A:AnswerGreat question! For your reference the NSF certification, the steam model dishwashers the NSF is tested during the steam function, for non-steam models the NSF is tested during the high temp cycle. If the high temp option is added to the cycle, the indicator light will stay lit while the temperature get to 150 degrees and the dishes are properly sanitized. ^Jennifer
A:AnswerModel LDFN4542S does not have a special rack to long stem glassware. Place cups and glasses in the rows between the rack tines. Placing them over the rack tines can lead to breakage and water spots. To avoid chipping, do not let stemware touch other items. ^Daphane

A:AnswerThis efficient drying system does not use a heating element during the drying process resulting in superior energy efficiency and gentle care for dishes. It is to use a liquid rinse aid improves drying performance by allowing water to drain off of dishes after final rinse. Use the upper rack for small or delicate items such as small plates, cups, saucers, glasses, and dishwasher-safe plastic items. In general, do not wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations. ^Daphane
A:AnswerFor best wash performance, clean the filter after each load. If food debris remains in the filter, it may cause an odor. • In areas with hard water, clean the filter at least once a month with a soft brush. • Clean the filters using non-abrasive materials and warm running water. ^Daphane
A:AnswerThe silverware basket does open or you can keep it closed and put utensils in each separate slot on the cover. It is also removable so when it's time to take care of your silverware you can take the entire basket out of the dishwasher. I love this feature and it has worked great. Hope this helps!
A:AnswerHi there. Thanks for reaching out. LG does not make Dishwashers with exposed heating elements at the bottom. Plastics can go on any level. `Jai.
A:AnswerYes this unit does have a sprayer at the bottom of the rack. However, it is not the older model with the spray arms the sprayer mount is smaller and round to prevent food and rust getting stuck in them. This a feature to have less maintenance and an effective dishwashing cycle every time .^Tanisha
A:AnswerYes. But you can just leave it in too. I’ve only used mine once so far. At first the taller glasses wouldn’t fit with the 3rd rack in, but all I did was lower the 2nd rack one level, and now they fit without having to take the top rack out.
A:AnswerThe dishwasher will display an error code (AE) if a water leakage is detected. The dishwasher makes an alert sound for 10 seconds, and runs the drain pump intermittently. If power is turned off to the machine, the machine powers back on automatically until the AE error is resolved. ^Daphane
A:AnswerYes. There are 2 plastic plugs on the inside of the dishwasher that can be removed so you can insert screws to anchor the dishwasher to the kitchen cabinets on either side of it.
