Product Information

Full details

The Smeg ST323PM is a semi-professional integrated dishwasher designed for users who require efficient and high-coverage cleaning in environments with lower daily use. Its key benefit lies in the patented Planetarium wash system, ensuring sparkling results with every cycle. A potential caveat is its semi-professional nature, meaning it's optimized for specific use cases rather than high-volume commercial settings. Key features include a 14-place setting capacity, 5 wash programs, a delay timer, Dry Assist for energy-efficient drying, FlexiZone for half-load washing, and Total Aquastop for water leak protection. It also offers flexibility in electrical installation, adaptable to 13amp, 20amp, or 32amp supplies.

FAQs

What is the Planetarium wash system?

The Planetarium wash system is a patented Smeg technology that uses 3 wash and rinse arms with a unique, simultaneous double-motion spray arm. This design ensures water reaches all areas inside the dishwasher, providing exceptional cleaning results and efficient water usage.

How does Dry Assist save energy?

Dry Assist enhances natural condenser drying by automatically opening the dishwasher door a few centimeters at the end of the cycle. This allows moist air to escape and dry air to circulate, improving drying efficiency while reducing the need for the heater element, thus saving energy and costs.

Can I wash a small load of dishes?

Yes, the FlexiZone (½ Load) function allows you to wash a reduced load efficiently, saving water, energy, and time. There are no restrictions on where items can be placed when using this mode.

What is the purpose of the Total Aquastop system?

Total Aquastop is a safety feature that electronically monitors the water level and detects leaks. If a leak is detected in the hose or the base of the machine, it immediately shuts off the water supply to prevent any water spillage onto your floor.

How do I set the delay timer?

The delay timer can be set for up to 24 hours. You can use it to schedule the dishwasher to start at a more convenient time, such as overnight, or to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates.

What is the maximum dish size that can fit?

The lower basket can accommodate dishes up to 30 cm in height, while the upper basket can hold items up to 19 cm. The adjustable upper basket height further enhances loading flexibility.

What electrical supply is required?

The ST323PM is fitted with multi-phase electrics. It can be installed on a 13amp, 20amp, or 32amp supply. The unit comes as 3 phase standard and can be changed upon installation by a qualified professional.

What is the noise level of this dishwasher?

This dishwasher operates very quietly, with a noise level of 42 dB(A) during the spinning phase, falling into noise emission class B.

Troubleshooting

Dishwasher not starting

Check if the door is fully closed. Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify that the delay start timer is not activated.

Dishes not clean

Ensure the spray arms are not blocked and can rotate freely. Check if the filters are clean and properly seated. Verify that the correct wash program and temperature have been selected for the level of soiling. Ensure the dishwasher is not overloaded.

Dishes not drying properly

Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is full. Confirm that the Dry Assist function is enabled. Ensure the load does not prevent the door from opening slightly at the end of the cycle. Check if items are placed in a way that water can pool.

Water leakage

Ensure the dishwasher is level. Check all hose connections for tightness. If a leak persists, the Total Aquastop system should engage. Contact a service technician if the issue cannot be resolved.

Error code displayed

Refer to the user manual for a list of error codes and their meanings. Common codes may relate to water supply, drainage, or sensor issues. For persistent errors, contact customer support.

Dishwasher making unusual noise

Check for foreign objects in the filter or spray arms. Ensure dishes are loaded correctly and not rattling against each other or the spray arms. If the noise persists and sounds mechanical, contact a service technician.
