To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

1. 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.

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

3. Do not tamper with controls.

4. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher.

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

6. 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 of time, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Since hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

7. Remove the door to the wash compartment when disposing of an old dishwasher.

8. Load sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal.

9. Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of injury when reaching into the dishwasher.

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.

The following table outlines the available cycles, wash/rinse details, drying, water usage, cycle time, and spray intensity:

*Actual water consumption will vary depending on soil level.

**Actual cycle times may vary depending on soil levels and water temperature.

The Dual Intensity cycle washes the upper and lower racks at different spray intensities. The default setting washes the lower rack with strong spray intensity and the upper rack with soft spray intensity. To change intensities or use the HALF LOAD feature, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the SPRAY button for three seconds until the UPPER light begins to blink.

2. While the UPPER light is blinking, press the SPRAY button until the desired intensity for the upper rack is selected.

3. Press the HALF LOAD button to switch to the lower rack and use the SPRAY button to adjust to the desired intensity.

4. Selections can be cancelled by selecting any cycle except Quick Wash.

To cancel a running cycle, open the door and then press and hold the Dual Intensity and Quick Wash buttons together for 3 seconds. The drain pump will be activated and the cycle will be cancelled.

To enable or disable the chime, press and hold the Quick Wash and Steam Delicate buttons for 2 seconds.

The Child Lock feature locks the control buttons during cycle operation to prevent settings from being changed. A lamp will turn on when the Child Lock setting is on. To lock or unlock the buttons, press and hold the Rinse and Spray Buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds with the door open.

Press the Steam button to add steam to a selected cycle. The Steam symbol will be lighted when the STEAM option has been selected. The steam symbol will blink while steam is being injected into the dishwasher.

WARNING: Steam can cause burns. Use caution in the area of the steam nozzle on the left side of the dishwasher if the door is opened during the steam portion of a cycle. Contact with the steam or the steam nozzle can cause burns.

1. LOAD THE DISHES: Scrape the dishes free of excess food, bones, and any other hard, non-soluble residue. Pull each rack out and load the dishes.

2. MEASURE THE DETERGENT: Fill the detergent cup with the recommended amount of detergent and close the lid. If a prewash is desired, the recess on top of the lid should also be filled with detergent.

3. TURN ON THE DISHWASHER: To start the cycle, open the door and press the Power button.

4. CHECK THE RINSE AID: The Rinse Aid indicator light will illuminate if the level of rinse aid in the dishwasher is low. Add rinse aid if the level is low.

5. SELECT THE CYCLE AND OPTIONS: Select the cycle and options that best fit the load. The display will show the estimated time.

6. CLOSE THE DOOR: The dishwasher will start automatically, after a slight delay, when the door is closed and latched.

7. END OF CYCLE: When the cycle is completed, a chime will sound and the display will show “END.”

LG does not recommend washing the following items in the dishwasher:

• Hand-painted silver or gold-leaf dishes

• Wood- or bone-handled utensils

• Iron or other rust-prone utensils

• Plastic items that are not dishwasher-safe

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, and large bowls must be turned so that the inside faces downward. The lower rack should not be used for small items like cups, wine glasses, or small plates. To maximize the benefits of steam, load heavily soiled or stained dishes in the front left side of the lower rack with the dirty side facing out and down.

The upper rack adjusts up to allow you to place tall and oversized items up to 14 inches high in the lower rack, or down to allow placement of large dishes up to 12 inches high in the upper rack.

To raise the rack: Simply lift the rack at the center of each side until the rack locks into place in the upper position. It is not necessary to lift the lock levers to raise the rack.

To lower the rack: Hold the rack at the center of each side to support its weight; then lift the lever on each side to release the rack and lower it to the lower position.

NOTE: Do not adjust the rack while it is loaded with dishes.

1. Pull the upper rack out until it stops. Locate the squeeze tab.

2. Squeeze the tab of the retainer at the end of each side rail and remove it. Be careful not to allow the upper rack to fall off the rails after the retainers are removed. Pull the upper rack out of the slides.

NOTE: Always remove dishes from the upper rack before removing it.

The cutlery rack is suited for flatware and utensils. Knife, fork, and spoon handles should be positioned between the tines. If handles are too thick, reverse the pieces so handles face the other direction.

Each side tray can be adjusted independently to a high or low position. Adjust by lifting it out and rotating it front to back. The entire cutlery rack can be removed if more space is needed on the upper rack.

To remove: Pull the rack out to the end of the rails, then lift the front of the rack so the rollers clear the stop on the end of the rail. The rack can now be slid forward and removed.

1. If the lid is closed, press the lever on the bottom side of the lid to open the dispenser.

2. Add dishwashing detergent to the main wash compartment until the level is between the 15 and 25 lines. Fill to 25 line for hard water or heavily soiled loads or to 15 line for soft water or lightly soiled loads.

3. Close the lid firmly until a click is heard.

4. If a prewash is desired, fill the recessed prewash compartment area in the lid with detergent.

NOTE: Do not add detergent when the Rinse Only cycle is selected. Use only detergent intended for automatic dishwashers.

1. Make sure that the water jet holes are not blocked by food particles.

2. When cleaning is necessary, remove the lower spray arm by pulling up.

3. After cleaning the lower spray arm, replace it by pushing down until it clips into place. Be sure the spray arm turns freely.

1. Pull the upper rack forward. Make sure water jet holes are not blocked.

2. Remove the upper spray arm by turning the nut on the bottom of the spray arm 1/8 turn counterclockwise and pulling down.

3. After cleaning, press it up into place. Turn the nut 1/8 turn clockwise to lock back into place.

1. Make sure water jet holes are not blocked.

2. Use a screwdriver to release the retainer clip from the bracket that holds the top spray arm assembly to the tub.

3. Pull the spray arm out.

4. After cleaning, replace it by sliding it back into place and ensuring the retainer clip engages.
