Features of your new
Samsung dishwasher
Your new dishwasher will change the way you feel about washing kitchenware.
From its specialised features to its energy e ciency, your new Samsung
dishwasher ensures that washing your kitchenware is as easy and enjoyable as
possible.
1. 3-Tier Filtration System
Your new Samsung dishwasher’s 3-tier fi ltration system fi lters every last bit of food from your
dishes, cups, cooking utensils and cutlery. The advanced fi ltration system thoroughly fi lters out
and collects all food remains so that you can rest assured knowing that your dishes will come out
spotless.
Samsung dishwashers have the most powerful fi ltration systems in their class.
2. Condensing Drying Technology
Your new Samsung dishwasher utilizes the latent thermal energy from the fi nal rinse cycle to drying
the load. This not only saves energy, but also prevents steam from escaping the dishwasher and
injuring you and your loved ones.
This user manual contains important information concerning the use and care of your new Samsung
dishwasher. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions on using the control panel and for tips on how to
get the best out of the latest features and technologies of your new dishwasher. The “Programme Chart”
section contains a summarised table of the available programmes, and the “Troubleshooting” section
contains information on solving common problems.

MEETING THE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Power supply and grounding
Do not use an extension cord.
Only use the power cord that came with the dishwasher.
WARNING
When preparing for the installation, ensure that your power supply o ers:
• An AC 220-240V/50Hz fuse or a circuit breaker.
• An individual branch circuit serving 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.
Your dishwasher comes with a power cord and a grounded, three-prong plug that can be inserted into a
properly installed and grounded outlet.
Do not connect the ground wire to a plastic plumbing line, gas line, or hot water pipe.
WARNING
Improperly connecting the grounding conductor can result in electric shock.
Check with a qualifi ed electrician or technician if you are unsure whether your dishwasher has been properly
grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher. If it does not fi t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
CAUTION
Water supply
Do not drink the water from inside the dishwasher.
WARNING
• The dishwasher may be connected to a cold or hot water supply, max 60ºC.
• A stopcock with a 3/4” male thread must be provided on tap.
• The water pressure must be between 0.05MPa and 0.8MPa. If the water pressure is to less, the water
supply valve may not operated properly causing the dishwasher to turn o . If the water pressure is too
high, a pressure reducer valve must be fi tted.
You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:
CAUTION
• Making water taps easily accessible.
• Turning o the taps when the dishwasher is not in use.
• Periodically checking the fi ttings for leaks.
01 SETTING UP
Using Aqua-Stop
The Aqua-Stop was invented as the perfect leakage protection system.
It is attached to the water supply hose and automatically cuts o the water fl ow in the event of damage to
the hose.
Aqua-Stop is an electrical component.
CAUTION
• Take care that you do not damage the Aqua-Stop.
• Do not twist or bend the water supply hose connected to the Aqua-Stop.
If the Aqua-Stop has been damaged, shut o the water taps and pull out the power plug right away.
Once these steps have been taken, contact Samsung Customer Service or a qualifi ed technician.
CAUTION
Drain
If you are using a drain exclusively for the dishwasher, connect the drain hose to a drain that is between
30cm to 70cm o the ground.
Connecting the drain hose to a drain more than 80cm o the ground can result the water in the dishwater
fl owing back or draining incompletely.
