Safety information

Congratulations on your new Samsung dishwasher. This manual contains important
information on the installation, use, and care of your appliance. Please take time to read
this manual to take full advantage of your dishwasher’s many benets and features.

What you need to know about the safety instructions

Warnings and Important Safety Instructions in this manual do not cover all possible

dishwasher, follow these basic safety precautions:

CAUTION

Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in minor personal injury or property damage.

NOTE

These warning signs are here to prevent injury to you and others.
Please follow them explicitly.

California Proposition 65 Warning

WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm ­www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

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.

Safety information

Safety information

CAUTION

• 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 modications are permitted by authorized service technicians only. Work
done by an unauthorized person may void your warranty.

Basic use of racks

Angle of the plate supports

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.

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.

Height adjustment

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.

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

Detergent guidelines

All dishwasher cycles require detergent in the detergent compartment. Apply detergent as
appropriate for the selected cycle to ensure best performance.

WARNING

• Do not consume dishwasher detergent. Avoid breathing in detergent fumes. Dishwasher
detergent contains irritants and caustic chemicals that can induce respiratory conditions.
If you have consumed dishwasher detergent or inhaled detergent fumes, seek medical
attention immediately.

• Keep dishwasher detergent out of children’s reach.

CAUTION

Use dishwasher detergent only. Other types of detergent produce excessive foam, which
may decrease the dishwasher’s performance or cause it to malfunction.

To ll the detergent dispenser

1. Gently press the dispenser ap to

unlock, and then slide it open. Note that
the dispenser ap opens at the end of
