features of your new samsung dishwasher

Your new Samsung Dishwasher will change the way you feel about doing dishes.

From its large capacity to its energy efficiency, your new Samsung dishwasher has all the features to make your chores much less mundane.

1. Powerful 3 washing spray arms spraying 6 ways

Your Samsung dishwasher has 3 spray arms - top, upper, and lower arms.

All 3 of the 2-way washing spray arms powerfully spray cleaning water in a total of 6 directions to improve the washing performance.

2. Elegant design with digital touch sensors

Digital touch sensors are used in the control panel for more simple operation, with a touch of elegance.

3. Quadruple filter system

The quadruple filter system and the food filtration device crushes food remains from the dishes, glasses, cooking pots and cutlery inside the dishwasher into small particles. Since food remains are crushed by stainless blades, then filtrated, collected and picked out by the draining cycle, you do not need to worry about any food remains inside bowls and dishes.

Your Samsung dishwasher has the best filtration performance of dishwashers in its class.

This manual contains important information regarding the use and care of your new Samsung dishwasher. Refer to it for descriptions of the control panel, instructions on how to use the dishwasher, and tips for making the most of its state-of-the-art features and technologies. The cycle chart in the “Program overview” section offers an overview of the different cycles and the

“Troubleshooting” section tells you what to do if something goes wrong.

Condensing dry technology

• Saves energy by drying the dishes using the remaining heat after the last rinse cycle.

• Clean and safe. No hot steam is emitted during the drying cycle.

WARNING

Do not wash the following items

• Acrylic, Aluminum: Dishes with printed gold rim decoration may become discolored.

• Dishes treated with adhesive: Treated plastics, wood, ivory, copper and tin may come loose.

• Plastics with a temperature tolerance less than 90 °C : Thin plastics wash and dry poorly, and may be damaged due to elevated wash temperatures.

• Tin: Tin should be washed by hand and dried immediately as it may rust.

• Wooden utensils: Wooden items may crack.

WARNING

When using the dishwasher, try to arrange the dishes properly as described in the “Loading the top and bottom baskets” section.

• You should remove food remains such as bones, fruit seeds, etc. and any other kind of waste such as toothpicks, paper, etc. from the dishes as these may cause damage to the dishes, create noise, or even a product malfunction.

• Select the appropriate cycle depending on the level of soil and the type of dishes.

• Use only the proper amount of detergent and rinsing agent.

safety information

Throughout this manual, you’ll see Warning and Caution notes. These important safety instructions do not cover all possible situations that might occur. It is your responsibility to use and caution when installing, maintaining, and operating your dishwasher. Samsung will not be liable for damages resulting from improper use.

What the icons and signs in this user manual mean :

WARNING

CAUTION

CAUTION

Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in severe personal injury or

death.

Hazards or unsafe practices that may result in personal injury or property

damage.

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or personal injury when using your dishwasher, follow these basic safety precautions:

Do NOT attempt.

Do NOT disassemble.

Do NOT touch.

Follow directions explicity.

Unplug the power plug from the wall socket.

Make sure the machine is grounded to prevent electric shock.

Call the service center for help.

WARNING - When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

As with any equipment using electricity, water and moving parts, potential hazards exist.

To safely operate this appliance, familiarize yourself with its operations and exercise care when using it.

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 the “Meeting installation requirements” section for more information on grounding your dishwasher.

Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

safety information

Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children.

After unpacking the dishwasher, keep the packaging out of the reach of children.

Locate sharp items so that they do not damage the door seal.

Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be loaded in the basket with their points facing downwards or placed in a horizontal position.

Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent thereof.

For plastic items that are not marked in this way, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

Do not tamper with the controls.

Do not abuse, sit, or stand on the door, lid, or dish baskets of the dishwasher.

Do not put pressure on the door when it is open as this may damage the dishwasher or result in injury.

Take care when opening the door, as hot water may splash onto your hand.

Do not install this dishwasher under the power outlet or place the extension cord on the dishwasher.

Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

Do not expose the dishwasher to direct sunlight.

To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.

To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:

- 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.

Disconnect the power cord (or disconnect the circuit breaker) before servicing your dishwasher.

Do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. They may harm themselves or damage the dishwasher.

Do not repair, replace, or service any part of your dishwasher yourself. Disassembly, repairs and modifications are permitted by authorized service technicians only. Work done by an unauthorized person may void your warranty.

Before disposing of your dishwasher, remove the door of the washing compartment or the door latch so that children or small animals do not get trapped inside.

Do not add any solvents into the dishwasher as this may result in an explosion.

Do not use industrial detergent.

Do not add dishwashing detergent into the rinse compartment.

UserManual-DMS400TH_EN-Australia.indd 4 2010-07-01 �� 6:16:56

In particular, keep the detergent dispenser dry when using the delay start function as it may become clogged up.

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.

If the power cord or plug is damaged, do not repair it yourself. Call a qualified person from the manufacturer or service company.

This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Check the power supply, the water supply connection, and operate the product to check for malfunctions and water leaks when operating the installed product.

The appliance door should always be closed as this could allow people to walk into it.

This appliance is intended for domestic use, but can be used in similar locations such as:

- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;

- farm houses;

- by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;

- bed and breakfast type environments.

The power plug must be accessible after the installation.

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 aqua stop 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.

Do not put gasoline, solvents, or other flammable materials inside the dishwasher. Do not wash dishes exposed to these materials.

Keep your dishwasher detergent out of the reach of children. Detergent has an adverse effect on human organs. It contains elements for polishing and is corrosive. Avoid letting the detergent come into contact with your skin and eyes.

Do not install the dishwasher near electrical components. Keep the dishwasher away from open flames.

If the dishwasher is left unused for an extended period of time, turn off the water supply.

This dishwasher is intended for residential use only.

WARNING

Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion of the wash cycle.

- To ensure your children’s safety, use the Child Lock function while using this appliance.

For detailed information about the Child Lock function, refer to the description about the

Child Lock button in the “Control panel” section.

- Do not allow children to play with or operate the appliance.

- Keep children away from detergents and rinse aid. These may result in asphyxiation or chemical burns to the mouth, throat or eyes.

mEETInG InsTALLATIon rEQuIrEmEnTs

Electrical supply and grounding

To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring must be grounded. It is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to provide adequate electrical service for this appliance.

CAUTION

Never use an extension cord.

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

• An individual circuit serving only 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.

WARNING

Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.

Water supply

Your dishwasher will fill properly when your water pressure is 0.05 ~ 0.8 MPa. Water pressure less than 0.05 MPa may result in a water supply valve failure, which does not allow the water supply valve to shut off completely. Alternatively, it may take the dishwasher longer to fill than allowed by the controls, resulting in the dishwasher turning off. (A filling time limit, designed to prevent overflowing/flooding if an internal line becomes loose, has been built into the controls.)

• Ensuring that water faucets are easily accessible.

• Turning off faucets when the dishwasher is not in use.

• Periodically checking for leaks on the aqua stop fittings.

• We recommend cold water connection only.

WARNING

Before using your dishwasher for the first time, check all connections on the water supply valves and faucets for leaks.

filling the rinse aid dispenser

Your dishwasher has been designed to use liquid rinse aid.

The use of a rinse aid greatly improves the drying performance during the drying cycle.

1. Push and turn the dispenser knob counterclockwise to open the cover.

2. Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator points to

“max”. Avoid overfilling the dispenser.

3. Adjust the amount of rinse aid released during the rinse operation.

You can adjust the amount over six levels (1~6). The greater the number, the larger the amount of rinse aid released. The factory default is 6.

When the rinse dispenser is filled, it is good for about 40 washes.

If you feel uncomfortable adjusting the leveler, using a couple of coins will make your adjustments easier.

4. Close the cover.

Turn the dispenser knob clockwise.

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

CLEAnInG ThE ExTErIor

It’s best to clean spills on the outside of your dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft damp cloth on the control panel to gently wipe away spills and dust. Do not use benzene, wax, thinner, chlorine bleach, or alcohol. These materials may discolor the inner walls and may cause stains. Do not clean the dishwasher by sprinkling water over it and avoid water coming into contact with any of the electrical parts.

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 InTErIor

Clean the interior of your dishwasher periodically to remove any dirt or food particles. Wipe the inside of the dishwasher and the inner part of the door with a wet dishcloth. We recommend running the dishwasher periodically (using a Quick program with the Sterilization option) with an empty load after inserting dishwasher detergent. This will keep your dishwasher clean.

If white spots and odor are still present in your dishwasher, run the Quick program without loading dishes until it flushes, then interrupt the cycle and add 200 g cup of white vinegar solution into the bottom basket and finish the cycle. Do not use detergent.

CAUTION

Do not remove the Seal tub front (the long rubber seal enclosing the opening of the dishwasher).

CLEAnInG ThE nozzLEs

If the cleaning performance of your dishwasher is continually low or the nozzles seem clogged, you can clean each of the nozzles. When removing the spray arm, take care as they may break.

Lower spray arm

1. Use a sharp object such as a toothpick to remove leftovers from the spray arm.

2. Remove the bottom basket.

3. Pull the lower spray arm firmly upwards to remove it.

4. Use a pointed object such as a toothpick to push food particles into the spray arm jets.

5. Rinse thoroughly under running water.

6. Return the spray arm and check that it rotates freely.

4. Rinse the coarse, fine and outer filters under running water.

5. Insert the filters into the tub and turn the filter cap clockwise to fix it.

sTorInG your DIshWAshEr

If you need to store your dishwasher for an extended period of time, first drain and disconnect it, as your dishwasher may be damaged if water is left in the hoses and internal components before storing it.

After draining and disconnecting the dishwasher, be sure to turn off the water supply valve and circuit breaker.
