BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This symbol indicates the possibility of serious bodily harm, even death.-'_

This symbol indicates the possibility of injury or damage to property. J i_

WARNING to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using

this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• This manual contains very important information

regarding the installation, use, and maintenance

of your dishwasher.

• The manufacturer cannot be responsible for

injuries or damage caused by failure to follow

these safety and caution instructions.

• Read all instructions carefully before using the

dishwasher.

• Use the dishwasher only for its intended

function.

• Use only detergents or rinse agents

recommended for use in a dishwasher. Keep all

dishwasher detergents and additives out of the

reach of children.

• This appliance is not intended for use by young

children or unqualified persons.

• When loading items to be washed:

1) Load sharp items so that they are not likely to

damage the door seal; and

2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to

reduce the risk of injury when reaching into the

dishwasher.

• Do not wash plastic items in the dishwasher

unless they are labeled dishwasher-safe or the

equivalent. For plastic items not so labeled,

check the manufacturer's recommendations

• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all

accumulated hydrogen gas. Since hydrogen

gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an

open flame during this time.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

BEFORE USING THE DISHWASHER

Before using the dishwasher, please read the

Important Safety Instructions.

Water supply temperature should be a minimum

of 120°F (49°C) for better washing and

reasonable cycle time.

For this reason, use the hot water supply only. It

is also important that the dishwasher is loaded

according to instructions for effective cleaning.

When loading the dishwasher, make sure that

insoluble items such as bones, toothpicks, and

pieces of paper have been removed.

When loading the dishwasher, observe the

following general guidelines:

1. Place items with deep dish bottoms at an

angle to help water run off and speed the

drying process.

2. Remove solid, burned-on scraps from dishes

prior to loading in the dishwasher.

3. Only load items that are dishwasher-safe.

NOTE: Do not load utensils that are not

heat-resistant, have decorative metal trim, etc.

PARTSAND FEATURES

FEATURES

LARGE CAPACITY

LG dishwashers allow you to load very large

_.,_-_ ............• ...................items in both the upper

and lower racks. The

,[__;_:_ ..... _-_ tall tub provides extra

I , overall capacity and

I__ _ I the clearance to

accommodate large

i i dishes. Extra large items

_._ _ (max. 14 in.) may be

;_ loaded in the lower rack

.... :., by raising the upper rack.

SLIM DIRECT MOTOR _

The new Slim Direct Motor TM is inverter-

controlled. Wash

power is controlled

based on cycle

selection. It also

offers high energy

efficiency to minimize

energy use.

VARIO SPRAY SYSTEM

Because the water spray

I

alternates between the

upper and lower racks,

all of the power from

the motor is directed

to one rack at a time.

This concentrates all

the cleaning power of

the motor on each rack

in turn.

HYBRID DRYING SYSTEM

This system effectively dries dishes without the

use of a heating

element that would

increase energy

consumption.

SELF-CLEANING FILTER

For best wash results, your LG dishwasher has a

self-cleaning filter

system that

continuously cleans

the wash water as it

circulates and grinds

food into small

particles that pass

easily down the drain.

The extra tall tub allows loading of dishes, pans,

or other utensils up to 14 inches high.

NOTE: Make sure large items do not interfere

with the rotation of the spray arms, and do not

prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

The lower rack is recommended for dinner

plates, soup bowls, dishes, pots, pans, lids, and

grill trays. Plates should be positioned vertically

and facing the center of the rack. Pots, pans,

Rinse Only.

• If dishes are only moderately soiled, you

may be able to use less detergent than

recommended.

The capacity of the detergent compartment

is 1.4 oz (40 g).

The amount of detergent needed depends on

the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes.

Refer to the table below and adjust these

recommended amounts as necessary for

your load.

DETERGENT INFORMATION

Use only detergent intended for automatic

dishwasher to fill with suds during operation.

Excess sudsing may reduce wash performance

and may cause the unit to leak. DO NOT use

hand dishwashing detergent in this dishwasher.

OPERATINGINSTI UCTIONS

ADDING RINSE AID TO THE DISPENSER

The use of rinse aid products is recommended

to prevent spots on dishes from water droplets

remaining after the completion of the wash

cycle, and to enhance the performance of the

dry cycle.

NOTE: Only use liquid rinse aid in this

dishwasher.

Rotate the round cap counterclockwise to

remove it.

f,

Add a liquid rinse aid to the maximum fill

level (max. 4.8 oz [145 ml]).

J

_ Replace the cap and turn clockwise to lock.

Rinse aid will be automatically dispensed

during the final rinse cycle.

RINSE AID DISPENSER ADJUSTMENT

The rinse aid dispenser is factory set to level 3,

which should provide

Rinse-Aid Indicator

Adjustment Lever

the best performance

under most conditions.

Setting the rinse aid

control too low will

contribute to spotting

and streaking of

dishes and poor

drying performance.

Setting the control too high can cause foaming,

which will cause poor wash performance.

To adjust the rinse aid dispenser setting, remove

the cap and adjust the rinse aid lever to the

desired setting.

REFILLING THE RINSE AID

The capacity of the rinse aid dispenser is 4.8 oz

(145 ml). How often the dispenser will need to

be refilled depends on how often dishes are

washed and the rinse aid setting used.

If the rinse aid level is low, an indicator will light.

The indicator light will stay on when the door is

closed to start a cycle.

CARE CLEANING

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

WARNING To oo,o oo,
