MEETING THE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Power supply and grounding

Do not use an extension cord.

Only use the power cord that came with the dishwasher.

When preparing for the installation, ensure that your power supply offers:

• An AC 220-240 V / 50 Hz fuse or a circuit breaker.
• An individual branch circuit serving 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.

Your dishwasher comes with a power cord and a grounded, three-prong plug that can be inserted into a properly installed and grounded outlet.

Do not connect the ground wire to a plastic plumbing line, gas line, or hot water pipe.

Improperly connecting the grounding conductor can result in electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or technician if you are unsure whether your dishwasher has been properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher. If it does not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Water supply

Do not drink the water from inside the dishwasher.

• The dishwasher may be connected to a cold or hot water supply, max 60^ .
• A stopcock with a 3/4 male thread must be provided on tap.
• The water pressure must be between 0.05MPa and 0.8MPa. If the water pressure is to less, the water supply valve may not operate properly causing the dishwasher to turn off. If the water pressure is too high, a pressure reducer valve must be fitted.

You can reduce the risk of leaks and water damage by:

• Making water taps easily accessible.
• Turning off the taps when the dishwasher is not in use.
  Periodically checking the fittings for leaks.

Using Aqua-Stop

The Aqua-Stop was invented as the perfect leakage protection system.

It is attached to the water supply hose and automatically cuts off the water flow in the event of damage to the hose.

Aqua-Stop is an electrical component.

Take care that you do not damage the Aqua-Stop.
- Do not twist or bend the water supply hose connected to the Aqua-Stop.

If the Aqua-Stop has been damaged, shut off the water taps and pull out the power plug right away. Once these steps have been taken, contact Samsung Customer Service or a quali ed technician.

Drain

If you are using a drain exclusively for the dishwasher, connect the drain hose to a drain that is between 30cm to 70cm off the ground.

Connecting the drain hose to a drain more than 80cm off the ground can result in the water in the dishwater flowing back or draining incompletely.

Setting up your dishwasher

14 Setting up your dishwasher

Before using the product for the first time

USING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

Better washing results require the use of soft water.

Hard water contains impurities that can hinder the washing performance.

You will need to soften the water if the water supply is harder than 1.0mmol / (6 d - German scale). To do this, you need:

• Dishwasher salt.
• Confi guration 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 your water supply is unsteady, set the dishwasher to the highest measurement. For example, if the water hardness reading ranges from 6.7mmol / to 9.0mmol / , set the dishwasher to 9.0mmol / .

The dishwasher's default water hardness level setting is 3 (4.0-5.5 mmol/ℓ). If this setting matches the water hardness level in your area, there is no need to change it.

If you need to change the water hardness level, follow the instructions below.

Setting the water hardness level

1. While holding down the Delay Start and Half Load 1/2 buttons, press the Power button to access the setting for the water hardness level.
2. Once you enter the setting for the water hardness, the current hardness level setting is displayed.
3. Use the Half Load 1/2 button to select the water hardness level from Level 0 to Level 5. (Refer to the table below for the water hardness level setting in your area.)

If the water hardness level in your area is very low, you do not need to use dishwasher salt. However, you set the water hardness setting for the dishwasher to 0.

1. To exit the water hardness setting, press the Power button.

Water hardness level chart

The water hardness is measured using German degrees (^) , French degrees (^) , or mmol/L (International unit for the water hardness).

Level	Water hardness				Regeneration softening/ washing cycle(ECO program)	Salt injection
	°dH °TH mmol/ \( \ell \)	mmol/l	Range
0	<6	<10	<1.0	No recycle	No	No
1	6~14	10~25	1~2.5	1/8	Yes	Yes
2	14~23	25~40	2.5~4.0	1/5	Yes	Yes
3	23~31	40~55	4.0~5.5	1/3	Yes	Yes
4	31~40	55~70	5.5~7.0	1/2	Yes	Yes

1. To exit the Sound On/Off setting, press the Power button.

USING DISHWASHER SALT

Filling the salt reservoir

In order to use soft water, you need to fi ll the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt.

Use dishwasher salt only.

Do not use any other type of salt or solvent. This may damage the salt reservoir and the water softening system.

Always fill the salt reservoir just before running one of complete washing programmes to prevent corrosion due to the excess salt or salty water.

1. Open the door.
2. Open the salt reservoir cap by rotating it counterclockwise.

1. Fill the salt reservoir with water(only required when switching on the appliance for the first time)
2. Add the dishwasher salt.

The salt reservoir's capacity is about 1 kg. Do not overfill the salt reservoir.

1. Remove excess salt from around the salt reservoir opening and cap seal.

If the excess salt is not removed, the salt reservoir cap may not close properly and allow salt water flow out with negative impact to the performance.

1. Rotate the salt reservoir cap clockwise until it is completely shut.

Recommended that if spilled a lot of salt or salty water to inside Tub, run the Prewash to clean inside Tub. Any remaining salt grain or salty water can occur corrosion.

Depending on the size of the salt grains, it may take a while for the salt to dissolve and the "Salt Refi II" indicator to turn off.

16_ Before using for the first time

Checking the Salt Refi II indicator

If the "Salt Refill" indicator is lit, add dishwasher salt as described above.

A lit "Salt Refi II" indicator means that there remains salt for three more cycles from the first switched on.

USING RINSE AID

Filling the rinse aid reservoir

As soon as the rinse aid refi II indicator lights up on the control panel, refi II with rinse aid. Your dishwasher has been designed to use liquid rinse aid only.

Cleaning and maintaining your dishwasher

Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary repairs, and prolongs its life.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

It's best to clean spills on the exterior of your dishwasher as they occur.

Use a soft, damp piece of cloth to gently wipe away spills and dust from the control panel.

Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, or alcohol. These chemicals may discolour the inner walls of the dishwasher and cause stains.

Do not clean the dishwasher by sprinkling water over it. In particular, protect the electrical components from coming into contact with water.

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, soft cloth.

CLEANING THE WASH CABINET

If there are limescale or grease deposits in the cabinet, remove these by damp cloth or run a programme which has highest rinsing temperature without any loading items after filling detergent dispenser with dishwasher detergent.

Do not remove the front seal on the container. Removing the seal can cause the dishwasher to leak or malfunction.

CLEANING THE FILTERS

1. Turn off the dishwasher.
2. Rotate the fi filter insert counterclockwise to unfasten and then detach the fi filter insert.

1. Remove any dirt or other remains from the filters and rinse them under running water.

1. Reassemble the fi Iters in the reverse order of the dissassembly, replace the fi Iter insert, and rotate clockwise to the close arrow.

If the filter insert is not closed properly, the performance will be decreased.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

If the dishwasher continues to perform poorly or the jets on the spray arms seem clogged, clean the spray arms. When removing the spray arms, take care as they break easily.

Turn off the dishwasher before removing the spray arms.

Cleaning the spray arms

1. Remove the cutlery tray insert (DW-FG720, D154, DW5363PGB, D156). (Refer to the "Using the baskets" section on page 18.)
2. Rotate the handle on the middle of the top spray arm in the counterclockwise direction and detach the arm.

1. Unfasten and remove the nut holding the upper spray arm in place and detach the arm.

28 Cleaning and maintaining your dishwasher

1. Use a pointed object such as a toothpick to push out food particles in the spray arm's jets.

1. Rinse thoroughly under running water.
2. Reattach the spray arms and check that they rotate freely.

STORING YOUR DISHWASHER

If you need to store your dishwasher for an extended period of time, first drain the unit fully and then disconnect the water hose.
