opened while the dishwasher is running, a safety mechanism is activated and stops
the cycle.

- To resume operation, press the Start button, and then close the door within 3 seconds.

- Adding dishes several minutes after the dishwasher starts operating may affect its performance.

- If you open the door while the dishwasher is running at high temperature, it will drain the hot water
automatically to protect you from scalding.

You should use rinse aids for better drying performance. You can further improve drying performance
by also selecting the Sanitize option.

After a cycle is complete, the door automatically opens to let steam out. This is normal and not a
product malfunction.
