FAQs
How does the Planetarium Wash System work?
The Planetarium Wash System uses a unique spray arm that rotates 360 degrees, distributing water dynamically throughout the tub. This ensures that water reaches every surface of every dish, providing a more thorough and effective clean compared to traditional spray arms.
What is the benefit of the DryAssist+ feature?
DryAssist+ automatically opens the dishwasher door slightly at the end of the wash cycle. This allows hot air and steam to escape, promoting natural air drying, which is more energy-efficient and leads to drier dishes with fewer spots.
Can I adjust the top basket for different types of items?
Yes, the FlexiDuo feature allows you to adjust the two sections of the top basket. You can slide them apart or together to create space for tall glasses, bulky utensils, or other items as needed.
What is the noise level of this dishwasher?
This Smeg dishwasher operates at a noise level of 42 dB, which is classified as emission class B. This makes it a very quiet appliance, suitable for use in open-plan living spaces.
How many place settings does it accommodate?
The dishwasher has a capacity of 14 place settings, making it suitable for medium to large households and for entertaining.
Does it have a delay start function?
Yes, it features a delayed start timer that can be set up to 24 hours in advance, allowing you to schedule wash cycles to run at your convenience, such as overnight.
What wash programs are available?
It offers 12 main programs plus 2 additional functions, including Auto 45-65°C, Eco, Hygiene, Intensive, Mixed, Soak, Delicate, and Express, providing versatile cleaning options for various needs.
What does the AquaStop function do?
The AquaStop function is a safety feature that provides a double-skinned inlet hose with a valve. If a leak is detected, it automatically shuts off the water supply to the dishwasher, preventing water damage.
Troubleshooting
Dishwasher not starting
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Verify that the delay start timer is not activated.
Dishes are not clean
Ensure the dishwasher is loaded correctly, not overpacked, and that spray arms can rotate freely. Clean the filters and check for any blockages in the spray arm nozzles. Select an appropriate wash program for the soil level.
Dishes are not drying properly
Confirm that rinse aid is topped up and the dispenser is open. Ensure DryAssist+ has completed its function. Check that the door was not opened too early. Ensure items are not placed in a way that blocks airflow.
Unusual noise during operation
Check that dishes are loaded securely and not rattling against each other or the spray arms. Ensure the spray arms are not hitting any tall items. Verify the dishwasher is level.
Water not draining
Clean the drain filter and check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure the household drain it's connected to is not blocked.

Care:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the filters to maintain optimal performance. The interior tub is stainless steel and can be wiped down with a damp cloth. The exterior control panel can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.
- Salt & Rinse Aid: Ensure the salt and rinse aid indicators are checked regularly. Refill the salt reservoir when the indicator is on to protect the dishwasher from limescale, and refill the rinse aid dispenser to aid drying and prevent spots.
