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 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 hotwater system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn
on all hot-water faucets and let the water ow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do not smoke or use
an open 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.
• 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 ames.
• Install and level your dishwasher on an uncarpeted oor that can support its weight.
• Your dishwasher must be properly grounded. Never connect it to an ungrounded outlet.
See page 7 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
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 wash dishes exposed to these materials.
• Keep your dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children. Detergent has an adverse
effect on human organs. It contains elements for polishing and is corrosive. Avoid
letting the 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
dishwasher.
• Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your dishwasher yourself. Disassembly,
repairs, and modications are permitted by authorized service technicians only. Work
done by an unauthorized person may void your warranty.
• Before disposing of your dishwasher, remove the door of the washing compartment or
the door latch so that children or small animals cannot get trapped inside.
• If the dishwasher is left unused for an extended period of time, turn off the water
supply.
• This dishwasher is intended for residential use only.
Before using your dishwasher

Electric Shock Hazard
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, re, or electric
shock:

CAUTION
• Do not wash items that are covered with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease, or paint.
These materials will damage the dishwasher. Ash does not dissolve and will spread
inside the dishwasher.

paper napkins, etc. from your dishes. Food remains and waste can make noise, cause the
dishwasher to malfunction, and damage your dishes and dishwasher.

dishwasher safe. Do not wash aluminium (e.g. grease lters). The dishwasher may damage
aluminium, or in extreme cases, cause a severe chemical reaction.

In the Lower rack, you can easily fold down the fold-down tines to make room for
large items such as pots and pans in the Zone Booster area. Remove the rack from the
dishwasher, and then fold down the tines one at a time. See the illustration below.
Lower rack
In the Upper rack, you can adjust the angle of the tines to three different positions to
match the size and shape of your dishes. To adjust the tines, grasp the handle at the front
of the rack, and then push it left or right. See the illustration below.
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.
To raise the upper rack
Pull the upper rack upwards. The adjustable
handle will latch, and the upper rack will
rise.
To lower the upper rack
Hold both the adjustable handles located at
the left and right sides of the upper rack,
and then evenly press down.

indentation on the inside of the left
rack support that houses the tab for the
handle lock.
3. Push the handle lock tab in (i.e. to your

then pull the handle towards you until
it disengages from the support.
4. Repeat this process with the right
handle using your left thumb.
5. When the handles are removed, remove
the 3rd rack from the dishwasher.
6. Reverse the order of removal to
re-insert the 3rd rack.
CAUTION

handle faces downward and the handle
lock (circled) re-engages when reinserting
the handle into the rail.
The lower rack has been especially designed for dinner dishes, soup bowls, plates, pots,
lids, casserole dishes, and plates.
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.
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 sufciently so you can load it without striking
the counter above.

Using the glass support
Using your dishwasher
The glass support is especially suited for
wine glasses. Hang wine glasses onto the
pegs of the glass support. Fold the glass
support back when it is not being used.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the level of the upper rack
with the glass support propped up. This will
make it impossible to adjust the upper rack.
The cutlery rack is best suited for atware and cooking or serving utensils. You can place
cutlery and utensils randomly or regularly on the cutlery rack.
Removing the Cutlery Rack
The entire cutlery rack can be removed if more space is needed on the upper rack for
larger items. (See the “To remove the 3rd Rack” section on page 16.)
You can place each knife, spoon, or fork
separately into the spoon stands in the
basket’s covers to prevent chipping and
discoloration. See the illustrations below.
You can use the cutlery rack with the
cover open. Refer to the illustration on
the left.
The spoon stands as seen from above with the suggested placement of cutlery items.
Match the numbers in the diagram to the numbers in the list of cutlery items below.
