Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them
out of the reach of children.
After unpacking the dishwasher, keep the packaging out of the reach of children.
When loading items to be washed:
Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
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.
(_Do

not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks of the dishwasher.
Do not push or place pressure on the door when it is open, as this may damage the
dishwasher or cause harm.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
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 hot
water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn
on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
Remove the door to the washing compartment
service or discarding it.

@ To
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.

preparing for installation,

CAUTION

ensure that your power supply offers:
A 120 Volt 60 Hz 15 AMP fuse or circuit breaker

An individual branch circuit serving 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

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
Your dishwasher will fill properly when your water pressure is 20-120 psi (140-830 kPa). Water
pressure less than 20 psi (140 kPa) may cause water supply valve failure, preventing the water
supply valve from shut off completely. Or, it may take the dishwasher longer to fill than the
controls allow, causing your dishwasher to turn off. (A fill-time limit, designed to prevent
overflowing/flooding if an internal line becomes loose, is built into the controls.)
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.

Flooring
For best performance, your dishwasher must be installed on a solidly constructed floor.
Never install your dishwasher on a platform or poorly supported structure.
Your dishwasher must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Guide before it is used. If
you did not receive an Installation Guide with your dishwasher, you can receive one by visiting our website
at www.samsung.com.

CLEANING

reduces unnecessary

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 may 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, it can be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner for
Home Appliances or similar product using a clean and 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 filling the detergent
dispenser with dish detergent, and then running the dishwasher empty periodically using either the Normal
or Quick 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 flushes. Then, interrupt the cycle and put an 8 ounce cup of white vinegar into
the lower basket. Close the dishwasher and let the cycle finish.

STORING YOUR DISHWASHER
If you need to store your dishwasher for an extended period of time, first drain and disconnect it, as your
dishwasher may be damaged if water is left in the hoses and internal components before storage.
After draining and disconnecting the dishwasher, be sure to turn off the water supply valve and circuit
breaker.
