FAQs

What is the Planetarium Wash System?

The Planetarium Wash System is a patented technology by SMEG that uses three synchronized wash and rinse arms to ensure water reaches every corner of the dishwasher, providing maximum cleaning coverage for all items.

How does Dry Assist+ work?

Dry Assist+ automatically opens the dishwasher door a few centimeters at the end of the drying cycle. This allows for natural air circulation, enhancing the drying process and saving energy compared to conventional drying methods.

Can I wash a small load of dishes?

Yes, the LVS344PM features a 'FlexiZone' option for half loads (½ load), allowing you to wash a reduced amount of dishes efficiently, saving water, energy, and time.

What does the Total Aquastop function do?

Total Aquastop is a safety feature that monitors water levels and detects leaks. If a leak is found in the hose or the machine's base, it immediately shuts off the water supply, preventing potential water damage.

How energy efficient is this dishwasher?

The Smeg LVS344PM has an Energy Efficiency Class of C. It consumes approximately 75 kWh per 100 cycles on the Eco program, and the Dry Assist+ feature can contribute to further energy savings.

What is the warranty for commercial use?

For commercial use, the warranty for the Smeg LVS344PM is valid for a maximum of 5 wash cycles per day.

How much water does a cycle use?

A standard cycle uses approximately 10.5 litres of water.

Troubleshooting

Dishwasher not starting

Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the door is properly closed. Verify that the delay start timer is not active. Check the household circuit breaker.

Dishes are not clean

Ensure the spray arms are not blocked and can rotate freely. Check that the filter is clean and correctly installed. Use the appropriate wash program for the level of soiling. Verify correct loading of dishes, ensuring they do not obstruct spray arms.

Dishes are not drying properly

Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is full. Check that the Dry Assist+ function is enabled. Avoid overcrowding the dishwasher, which can impede drying. Ensure the selected program includes a drying phase.

Water is leaking

Ensure the Total Aquastop system is functioning correctly. Check all hose connections for tightness. Inspect the door seal for damage. If a leak persists, contact customer support.

Dishwasher is making unusual noise

Ensure dishes are loaded correctly and do not rattle against each other or the spray arms. Check that the filter is clean and properly seated. Very heavy items in the lower basket could cause noise; ensure they are stable.

Care:

  • Regular Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Clean the interior, including the door seal, filter, and spray arms, periodically to remove residue. The filter system can often be removed for easier cleaning.
  • Salt & Rinse Aid: Ensure the built-in water softener is topped up with dishwasher salt and the rinse aid dispenser is filled. Warning lights will indicate when levels are low.
  • Filter Maintenance: Clean the filter system regularly to prevent blockages and maintain optimal performance. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on filter removal and cleaning.
