2. Installation and hook-up

Remove the polystyrene basket retainers.

Position the appliance in the desired place of installation. The back or sides of the dishwasher may be placed up against walls or other furniture units. If the dishwasher is installed near a heat source, fit the special insulating panel to prevent overheating and malfunction of the appliance. To ensure stability, install integrated or built-under dishwashers only under continuous worktops, and screw them to the adjacent units. To facilitate the installation procedure, the intake and drain hoses can be positioned in any direction; make sure that the hoses are not kinked, crushed or pulled too tightly. Make sure to tighten the locking ring-nut once the pipes have been placed in the direction required. A hole at least 8 cm in diameter is required to allow the power supply cable and pipes to pass.

SMEG STL825B - Installation and hook-up - 1

Level the appliance on the floor using its adjustable feet. This operation is essential for ensuring correct operation of the dishwasher.

SMEG STL825B - Installation and hook-up - 2

Building-in a dishwasher underneath a ceramic hob is absolutely forbidden.

A dishwasher can be built-in underneath a conventional hob provided there is no break in the kitchen worktop, and the dishwasher and hob are installed and secured correctly, so that no hazards are generated.

When installing the dishwasher in a compartment next to one or more other appliances, it is essential to comply with all the recommendations provided by the appliance's manufacturer (minimum distances, installation procedures, etc.).

SMEG STL825B - Installation and hook-up - 3

Some models are equipped with only one adjustable foot at the rear, which can be adjusted by turning the screw on the lower front part of the appliance.

2.1 Water supply connection

SMEG STL825B - Water supply connection - 1

Preventing the risk of clogging or damage: if the water pipe is new or has not been used for a long time, before connecting to the water supply check that the water is clear and free of impurities, to prevent damage to the appliance.

The dishwasher must always be connected to the water system with new hoses; old or used hoses must never be reused.

CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY

Connect the intake hose to a cold water supply with 34 " gas thread, inserting the filter A supplied with the dishwasher. Take care to screw the hose firmly into place with your hands and then complete by tightening about 14 of a turn with pliers.

In dishwashers equipped with the ACQUASTOP device, the filters is already fitted inside the threaded ring.

SMEG STL825B - CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY - 1

text_image Technical diagram showing two mechanical assembly steps with labeled component A and directional arrow

The dishwasher can also be connected to a hot water supply not exceeding 60^ C. Supplying the appliance with hot water cuts down the washing time by approximately 20 minutes, but slightly reduces its effectiveness. Make the connection to the domestic hot water supply using the same procedure described for connecting to the cold water supply.

SMEG STL825B - CONNECTING TO THE WATER SUPPLY - 2

DRAIN CONNECTION

Insert the dishwasher's drain hose into a drain pipe having a diameter of at least 4 cm, or alternatively, place it inside the kitchen sink using the plastic support provided, taking care not to crush or excessively bend the hose. It is important to prevent the hose from coming loose and falling. For this purpose, the plastic support is equipped with a hole for tying it to the wall or water tap.

SMEG STL825B - DRAIN CONNECTION - 1

text_image MAX 100 cm min 30 cm min Ø4 cm

The free end should be positioned at a height of between 30 and 100 cm, and should never be submerged in water. If a horizontal drain extension hose is used (for a maximum of 3 m) the drain hose can be placed at a maximum height of 85 cm from the ground.

2.2 Electrical connection and precautions

Flexi Tabs

Ideal for multi-function detergents, this option allows washing to be optimised, with full benefits from the combined-action tablets. When this option is activated, any salt and rinse aid in the relative containers will not be used.

If the option is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with conventional washing cycles, combined products might create problems such as a white deposit, poor drying results and residues left on dishes.

N.B.:

When the salt and rinse aid containers are empty, the relative lights will remain on even if the “Flexi Tabs” option is selected.

IMPORTANT:

when no longer required, the option must be deactivated by pressing the relative button (the light goes out).

SMEG STL825B - IMPORTANT: - 1

If the water hardness has been set on a value above H3, and the "Flexi Tbas" option is activated, the relative light flashes, warning of a setting error. Multi-function products are not suitable for use with very "hard" water; this does not prevent the use of the option, but the washing results might not be of the best.

SMEG STL825B - IMPORTANT: - 2

SMEG STL825B - IMPORTANT: - 3

ULTRA CLEAN

The "ULTRA CLEAN" program prolongs the final hot rinse to ensure a further reduction in the bacteria level. If the temperature in the tank falls during this stage of the program (e.g. because the door is opened or due to a power blackout), the light of the option and the program lights (2) flash to warn that the additional washing phase has not been completed successfully. This does not mean that the wash program has been less effective than usual.

SMEG STL825B - ULTRA CLEAN - 1

SPREAD HALF LOAD

Suitable when there are not many dishes to be washed, it saves energy and reduces the program duration. Place dishes in both baskets then load the detergent dispenser than less than the normal amount for a full load.

SMEG STL825B - SPREAD HALF LOAD - 1

DELAYED START

The start of the washing program can be delayed to program the dishwasher to operate at the preferred time of day (e.g. overnight). Press the PROGRAM DELAY button to activate the option and display a 1 hour delay. Keep pressing to select the delay required, which may be up to 9, 12 or 24 hours depending on the model.

When the door is closed, the appliance will prewash the dishes, after which the "program delay" set will come into effect.

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 the detergent directly on the dishes.

SMEG STL825B - TO CUT DOWN ON DETERGENT CONSUMPTION! ... AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT - 1

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.

SMEG STL825B - SWITCHING OFF - 1

To switch off the dishwasher, open the door and press the ON/OFF button (1).

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

Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows:

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

4.1 Using the water softening system

SMEG STL825B - Using the water softening system - 1

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.

The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 41-60°dF - 24-31°dH).

SMEG STL825B - Using the water softening system - 2

text_image SALT

When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately 1.7 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 drps. 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. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from around the opening.

SMEG STL825B - Using the water softening system - 3

  • When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it is also necessary to add one litre of water to the container.
  • 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 the event of this occurring, the warranty will be invalidated.
  • Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely.

SMEG STL825B - Using the water softening system - 4

  • Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system.
  • When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. 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.

SMEG STL825B - Using the water softening system - 5

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

ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

The dishwasher is equipped with a device which allows the softener setting to be varied to suit the hardness of the mains water. The hardness is set using the PROGRAM SELECTION BUTTON (3).

To access the setting function, hold the button down for more than 15 seconds. The WATER HARDNESS ADJUSTMENT INDICATOR LIGHT (4) flashes, while the SELECTED PROGRAM INDICATOR LIGHTS (2) show the current setting. Each pressure on the button changes the setting following the sequence in the table below:

Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.

After adjustment or display of the current setting, simply do not touch the button for a few seconds; the dishwasher will automatically return to standard mode, quitting the adjustment mode.

4.2 Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers

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.

SMEG STL825B - Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a vintage camera with display and control panel (no text or symbols)

SMEG STL825B - Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers - 2

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.

SMEG STL825B - Using the rinse aid and detergent dispensers - 3

ADDING THE RINSE AID

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.

SMEG STL825B - ADDING THE RINSE AID - 1

natural_image Line drawing of a washing machine dial with no text or symbols

To add rinse aid:

  • Open the door.
  • Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by 14 of a turn and remove it.
  • Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc). The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely obscured. Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates.
  • Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction.
  • Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam.

ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING

The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser's selector to the desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the selector position.

  • To adjust the rinse aid setting, rotate the dispenser cap through a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction and remove it.
  • Then use a screwdriver to rotate the rinse aid selector to the desired position.
  • Replace the cap, turning it clockwise.

SMEG STL825B - ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING - 1

  • 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.

ADDING THE DETERGENT

To open the detergent dispenser cap, lightly press the button P. Add the detergent and close the cap carefully.

During the washing cycle, the dispenser will be opened automatically.

SMEG STL825B - ADDING THE DETERGENT - 4

  • When a program with hot prewash is selected (see program table), extra detergent must be placed in the cavity G/H (depending on models).
  • Use only detergents specially formulated for dishwashers. For optimal washing results it is important to use a good quality detergent.
  • 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 formulated for washing dishes by hand, because they produce a great deal of foam and may negatively 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.
  • The market offers liquid and powder detergents with differing chemical compositions, which may contain phosphates, or be phosphate-free but contain natural enzymes.

  • Detergents containing phosphates are more effective against grease and starch at temperatures above 60°C.

  • Enzyme detergents, on the other hand, are also effective at lower temperatures (from 40 to 55°C) and are more easily biodegradable. With enzyme detergents it is possible to obtain at low temperatures comparable results to those which can only be achieved at 65°C using traditional detergents.

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

SMEG STL825B - ADDING THE DETERGENT - 5

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

4.3 General warnings and recommendations

SMEG STL825B - General warnings and recommendations - 1

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.

SMEG STL825B - General warnings and recommendations - 2

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 from 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 a great 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.

4.4 Using the baskets

The dishwasher has a capacity of 13 place-settings, including serving dishes.

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.

SMEG STL825B - LOWER BASKET - 1

CUTLERY BASKET

The basket has removable top grids into which items of cutlery should be inserted to keep them properly spaced and allow water to pass between them effectively. The top grids and central lid are in the bag of accessories. The central lid functions as a lid only.

The top grids can be detached and used separately.

The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner inside the basket, with the handles pointing downwards. Take care during loading to avoid injury from the knife blades. The basket is suitable for all types of cutlery, except those long enough to interfere with the upper spray arm. Ladles, wooden spoons and cooking knives can be placed in the upper basket, making sure that the knife blades do not protrude from the basket.

UPPER BASKET

It is recommended to load the upper basket with small- or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects made from heat resistant plastic. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only slightly 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.

  • 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.

PROLONGED DISUSE:

• Run the soak program twice in succession.
• Unplug the power cord from the socket.
- Leave the door slightly open, in order to prevent the formation of unpleasant odours inside the washing tank.
• Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
- Shut off the water supply tap.

SMEG STL825B - PROLONGED DISUSE: - 1

BEFORE STARTING THE DISHWASHER AFTER PROLONGED DISUSE:

  • Check that there are no deposits of sludge or rust inside the water pipe: if there are, allow the water to run from the water supply tap for a few minutes.
  • Plug the power cord back into the socket.
  • Reconnect the water intake hose and open the tap again.

TROUBLESHOOTING MINOR PROBLEMS

In some cases it is possible to remedy minor problems by referring to the following instructions:

If the program fails to start, check that:

• the dishwasher is connected to the electrical power supply;
• there is no power failure;
• the water tap is open;
• the dishwasher door is properly closed.

If water remains inside the dishwasher, check that:

• the drain hose is not kinked;
• the drain siphon is not obstructed;
• the dishwasher filters are not clogged.

If the dishes are not being cleaned properly, check that:

• the correct amount of detergent has been added;
• there is regenerating salt inside the special container;
• the dishes are being loaded correctly;
- the selected program is suitable for the dish types and their degree of soiling;
• all the filters are clean and positioned correctly;
• the spray arm nozzles are not obstructed;
• there is no object obstructing the rotation of the spray arms.

SMEG STL825B - If the dishes are not being cleaned properly, check that: - 1

If the dishes fail to dry or remain dull, check that:

• there is rinse aid inside the special container;
• the rinse aid dispenser setting is correct;
- the detergent used is of good quality and has not lost its effectiveness (for example, through incorrect storage, with the box left open).

If the dishes show signs of streaking, staining, etc., check that:

• the rinse aid dispenser setting is not too high.

If there are visible traces of rust inside the tank:

  • the tank is made of steel, and therefore any rust marks are due to external elements (fragments of rust from the water pipes, pots, cutlery, etc.). Special products are commercially available to remove such marks;
  • check that the amount of detergent being used is correct. Certain detergents can be more corrosive than others.
  • check that the cap of the salt container is securely closed, and that the water softening setting is correct.

EN-Aquastop safety device

The AQUASTOP is safety device. The aquastop assures that the fresh water hose need only take the stress of water pressure during the actual timer water is flowing. If the hose should begin to leak during this time, the magnetic valve in the water spout cuts off the flow, and the hose is relieved of pressure. Operating pressure DIN 44995.

The valve casing on the water-stop hose contains electrically controlled components. It is should not, therefore, be submersed in water. If the housing becomes damaged the plug must be removed from the soket.
