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 caution when installing, maintaining, and operating your dishwasher. Samsung will not be liable for damages resulting from improper use.
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. When loading items to be washed: - Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal. Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries. Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent.
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. 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 water supply line is susceptible to breakage. As time goes by, it becomes less flexible. Check the line periodically.
