DISHWASHER FEATURES

■ Ultra Large Capacity

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with no visible text or symbols

If you raise the upper rack, you can load large dishes (Max. 14 in.) in the lower rack. The tall tub provides the clearance to handle large dishes as well as overall large capacity. LG dishwashers let you load very large items in the upper and lower racks.

■ Removable Utensil Rack™

Third level cutlery rack makes it easy to load and unload flatware and cooking utensils.

Trays can be adjusted or removed to make more room for regular upper rack items.

■ Slim Direct Motor™

The new Slim Direct Motor ^™ is inverter-controlled. Wash power is controlled based on program selection. It also offers high energy efficiency to minimize energy use.

■ Hybrid Drying System

Moist Air Dry Air Mixed Air

This is a drying solution to mix cool and dry air from outside of the dishwasher and hot and humid air from inside of the dishwasher. It is safer than the system of venting hot and humid air to the outside of the dishwasher. Moreover, this is an optimized drying system that ensures less energy than heated dry system and better drying performance than condensing system.

■ Vario Spray System

to Upper Arm to Lower Arm

Because the water spray is alternated between the upper and lower racks, all the power from the motor is directed to only one rack at a time which allows superior performance and reduced consumption of water and electricity.

■ Self-Cleaning Filter

Soil Sensor to Drain Fine Mesh

For best wash results, the self-cleaning filter system continuously cleans the water as it circulates. Your LG dishwasher has a self-cleaning filter and a chopper that grinds food into small particles before it goes down the drain.

DISHWASHER FEATURES

■ Dual Intensity™ Wash Cycle

Cross-sectional diagram of a mechanical or electrical system with no visible text, numbers, or symbols.

The spray intensity of the upper and lower racks is programmable by the consumer. You can select wash power based on soil level. For example, by selecting Soft Spray for the upper rack and Strong Spray for the lower rack, you can wash delicate items like stemware on the upper rack while washing pots and pans on the lower rack.

■ Steam Washing and Steam Delicate™

Simple line drawing of a door with a circular vent and cloud-like shapes inside (no text or symbols)

Adding STEAM to the wash cycles enhances wash performance with very little additional water or energy consumption. The SteamDelicate™ cycle can be used for cleaning delicate item such as china or stem ware.

■Light Touch Buttons and Blue LCD

Water supply temperature should be a minimum of 120^ F ( 49^ C) for better washing and reasonable cycle time.

For this reason, use hot water supply only. It is also important that the dishwasher be loaded according to instructions for effective cleaning.

When loading your dishwasher, be sure to scrape off large quantities of food and remove non-food items such as paper, bones, toothpicks, etc.

1. Items with deep bottoms, like some coffee cups, should be placed at an angle to help water run off for better washing and drying.
2. Remove solid, burnt-on food from dishes prior to loading in the dishwasher.
3. Load only items which are dishwasher safe.

NOTE Please avoid utensils that are non-heat resistant, metal decorated, etc.

Loading the Lower Rack

The extra tall tub allows loading of dishes, pans or other utensils that are up to 14 inches in size.

NOTE Do not obstruct the rotation of the spray arms. Make sure large items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

The lower rack is best loaded with dinner plates, soup bowls, dishes, pots, pans, lids and even a grill tray. Plates should be positioned upright and facing the center of the rack. Pots, pans, and large dishes must be turned so that the inside is facing downward.

Adding detergent to dispenser

• Detergent must be put into the detergent chamber before starting every cycle except when Rinse Only is selected.
• If your dishes are only moderately dirty, you may be able to use less detergent than recommended.
• The detergent chamber holds 1.4 oz (40g) when full.

NOTE

It is not necessary to fill the compartment to capacity. Simply use the recommended amount of detergent.

- The amount of detergent depends on the program, dish load and, soil level and water hardness. Refer to the table below and adjust these recommended amounts as necessary for your load.

CYCLE	AMOUNT OF DETERGENT
	PRE-WASH compartment	MAIN WASH compartment
Soak	Full (0.35 oz)	34 Full (1.05 oz)
Power Scrub	Full (0.35 oz)	34 Full (1.05 oz)
Normal	None	12 Full (0.7 oz)
Steam Delicate	None	14 Full (0.3 oz)
Quick	None	12 Full (0.7 oz)
Rinse only	None	None

CAUTION

Detergent Information

Adding Rinse Aid to dispenser

The use of rinse aid is required to help prevent possible spots on dishes water droplets remaining after the completion of the wash cycle and to enhance the performance of the dry cycle.

NOTE

Only liquid rinse aid can be used for this dishwasher.

- Filling Rinse Aid

1. Rotate the round cap counterclockwise and remove it.

Hand pressing a button on a device (no text or symbols visible)

1. Add liquid rinse aid to the maximum level. (Max. 4.8 oz (145ml))

1. Replace and lock the cap.

1. Rinse aid will be automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

- Rinse Aid Amount Setting

The factory setting is at level 3, which provides the best performance under most conditions. Setting the rinse aid control to a setting that is too low will contribute to spotting and streaking of the dishes and poor drying performance.

Setting the control too high can cause foaming which will cause poor wash performance.

If it becomes necessary to adjust the rinse aid setting, remove the cap and adjust the dial to a higher or lower number. Lower numbers use less rinse aid.

In hard water areas where it is not economical or practical to install a water softener, use GLASS MAGIC with each load to increase the effectiveness of the detergent. Pour 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) of GLASS MAGIC into the bottom of your dishwasher each time the dishwasher is used except Rinse Only. To remove film on dishwasher recommend that use White Vinegar and operate product at about 20ml(4 tbsp) or use the Tub clean detergent.

ARE AND MAINTENANCE

For best results, it is important to periodically check and care for the filters and spray arms.

⚠ WARNING: To prevent any possible injury during care and maintenance/cleaning, be sure to wear gloves and/or protective clothing.

Cleaning metallic parts

Clean the dishwasher with a cloth or sponge. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel door panel, we recommend the use of a quality stainless steel cleaner. The stainless steel tub has a tendency to build up cloudy film on its surface, especially when using hard water.

To remove filming on the interior surfaces, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the tub and run a normal cycle. If stronger cleaning is needed, use Glisten or similar cleaning agent which can usually be found wherever detergents are sold.

Cleaning Spray Arms

- Lower Spray Arm

• Check that the water jet holes are not blocked by food particles.
• When cleaning is necessary, remove the spray arm by pulling up.
• Clean the spray arm and replace it by pushing down to snap it in place. Be sure spray arm turns freely after installation.

Seasonal Maintenance and Storage

• During the summer season, if you will be absent for extended periods of time, it is recommended that you close the water valve and unplug power cord or shut off the circuit breaker.
• During the winter season, if there is a possibility of freezing temperatures, it is recommended that you winterize the water supply lines and the product itself.

PERATING SEQUENCE

In general, it is not advisable to open the door while the dishwasher is running. However, if it becomes necessary to open the door during a cycle, the dishwasher will stop automatically. The cycle will start again once the door is closed. Care should be taken when opening the door immediately following the cycle, as steam may escape.
