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. A Sleek Digital Touch Panel (DW-UG97)

Your new Samsung dishwasher comes with a sleek control panel that incorporates digital touch
sensors for greater ease-of-use.

2. 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.

3. Condensing Drying Technology (DW-UG72, DW-UG62)

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.

4. SDP Drying Technology (DW-UG97, DW-UG92)

Your new Samsung dishwasher utilizes Super Desiccant Polymer (SDP) technology to dry your
dishes following the last rinse cycle. 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”

INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING YOUR DISHWASHER

This dishwasher is not designed for commercial use. It is intended for use in domestic households and
in similar working and residential environments such as:

• Shops

• O ces and showrooms

and by residents in establishments such as:

• Hostels and guest houses.

It must only be used as a domestic appliance as specifi ed in these user manual, for cleaning domestic
crockery and cutlery.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be dangerous.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage resulting from incorrect or improper use or
operation.

Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion.

WARNING

Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive
ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing.

WARNING

Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.

Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily, as you could trip over it.

CAUTION

Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the dishwasher to tip and be damaged, and
you could get injured.

CAUTION

Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing‐up liquid.

Do not use the strong acid cleaning agent.

CAUTION

Do not fi ll the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent. This will cause serious damage to the
reservoir.

Inadvertently fi lling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent will damage the water
softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before fi lling the salt

CAUTION

reservoir.

Please only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation, as other salts may contain
insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the softener.

In an appliance with a cutlery basket (depending on model), cutlery is cleaned and dried more if placed
in e ciently the basket with the handles downwards. However, to avoid the risk of injury, place knives

CAUTION

and forks etc. with the handles upwards.

Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water, such as disposable plastic
containers, or plastic cutlery and crockery should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
The high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.

On models with Delay Start function, make sure that the dispenser is dry before adding detergent.
Wipe dry if necessary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dispenser and may not be thoroughly
dispersed.

Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points down or
placed in a horizontal position.

by unqualifi ed persons can be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised
work.
