safety information
Throughout this manual, you’ll see Warning
and Caution
notes. These
important safety instructions do not cover all possible situations that might occur.
It is your responsibility to use caution when installing, maintaining, and operating
your dishwasher. Samsung will not be liable for damages resulting from improper
use.
ImporTanT SafETy InSTrucTIonS
What the icons and signs in this user manual mean :
Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in severe personal injury or
death.
WARNING
Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in personal injury or property
damage.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when
using your dishwasher, follow these basic safety precautions:
CAUTION
Do NOT attempt.
Do NOT disassemble.
Do NOT touch.
Follow directions explicity.
Unplug the power plug from the wall socket.
Make sure the machine is grounded to prevent electric shock.
Call the service center for help.
WARNING - When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
As with any equipment using electricity, water, and moving parts, potential hazards exist.
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep
them 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, and
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.

safety information
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.
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 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.
Do not install the dishwasher near electrical components. Keep the dishwasher away from
open flames.
Install and level your dishwasher on an uncarpeted floor that can support its weight.
Your dishwasher must be properly grounded. Never connect it to an ungrounded outlet.
See page 11 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 flexible.
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 disconnect the circuit breaker) before servicing your
dishwasher.

and modifications 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 do not 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.

Electrical supply and grounding
To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding
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.
Never use an extension cord.
When preparing for installation, ensure that your power supply offers:
CAUTION
•
•
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
current.
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
The hot water supply line pressure must be between 20~120 psi (140~830 kPa).
Adjust the water heater to deliver water between 120°F (49°C) ~ 149 ˚F (65 ˚C).
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.
WARNING
Flooring
For safety, 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 you use it. If
you did not receive an Installation Guide with your dishwasher, you can obtain one by visiting our website at

cleaning and maintaining your
dishwasher
Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary
repairs, and lengthens its life.
clEanIng 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 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, you can clean it with a stainless steel cleaner for
Home Appliances or similar product using a clean, 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.
Do not remove the Seal tub front (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).
CAUTION
clEanIng ThE nozzlES
If your dishwasher does not seem to be cleaning adequately or the nozzles seem clogged, you can clean
each of the nozzles. When removing the nozzles, take care as they may break.
