WARNING : When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
3. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them
out of the reach of children.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Do not touch the HEATING ELEMENT during or immediately after use.
7. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all ENCLOSURE panels are properly in place.
8. Do not tamper with controls.
9. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
10. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on a dishwasher.
11. 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.
12. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it.
WARNING:
This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
reproductive toxicity.
• 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.
• As with any equipment using electricity, water, and moving parts, potential hazards exist.
• 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 7for 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.

MEETING INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Electrical supply and grounding
To prevent the 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 provides:
• An individual 120 Volt, 60Hz branch circuit serving only your dishwasher with a 15 AMP fuse
or circuit breaker
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.
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 o 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 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 www.samsung.com.

You can adjust the angle of the tines in the upper rack to three dierent positions to match the size and
shape of your dishes. To adjust the tines, grasp the handle at the back of the rack, and then push it left or
right. See the illustration below.
In the lower rack, you can easily fold down the fold-down tines to make room for large items such as pots
and pans. Remove the rack from the dishwasher, and then fold down the tines one at a time. See the
illustration below.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE UPPER RACK
You can adjust the height of the upper rack in your Samsung dishwasher so that the lower rack can
accommodate larger sized dishes. Depending on where you set the upper rack height, the lower rack can
accommodate plates up to 12 in. (30 cm) in diameter and the upper rack can accommodated plates up to
8 in. (20 cm) in diameter.
1. To lower the upper rack by 2 in. (5 cm), pull the
adjust handles located at the left and right sides
of the upper rack, and then push the upper rack
downwards slightly at the same time.
2. To raise the upper rack, just pull the upper rack
upwards. The adjuster handle will latch and the
upper rack will move to the high position.
We recommend adjusting the height of the
upper rack before loading dishes into the rack. If
you adjust the the rack after loading the dishes,
you may damage the dishes. If you do not
adjust with left and right handle together, the
dishwasher door may not close properly.
Pull out the upper rack from the tub until it is
fully revealed before adjusting the upper rack.
Using the glass support
You can load cups or glasses onto the glass support. This is also very
convenient for washing wine glasses. Hang your wine glasses onto the
pegs of the glass support.
You can fold the glass support back when it is not being used.
REMOVING THE UPPER RACK (FOR SOME MODELS)
You can remove the upper rack to accommodate extra large items in the bottom rack. Take care that
you do not lose the holder rails during this process.
To remove the upper rack from the slide rail, pull the upper rack out from the tub until it is fully extended.
Hold down the holder rails on both sides to release the upper rack. Slide the upper rack out to the end of
one holder rail, and then lift it up.
Repeat the steps above with the other holder rail.
Step 1. Step 2. Step 3.
