Installation requirements

Cycle overview Energy, water saving tip Cycle chart

Installation Installation requirements To prevent a risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done by a qualified technician.

Do not use an extension cord. Use only the power plug that comes with the dishwasher. After installation is complete, make sure the power plug is not bent or damaged.

To reduce a risk of leaks: • • • •

Grounding For permanent grounding, the dishwasher must be properly grounded to a grounded metal or permanent wiring system. The grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and then connected to the grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher. WARNING •

Do not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing, gas lines, or hot water pipes. Improperly connected grounding conductors may cause electric shock. Do not modify the power plug of the dishwasher. If the power plug does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

The water supply line must support water pressures between 0.04 and 1 MPa. Water temperatures must be lower than 60 °C. A stopcock with a 3/4” male thread must be installed on the water tap. Make sure water taps are easily accessible. Turn the water tap off when the dishwasher is not in use. Check for any leaks at the water hose fittings on a regular basis. To stop any leak, seal the water line connections and joints using Teflon tape or sealing compound.

Aqua Stop The Aqua Stop is an electrical component that is designed to prevent water leaks. The Aqua Stop is attached to the water hose and automatically cuts off the water flow in the event of damage to the hose. CAUTION • •

Handle the Aqua Stop with care. Do not kink or twist the water hose connected to the Aqua Stop. If the Aqua Stop is damaged, shut off the water taps and unplug the power plug immediately. Then, contact a local Samsung customer centre or a qualified technician.

Make sure the dishwasher is level using the height adjustable feet. When levelling is complete, check if the door opens and closes properly.

An individual 220-240 V~, 50 Hz branch circuit that is dedicated to the dishwasher. Power outlet with a maximum allowable current of 16 A (maximum 11 A for the dishwasher)

Before you start There are two types of dispenser as follows. Check the instructions for the right dispenser for your dishwasher.

Type A Type B Using Detergent Detergent compartment All dishwasher cycles require detergent in the detergent compartment. Apply detergent as recommended for the selected cycle to ensure best performance. WARNING •

Do not place dishwasher detergent in your mouth. Avoid breathing in detergent fumes. Dishwasher detergent contains irritants and caustic chemicals that can induce respiratory conditions. If you have consumed dishwasher detergent or inhaled detergent fumes, seek medical attention immediately. Keep dishwasher detergent out of children’s reach. CAUTION

Use dishwasher detergent only. Other types of detergent produce excessive foam, which may decrease the dishwasher’s performance or cause it to malfunction. The dishwasher may not wash well if there is not much detergent. For normally soiled items, we recommend 20-25 grams; however, this may differ depending on the detergent manufacturer, so please follow that manufacturer’s recommendations. We recommend 15-20 grams for DW5******** models.

Filling the detergent - Type A 1. Open the detergent dispenser cap by pushing the detergent dispenser catch to the right. NOTE The cap remains open at the end of a cycle.

2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main wash detergent compartment.

3. Close the lid by sliding it up.

Before you start 4. If the items are heavily soiled, pour a small amount of detergent onto the door for better cleaning results. NOTE The additional detergent will activate during the pre-wash process.

The cover opens automatically to dispense the detergent during the wash. Before you start 6

- Type B 1. Open the detergent dispenser flap by pushing the detergent dispenser release catch. NOTE The flap is always open at the end of a dishwashing cycle.

2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main wash detergent compartment.

3. Close the flap by sliding it to the left and then pressing it down. NOTE There is no separate button that is specific to using tablet detergents.

Before you start 4. If the items are heavily soiled, pour a small amount of detergent onto the door for better cleaning results. NOTE The additional detergent will activate during the pre-wash process.

The cover opens automatically to dispense the detergent during the wash. Before you start 8

Using Rinse Rinse aid reservoir Rinse aid improves the drying performance of the dishwasher. When the Rinse Refill indicator lights up on the control panel, refill with rinse aid. Only use liquid rinse aid. Powdered rinse aid will clog the reservoir opening and cause the dishwasher to malfunction. CAUTION • •

Do not apply any type of detergent to the rinse aid reservoir. Do not excessively fill the reservoir. Excessive rinse aid may overflow during a cycle.

Filling the rinse aid Before you start

- Type A 1. Open the rinse aid reservoir cap. NOTE Adding rinse aid to tablet detergents will improve drying performance.

Close the rinse aid reservoir cap by rotating it clockwise.

Before you start Using Softener Salt storage

The water softener is designed to remove minerals from the water, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance. We recommend using soft water for better results. Hard water contains impurities that can reduce the washing performance. You will need to soften the water if the supplied water is harder than 1.0 mmol/l (6 °d - German scale). • To soften the water, you need dishwasher-specific salt and configuration of the water hardness level according to your area. For more information about the water hardness level in your area, contact your local water department. • If the hardness level of the supplied water supply is unsteady, set the dishwasher to the highest measurement. For example, if the water hardness reading ranges from 6.7 mmol/l to 9.0 mmol/l, set the dishwasher to 9.0 mmol/l. • The dishwasher’s default water hardness level is 3 (2.1-3.0 mmol/l). If this setting matches the water hardness level in your area, you do not need to change it. NOTE • •

It is recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following (or Manual) table. The manufactory setting: H3

Salt consumption (gram/cycle)

1 dH (German degree) = 0.178 mmol/l 1 Clark (British degree) = 0.143 mmol/l 1 fH (French degree) = 0.1 mmol/l Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.

NOTE How water softener regeneration works (ECO cycle with H3 level setting) • Operates for about 2 minutes when drying starts and uses 2 L water, 0.0002 kWh energy • Regenerates once every 5 cycles

How to set the softener level The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise the level of salt consumption so that the salt consumption could be set proceed as follows: The buttons used to enter the setting mode may vary depending on the model. Check the buttons for your model. DW6*R70**** / DW5*R407*BB / DW5*R406*BB : A (AUTO) DW5*R405*BB / DW5*R404*BB : A (Normal) Press and hold the A button for five seconds.

Energy, water saving tip •

ECO programme is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware, that for this use, it is the most efficient programme in terms of its combined energy and water consumption, and that it is used to assess compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation (COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2019/2022). Manual pre-rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended. Use a knife, etc. to remove only large bits of food before loading. Water supplied can be up to 60 °C, and less power is consumed when hot water is connected. It’s better to fill the basket if possible but without overloading. To save water and energy, use the ECO cycle. ECO is the most efficient program when washing normally soiled items. Use an appropriate amount of detergent and rinse according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Dishwasher use saves water compared to ordinary washing by hand.
