SPECIFICATION

For Authorized Service Technician - 6 - 3. FEATURES & TECHNICAL EXPLANATION 3-1. Product Features LARGE CAPACITY LG dishwashers allow you to load very large items in both the upper and lower racks. The tall tub provides extra overall capacity and the clearance to accommo- date large dishes. Extra large items (max. 14 in.) may be loaded in the lower rack by raising the upper rack. HYBRID DRYING SYSTEM This system effectively dries dishes without the use of a heating element that would increase energy consumption. STEAM WASHING (not available on all models) Steam technology provides better cleaning performance than regu- lar wash systems. Steam is the most energy ef- ficient gentle care for your finest china and stemware. VARIABLE SPRAY SYSTEM Because the water spray 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. LIGHT TOUCH BUTTONS The light touch buttons on the control panel make selections easy and convenient.

For Authorized Service Technician - 7 - LDF8874 / LDF8764 3-2. Display Panel CONTROL PANEL (steam models) Cycles Select your desired cycle. Auto This cycle senses the load size, soil amount and soil tough- ness. This cycle is optimized to achieve the best cleaning. Heavy This cycle is for heavily and hard soiled dishes. Heavy defaults to the highest spray intensity and uses the power of steam to wash heavily soiled dishes. Delicate This cycle adds the gentle power of steam to boost the cleaning power of the delicate cycle. The cycle is intended for effectively cleaning delicate items such as fine china and stemware. Dual Control This cycle washes the upper and lower racks at different spray intensities. The default setting for this cycle washes the lower rack with strong spray intensity and the upper rack with soft spray intensity. This provides optimum cleaning performance for mixed loads, including fine china and stemware. If other combinations are desired, use the steps listed below to change the intensities or to use the Half Load feature. How To Use Dual Control: 1. Select Dual Control. 2. Press the Spray button to toggle between Soft, Medium and Strong for the upper spray arm. 3. After making your selection for the upper spray arm, press the Half Load button. 4. Press the Spray button to toggle between Soft, Medium and Strong for the lower spray arm. 5. Close the door to start the cycle. Normal This cycle is for normally soiled, everyday loads. Quick & Dry This is a shortened cycle that is intended for washing and drying recently used dishes or lightly soiled loads. During this cycle, both spray arms will run at the same time. CHIME ON/OFF To enable or disable the chime, first, turn on the dishwasher. Press and hold the Delicate and Quick&Dry Buttons simultaneously for approximately three seconds.
