BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using
this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•This manual contains very important information
regarding the installation, use, and maintenance
of your dishwasher.
•The manufacturer cannot be responsible for
injuries or damage caused by failure to follow
these safety and caution instructions.
• Read all instructions carefully before using the
dishwasher.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
• Use only detergents or rinse agents
recommended for use in a dishwasher. Keep all
dishwasher detergents and additives out of the
reach of children.
•This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or unqualified persons.
•When loading items to be washed:
1) Load sharp items so that they are not likely to
damage the door seal; and
2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to
reduce the risk of injury when reaching into the
dishwasher.
Do not wash plastic items in the dishwasher
unless they are labeled dishwasher-safe or the
equivalent. For plastic items not so labeled, check
the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all
enclosure panels are properly in place.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish
racks of the dishwasher.
•To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children
to play in or around a dishwasher.
• 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 of time, turn on all
hot water faucets and let the water flow for
several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. Since hydrogen
gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an
open flame during this time.
• Remove the door to the wash compartment when
disposing of an old dishwasher.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
BEFORE USING THE DISHWASHER
Before using the dishwasher, please read the
Important Safety Instructions.
Water supply temperature should be a minimum
of 120°F (49°C) for better washing and
reasonable cycle time.
For this reason, use the hot water supply only. It
is also important that the dishwasher is loaded
according to instructions for effective cleaning.
When loading the dishwasher, make sure that
insoluble items such as bones, toothpicks, and
pieces of paper have been removed.
When loading the dishwasher, observe the
following general guidelines:
1. Place items with deep dish bottoms at an
angle to help water run off and speed the
drying process.
2. Remove solid, burned-on scraps from dishes
prior to loading in the dishwasher.
3. Only load items that are dishwasher-safe.
NOTE: Do not load utensils that are not
heat-resistant, have decorative metal trim, etc.

PANTSAND FEATURES
FEATURES
LARGE CAPACITY
LG dishwashers allow you to load very large
items in both the upper
and lower racks. The
tall tub provides extra
overall capacity and
the clearance to
accommodate large
dishes. Extra large items
(max. 14 in.) may be
loaded in the lower rack
by raising the upper rack.
VARIO SPRAY SYSTEM
Because the water spray alternates between the
upper and lower racks,
all of the power from
the motor is directed
to one rack at a time.
This concentrates all
the cleaning power of
the motor on each rack
in turn.
SLIM DIRECT MOTOR T
The new Slim Direct Motor TM is inverter-
controlled. Wash
power is controlled
based on cycle
selection. It also
offers high energy
efficiency to minimize
energy use.
SOFT FOOD GRINDER AND
SELF-CLEANING FILTER
For best wash results, your LG dishwasher has
a built-in soft food
grinder and a self-
cleaning filter. The
grinder grinds up soft
food and residue into
small particles that can
be caught in the filter
and washed down the
drain. The self-cleaning
filter system continuously cleans the wash water
as it circulates to separate any residue from the
wash water. All dirt and residue is easily washed
down the drain.
HYBRID DRYING SYSTEM
This system effectively dries dishes without the
use of a heating
element that would
increase energy
consumption.
STEAM WASHING
Steam technology provides better cleaning
performance than
regular wash systems.
Steam is the most
energy efficient gentle
care for your finest
china and stemware.

effectiveness of the dry cycle.
_} SELECT THE CYCLE AND OPTIONS
Select the cycle and options that best fit the
load by referring to the chart on page 11. The
display will show the estimated time for the
cycle and options selected.
OCLOSE THE DOOR
The dishwasher will start automatically, after a
slight delay, when the door is closed and
latched. During the cycle, the display will
indicate the estimated time remaining for the
cycle and options selected. If the door is
opened during the cycle, the dishwasher will
stop. When the door is closed, the cycle will
resume from the point where it was stopped.
_) END OF CYCLE
When the cycle is completed, a chime will
sound and the display will show "END." After a
short time, the display and controls will shut
off for safety and energy conservation.
,&CAUTION
Empty the lower rack first and then the upper
rack. This will avoid water dripping from the
upper rack onto dishes in the lower rack.
,&WARNING
In general, it is not advisable to open the door
while the dishwasher is in operation. If the door
is opened, a safety device stops the dishwasher.
Care should be taken when opening the door
immediately following the cycle, as steam may
escape.
AUTO-OFF
The dishwasher will automatically turn off if a cycle
is not selected or if the door is not closed within 10
minutes.
NOTE -"
If small hard items such as bones, nut shells or plastic or glass pieces get into the pump, they can
cause a grinding noise as the soft food disposer in the dishwasher attempts to grind up these hard
objects. Some objects that might get into the pump could eventually be ground up and drained away.
However, if a grinding noise is heard and it does not go away, call for service to have the objects
removed from the pump. Some objects such as pieces of glass could cause damage to the pump if not
removed promptly.
