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.

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
service or discarding it.

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
when using it.

Do not put gasoline, solvents, or other flammable materials inside the dishwasher. Do not

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.

Disconnect the power cable (or set the circuit breaker to off) before servicing your

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 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.

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
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.

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.

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

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.

USING THE 3RD (CUTLERY) RACK (FOR APPLICABLE 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 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.

* When loading the cutlery and utensils onto the cutlery rack, make sure they do not interfere
with the top nozzle of the rack. If they interfere, remove the cutlery pad and try again.

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.

CAUTION

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

WARNING

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

Keep dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children.

WARNING

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.

The numbers inside the dispenser refer to grams.

Filling the rinse aid reservoir

When the Rinse Refi ll indicator lights up on the control panel, refi ll the reservoir with rinse aid.
Your dishwasher has been designed to use liquid rinse aid only.
Using a powdered rinse aid will clog the reservoir opening and cause the dishwasher to
malfunction.

Rinse aid improves the drying performance of the dishwasher.

Do not add regular detergent to the rinse aid reservoir.

CAUTION

1. Remove the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it

counterclockwise.

2. Fill the rinse aid reservoir with rinse aid.

Use the viewing port when fi lling the rinse aid reservoir.

03 using your dishwasher

Do not fi ll the reservoir above the full level indicator.
Excess rinse aid can overfl ow during the wash cycle.

CAUTION

3. Turn the rinse aid indicator dial to a number between 1 and

6. The higher the number, the more rinse aid the dishwasher
uses. If you are unable to rotate the rinse aid dial easily, try
using a coin.

4. Close the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it clockwise.

cleaning and maintaining your
dishwasher

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.

If 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 a wet dishcloth. We recommend fi lling the detergent
dispenser with dish detergent, and then running the dishwasher empty periodically using either the Normal
or Express 60 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 fl ushes. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an 8 ounce cup of white vinegar into
the lower basket. Close the dishwasher and let the cycle fi nish.

Do not remove the tub front seal (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).

CAUTION

CLEANING THE FILTERS (DW80K7050 SERIES)

1. Turn off the dishwasher.

2. Rotate the fi lter insert counterclockwise to unfasten and then detach

the fi lter insert.

3. Remove the fi ne fi lter (fl at, rectangular).

4. Remove any dirt or other remains from the fi lters, and then rinse them
under running water.

5. Reassemble the fi lters in the reverse order of the dissasembly, replace
the fi lter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.

If the fi lter insert is not closed properly, its performance will

CAUTION

be decreased.

CLEANING THE NOZZLES

If your dishwasher does not seem to be cleaning adequately or the nozzles seem clogged, you can clean
each of the nozzles. When removing the nozzles, take care as they may break.

Lower nozzle

1. Check whether the nozzle holes are
clogged by food particles.

2. If cleaning is needed, remove the nozzle by
pulling it upwards.

3. Clean the nozzle, and then push it back
into place.

4. Check whether the nozzle is engaged
correctly by rotating it by hand.
