WARNING

WARNING

State of California Proposition 65 Warning (US only)

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.

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 the 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 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 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.

12. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from

service or discarding it.

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

CAUTION

• 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.

• As with any equipment using electricity, water, and moving parts, potential hazards exist.

• 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 9 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.

detergent come into contact with your skin and eyes.

• Do not push or place pressure on the door when it is open, as this may damage the
dishwasher or cause harm.

• Do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. They may harm themselves or damage
the dishwasher.

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, 60 Hz 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 o 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.

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

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 in two half rows, so that the front of each plate faces the back of
the plate in front of it, and the open sides of the plates at the center of the dishwasher face each other. See
the illustrations below.

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 su ciently so you can load it without striking the counter
above.

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

Loading the cutlery rack

<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 e ective 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.
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.

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 on the pegs of the glass support.

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

USING THE EASY CADDY (FOR SOME MODELS)

Use this Easy caddy on the left of the upper rack to hold
spatulas, serving spoons, and similar items.

If you want to remove the Easy Caddy, hold the upper
basket and one end of the Easy Caddy, before lifting it
up.

USING ZONE BOOSTER

To use the Chef cycle (for some models) and the
Zone Booster option, load heavily soiled items into the left

side of the lower rack-the Zone Booster area. With the Chef
cycle, you can clean stubborn items that were used with your
oven. The Zone Booster function supplies more powerful
water jets to the Zone Booster area. Make sure pot handles
and other items do not interfere with the rotation of the
nozzles and the water refl ector.

You can load lightly soiled items in other areas or racks
while using the Chef cycle.
