Frequently Asked Questions - DI322BQLH SMEG

How do I install the DI322BQLH dishwasher?

Install the dishwasher in a standard 60 cm niche. Connect the water inlet to a cold water supply (max 60°C) and the drain hose to a suitable outlet. Plug into a grounded 220-240 V outlet. Level the appliance using the adjustable feet, then secure it to the adjacent cabinets. For best results, follow the detailed steps in the manual or hire a qualified technician.

What dishwasher programs are available and which one should I use?

This model offers Intensive for heavy pots and pans, Auto for mixed loads, Eco for energy-saving normal loads, Delicate for glasses and light soil, and Quick for lightly soiled dishes. Choose based on soil level and load type. The Eco program is recommended for energy saving when dishes are normally soiled.

How do I clean and maintain the dishwasher filters?

Remove the lower spray arm and the filter assembly at the bottom of the tub. Rinse them under running water, using a soft brush to remove trapped food particles. Check the fine filter for debris and ensure the coarse filter is clean. Wipe the door seals and perform a maintenance cycle with a dishwasher cleaner once a month to keep it fresh and hygienic.

Why is my dishwasher not cleaning dishes properly?

Check for clogged filters or blocked spray arms. Make sure you load dishes correctly, with heavily soiled surfaces facing the spray arms and not nesting together. Verify that the water pressure is sufficient and that detergent is dispensed correctly. Also ensure you are using the appropriate program for the soil level.

Can I use multi-tablets (3-in-1) with this model?

Yes, this dishwasher is compatible with multi-tablets. However, for optimal performance, set the water softener and rinse aid levels according to your water hardness. Some all-in-one tablets require adjustment to the salt and rinse aid settings, so refer to the manual to configure the appliance appropriately.

How do I reset the dishwasher if it shows an error code?

Turn the dishwasher off at the wall switch, wait 10 minutes, then turn it back on. If the error persists, consult the error code table in the manual to identify the issue. Common causes include drainage problems or a blocked filter. If resetting doesn't help, contact Smeg customer service.

What is the recommended way to load dishes for optimal cleaning?

Place large and heavily soiled items on the lower rack, glasses and cups on the upper rack, and cutlery in the basket. Face heavily soiled surfaces downward or toward the spray jets, avoid overlapping, and ensure water can reach all items. Do not block the spray arms with tall objects.

How do I adjust the water softener settings?

Determine local water hardness and set the softening level using the control buttons. Typically, hold a specific button combination (e.g., the P and Start buttons) to enter settings mode, then use the program buttons to select the appropriate level. Refer to the manual for exact instructions and the hardness settings table.

Is a child lock feature available and how to activate it?

Yes, the child lock prevents accidental button presses during operation. Activate it by pressing and holding two designated buttons for about 3 seconds (e.g., the Half Load and Delayed Start buttons) until the indicator lights up. Deactivate in the same way. Always check the manual for the specific button combination.

Where can I find spare parts for my Smeg dishwasher?

Common spare parts such as filters, spray arms, cutlery baskets, and racks can be purchased from Smeg authorized service centers or online parts retailers. For more technical parts like pumps or heaters, contact a certified repair technician. Always use genuine Smeg components to ensure safety and compatibility.

TO SAVE ON ENERGY! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

• If the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations are followed, washing the same number of similarly soiled dishes in a dishwasher consumes less water and energy than if they were washed by hand.
  • Always use the dishwasher with a full load.
• Load the dishwasher as indicated in the instructions manual. If the dishwasher is loaded incorrectly, it may lead to poor results as well as waste water, energy and detergent.
• Do not wash dishes under running water before placing them in the dishwasher. It would just waste water and energy.
• Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load.
• If available, connect the dishwasher to a hot water supply up to 60°C. If the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations are followed, washing the same number of similarly soiled dishes in a dishwasher consumes less water and energy than if they were washed by hand.

TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT

The phosphates contained in dishwasher detergents are harmful to the environment. To avoid using excessive amounts of detergent and to save on electricity, observe the following:

• separate the more delicate items from dishes that are more resistant to aggressive detergents and high temperatures;
  • do not pour detergent directly onto the dishes.

If the door has to be opened while washing is in progress, the program will be interrupted. The relative light will keep flashing and a beeper will signal that the cycle has not been completed. You must wait about 1 minute before closing the door to restart the program. When the door is closed the program will continue from where it was interrupted. This operation should only be carried out if strictly necessary, because it might cause problems in execution of the program.

SWITCHING OFF

At the end of the program the beeper sounds briefly and the lights of programs no. 4 and 5 (marked "end") flash.

To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the ON/OFF button (ON).

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

After 5 minutes of waiting (washing cycle completed, stopped or set but not started) the dishwasher switches off.

REMOVING THE DISHES

At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow them to cool. To ensure that any drops of water left in the top basket cannot drip onto the dishes still in the bottom basket, you are advised always to empty the bottom basket first.

4. Operating instructions

After having installed the dishwasher, remove the basket retainers and prepare the machine for use as follows:

• Regulate the water softening system;
• Add regenerating salt;
• Add rinse aid and detergent.

4.1 Setting the water hardness

• Press and hold the program selection button until the salt light flashes.
  • The program lights (D) / display (G) indicate the current setting.
• Press the program selection button to select the water hardness level.

Depending on the model

After carrying out the adjustment or displaying the current setting, if you do not touch the button for a few seconds the dishwasher will automatically exit from adjustment mode and return to the standard operating mode.

WATER HARDNESS TABLE

WATER HARDNESS		SETTINGS
German degrees (°dH)	French degrees (°dH)
0 – 6 0 – 11		H0	All indicator lights off
7 – 10 12 – 18 H1			One indicator light on
11 – 15 19 – 27 H2			Two indicator lights on
16 – 21 28 – 37 H3			Three indicator lights
22 – 28 38 – 50 H4			Four indicator lights on
29 - 50 51 – 90 H5			Five indicator lights on

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply. Default settings: H3 - 16-21°dH - 28-37°dF

4.2 Adding the salt

The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can cause whitish staining on the dry dishes, which tend to become dull over time. The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water.

When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1 kg of salt in grains. Some models are equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap of the salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be seen through the transparent cap, the container must be topped up with regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher.

The salt prevents the formation of scale deposits.

• Remove the lower basket.
• Unscrew the cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.

- When using the dishwasher for the first time, fill the container with a litre of water.

- Pour salt (approx. 1 kg) into the container using the funnel provided with the dishwasher.

- When finished, remove any salt residues before screwing the cap back on.

In order for the water softening system to give fault-free service, the appliance performs a regeneration cycle of the system at regular intervals.

The regeneration process consists of several stages. It starts at the end of the last rinse cycle, after the amount of water indicated in the mains water hardness setting has been reached during the wash cycle, and finishes at the beginning of the following wash cycle.

The regeneration process increases the cycle time and consumption of water and electricity.

Below is an overview of consumption of regeneration the softening system using the Eco program with a water hardness setting of H2.

Water consumption according to model [refer to the programs table] (litres)	Regeneration frequency (number of cycles)	Water consumption during regeneration (litres)		Energy consumption during regeneration (Wh)		Duration of the regeneration process (min)
		At the end of the last rinse	At the beginning of the following wash cycle	At the end of the last rinse	At the beginning of the following wash cycle	At the end of the last rinse	At the beginning of the following wash cycle
7 8		0.2	4 (10x0.4 litres)	0.3 1	2 6 4

• Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that the cap is securely closed. The mixture of water and detergent must never penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation of the regeneration system. In this case warranty cover will be forfeited.
• Only use regeneration salt specifically for domestic dishwashers. Do not use table salt, since it contains insoluble substances that could damage the water softener system.
• After having added salt, run a wash cycle to remove any excess salt. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion.

Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.

4.3 Adding the rinse aid

The detergent and rinse aid

dispensers are situated on the inner part of the door: the detergent dispenser is on the left, and the rinse aid dispenser is on the right.

The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and prevents the formation of scale deposits and staining; it is automatically added to the water during the final rinse cycle, from the container situated on the inner side of the door.

To add rinse aid:

• Open the dispenser by pressing and lifting the tab on the cover.
• Top up again when the rinse aid indicator light turns on.
• Close the cover, a click indicates when it is closed.
• Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam.

Adjusting the rinse aid dispenser mode

• Press and hold the program selection button, after approximately 15 seconds the salt light flashes, keep it pressed until the rinse aid light.
  • The program lights (D) / display (G) indicate the current setting.
• Then press the program selection button several times to select the required dosage.

Depending on the model

After carrying out the adjustment or displaying the current setting, if you do not touch the button for a few seconds the dishwasher will automatically exit from adjustment mode and return to the standard operating mode.

RINSE AID ADJUSTMENT TABLE

0 – not dispensed	b0	All indicator lights off
minimum 2 ml	b1	One indicator light on
3 ml	b2	Two indicator lights on
4ml	b3	Three indicator lights on
5ml	b4	Four indicator lights on
maximum 6 ml	b5	Five indicator lights on

Default settings: b4 - 5 ml

• The amount of rinse aid must be increased if the washed dishes appear dull or feature circular stains.
• If, on the other hand, the dishes are sticky or have white streaks, it is necessary to reduce the rinse aid setting.

4.4 Adding the detergent

• Open the detergent dispenser cover by lightly pressing the button P.
• Add the detergent or tablet.
• Close the cover by sliding it until it stops, indicated by a click. The dispenser will open automatically during the wash cycle.
  Only add the detergent or tablet if the dispenser is dry.

With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser. The rinse aid, on the other hand, should only be added as required.

• When a program with a hot pre-wash is selected (see program table), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity.
  • Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers.
• The detergent packs must be sealed and stored in a dry place to prevent the formation of lumps which may negatively affect washing results. Once opened the detergent packs should not be kept for too long, otherwise the detergent loses its effectiveness.
• Do not use detergents for washing dishes by hand because they may affect the operation of the dishwasher.
• Add the correct amount of detergent. An insufficient amount of detergent will result in a partial removal of dirt from the dishes, whereas an excessive amount is wasteful and does not improve the washing results.

For the safeguarding of the environment we recommend the use of phosphate- and chlorine free detergents.

The introduction of detergent into the rinse aid dispenser, even in liquid form, will damage the dishwasher.

4.5 General warnings and recommendations

Before using the dishwasher for the first time, it is advisable to read the following recommendations concerning dish types to be washed and their loading.

There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account.

Before loading the dishes into the baskets it is necessary to:

• remove coarse food remains: e.g. bones, fish-bones, etc. which may clog the filter or damage the wash pump.
• soak any pots or pans with burnt-on food remains on the bottom to facilitate removal, then load them into the lower basket.

There is no need to pre-wash the dishes under running water before loading them into the baskets since this only wastes water.

Correct loading of the dishes helps ensure optimal washing results

WARNING!

• Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle.
• Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump.
• Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
• Do not stack dishes or place them in such a way that they cover one other.
• Do not place glasses too close together because they may knock against each other and break, or there might be staining at the point where they touch.

MAKE SURE that the items being washed are dishwasher-safe.

Items which are not dishwasher-safe:

• Wooden dishes, pots or pans: these may be damaged by the high washing temperatures.
• Handcrafted items: these are rarely suitable for washing in a dishwasher. The relatively high water temperatures and the detergents used may damage them.
• Plastic dishes: heat resistant plastic dishes must be washed in the upper basket.
• Dishes and objects in copper, tin, zinc or brass: these tend to stain.
• Aluminium dishes: items made of anodised aluminium may lose their colour.
  • Silverware: silver items may stain.
• Glass and crystal: in general, glass and crystal objects can be washed in the dishwasher. However, certain types of glass and crystal may become dull and lose their clearness after many washings. Therefore, for these items we recommend using the least aggressive program available.
• Decorated items: the decorated objects available on the market are generally able to withstand washing in the dishwasher, although the colours may fade after many washes. If in doubt as to the fastness of the colours, it is advisable to wash just a few items at a time for approximately one month.

4.6 Using the baskets

Capacity, including serving dishes: 12 or 13 place settings depending on model (see energy label).

LOWER BASKET

The lower basket receives the full force of the lower spray arm, and should therefore be used for the "toughest" items with a heavier degree of soiling.

All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom.

With fixed supports

To make the most of the space inside the basket when loading large items, certain models are equipped with tip-up supports for plates in 2 or 4 sections.

With tip-up supports

BOTTOM BASKET INSERTS

Some models are equipped with bottom basket inserts which improve the drying of dishes. The inserts are supplied in the accessories bag; to use them, simply fit them into place as shown. The inserts are supplied in the accessories bag; to use them, simply fit them into place as shown.

LOADING THE LOWER BASKET

Carefully load flat plates, soup plates, dessert and serving dishes, positioning them vertically. Pots, pans and their covers must be loaded upside down. When loading soup plates and dessert bowls, be sure to leave a gap between them.

Loading examples:

UPPER BASKET

The upper basket should be loaded with small or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates and saucers, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only lightly soiled.

LOADING THE UPPER BASKET

Load plates facing forward; cups, bowls etc. must always be facing downwards. The left side of the basket can be loaded with cups and glasses on two levels. In the centre section, plates and saucers can be loaded vertically into the supports provided.

Loading examples:

CUTLERY BASKET (on some models only)

The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except long items that may interfere with the upper spray arm. The cutlery should be arranged in the spaces in the upper racks to allow the water to pass effectively between the items.

Forks and spoons should be positioned with the handle facing downwards, taking care not to injure yourself with the prongs of the forks. Knives should be placed in the tray on the upper rack or in the cutlery drawer, if present (depending on the model), otherwise position them with the handles facing upwards.

Ladies, wooden spoons and kitchen knives can be placed on the upper rack, making sure that the blades of the knives do not protrude from the basket. The upper racks can be opened in order to insert, for example, small items.

The cutlery basket slides across the dishwasher and can be placed in any position to allow optimal use of the space in the bottom basket.

TOP CUTLERY BASKET (on some models only)

The basket is designed to take cutlery, placed in the spaces provided, and long utensils, positioned lengthwise.

The “drawer” extraction system makes the basket easier to load, but it can also be taken completely off its runners by removing the retainers (as shown here).

Take great care to replace the retainers to ensure that the basket does not come off the runners accidentally.

FLEXIDUO TOP CUTLERY BASKET (on some models only)

This comprises two independent sliding, pull-out tray racks for easier loading/unloading of cutlery. Various loading systems and configurations are possible. For example, tea cups can be loaded with the right-hand rack set in the low position, while the left-hand rack or both can be removed to allow large dishes to be put in the top basket.

EXAMPLES OF LOADING FOR INTENSIVE DIRT

12 standard place setting

If the bottom basket inserts are of the fold-down type, they should be laid flat for easier loading.

13 standard place setting

If the bottom basket inserts are of the fold-down type, they should be laid flat for easier loading.

13 standard place setting TOP CUTLERY BASKET (on some models only)

If the bottom basket inserts are of the fold-down type, they should be laid flat for easier loading.

Cutlery tray

For knives, spoons (tea and dessert) and long objects. The ends are designed to hold long stemmed glasses.

• It can be removed by pressing and pushing the release levers (B) at the same time.
• It has to be lowered if the upper basket is in the topmost position. Press the catches (G) simultaneously.

Fold-down shelves

For mugs, cups and long objects. The ends are designed to hold lc stemmed glasses

When not used they can be moved to a vertical position (until a click is heard).

Shelves with expandable wings

For small objects, mugs and cups.

They can be used either closed or open (pull the upper, sliding part). To close them, press the release device (S) and slide them downwards.

The ends are designed to hold long stemmed glasses (even when closed). When not used they can be moved to a vertical position (until a click is heard).

Fold-down tines

These can be secured in a vertical position, resting on the bottom of the basket if unused, or placed in an intermediate position, as required. The single tine on the right is ideal for supporting long stemmed glasses

ADJUSTING THE UPPER BASKET

The height of the top basket can be adjusted to allow large dishes or pans to be placed in the bottom basket. The adjustment procedure may be type A or B, depending on the dishwasher model purchased.

Version A: pull-out with adjustment in two positions.

• Pull out both the basket guides.
• Remove the stops, first releasing them as shown in the diagram.
• Pull out the basket.
• Fit the upper or lower pair of wheels into the guide, depending on the setting required;
• Return the stops to their original position.

The left hand and right hand sides of the basket must always be set at the same height.

Version B: with adjustment in three positions on both sides.

The sides of the basket must always be set at the same height.

• Raise the basket by pulling on the top edge (1), to the first or second catch depending on the height required.
• To lower the basket, first release it by pulling the release lever (2). Adjustment is also possible with the basket loaded, but in this case when lowering the basket it should be held steady with one hand to avoid knocking the dishes.

5. Cleaning and maintenance

Before carrying out any work, always unplug the appliance from the electrical supply or switch off the omnipolar circuit breaker.

5.1 General warnings and recommendations

Avoid the use of acidic or abrasive detergents.

Clean the outer surfaces and door-lining of the dishwasher regularly using a soft cloth moistened with water or with a normal detergent suitable for painted surfaces. Clean the door gaskets with a damp sponge.

Periodically (once or twice a year) it is advisable to clean the tank gaskets using a soft cloth and water to remove any deposits.

If the dishwasher is used every day, we recommend cleaning the chamber and the water circuit monthly using a product that is specific for domestic dishwashers.

CLEANING THE WATER INTAKE FILTER

The water filter at the inlet to the intake hose should be cleaned periodically. Close the water supply tap, unscrew the water intake hose and make sure that the filter at the inlet to the hose is not dirty or clogged (the filter cannot be removed from the hose). Remove any dirt with a damp cloth or a non-metallic brush. Screw the hose back on. We recommend that you inspect and clean it, if necessary, at least once a year.

CLEANING THE SPRAY ARMS

If the dishwasher is used every day, we recommend that you clean it once a week. The spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, to prevent possible clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that their rotary movement is in no way impeded.

To remove the upper spray arm, unscrew locking ring R.

- To remove the lower spray arm, simply lift it up, pulling by the central part.

- To remove the orbital spray arm assembly, take hold of the longer arm and pull the orbital unit upward. Wash the arms under a jet of running water and return them carefully to their seat. After reassembly, check that the spray arms turn freely. Otherwise, check that they have been installed correctly.

- To remove and clean the planetarium sprayer follow the instructions provided.

CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT

If the dishwasher is used every day, we recommend that you clean it once a week.

- It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter C and, if necessary, to clean it. To remove the filter, grip the tabs, turn them anticlockwise and lift upwards;

- push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the microfilter:

- separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows;

- remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.

CLEANING THE FILTER UNIT (models with planetarium sprayer)

If the dishwasher is used every day, we recommend that you clean it once a week.

• It is advisable to periodically inspect the centre filter and, if necessary, to clean it.
• remove the planetarium sprayer follow the instructions provided.
• push the centre filter D from the underside to remove it from the microfilter:
• separate the two parts which make up the plastic filter by pressing the body of the filter in the zone shown by the arrows;
• remove the centre filter by lifting it upwards.

GENERAL WARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT MAINTENANCE:

• The filters should be cleaned under running water using a stiff brush.
• When removing the filter, take care that there are no food residues on it. If any residues fall into the washing pit they might block hydraulic components, or foul the spray arm nozzles.
• It is essential to thoroughly clean the filters according to the above instructions: the dishwasher cannot function if the filters are clogged.

• Carefully replace the filters in their seats, to avoid damaging the wash pump.

WARNING: any operations performed on the appliance by unauthorised persons are not covered by the warranty and shall be paid for by the user.

7. Troubleshooting

The dishwasher is capable of signalling a number of faults through the simultaneous illumination of several indicator lights, with the following meanings:

Light off
Light on

Light flashing

If an alarm occurs, the machine stops the current program and indicates the fault.

• Alarms E1 and E11 require you to contact the technical assistance service.
• Alarm E7 is displayed at the end of the cycle, which is anyway completed, as it does not affect the operation of the dishwasher.

For all other alarms, proceed as follows: stop the current program, switch off the dishwasher. Switch on and program the dishwasher again to start the new wash cycle.

If the malfunction persists, contact your authorised Service Centre and provide it with the fault code.

The contact details of the Technical Assistance Department can be found on the warranty certificate and the website

The manufacturer reserves the right to make any changes deemed necessary for the improvement of its products without prior notice.
