Need help?Do you have a question about the Smeg ST4522IN and is the answer not in the manual?
This document serves as a comprehensive user manual for the Smeg ST4522IN Dishwasher, providing essential information on its function, usage, and maintenance.
The Smeg ST4522IN is a household dishwasher designed for cleaning crockery, cutlery, pots, and pans. It operates by automatically adjusting wash cycles based on the type and degree of soil, aiming for efficient use of energy and water. The appliance features a water softener system to remove minerals from the water supply, which can negatively impact washing results and the appliance itself. This system requires regular salt refills, indicated by a dedicated salt indicator. For optimal drying, the dishwasher incorporates a rinse aid dispenser, which releases rinse aid during the hot rinse phase to prevent streaks and stains. A rinse aid indicator signals when a refill is needed. The appliance also includes a "Self Clean" programme specifically designed to clean the interior, removing limescale and grease buildup, with an indicator to signal when this cleaning is necessary.
The dishwasher offers a variety of programmes tailored to different load types and soil levels. These include:
Users can delay the start of a selected programme by 3 hours. The appliance also features a "Dry Assist" function, which automatically opens the door during the drying phase to improve drying results. This function is automatically activated for all programmes except "Soak". An "Auto Off" function saves energy by switching the appliance off automatically when a programme is completed or after 5 minutes of inactivity.
The control panel includes an On/Off / Reset button, a Delay start button, indicators for rinse aid, salt, Self Clean, and drying phase, as well as programme buttons. Basic settings can be configured, including water hardness level (from 1 to 10), rinse aid level (from 0 to 8), end sound activation/deactivation, Dry Assist activation/deactivation, and key tones activation/deactivation. The water softener level should be adjusted according to the local water hardness to ensure good washing results and proper regeneration of the softener device. The rinse aid level can be adjusted to control the quantity released, and it can be deactivated if multi-tablets provide satisfactory drying results.
For loading, it is recommended to use the whole space of the baskets and only wash dishwasher-safe items. Hollow items should be placed with openings facing downwards, and items should not touch each other to allow water to reach all surfaces. Cutlery and small items should be placed in the cutlery basket. Before starting a programme, users should ensure filters are clean, the salt container cap is tight, spray arms are not clogged, and there is sufficient salt and rinse aid (unless using multi-tablets).
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of the dishwasher.
Before any maintenance operation (other than running the Self Clean programme), the appliance must be deactivated and disconnected from the mains socket. The manual also provides troubleshooting guidance for common issues such as the appliance not activating, programmes not starting, water filling problems, drainage issues, anti-flood device activation, and various malfunctions indicated by flashing programme buttons and acoustic signals. It also addresses issues related to unsatisfactory washing and drying results, such as streaks, stains, foam, rust, and detergent residues. For problems not covered in the manual or persistent issues, users are advised to contact an Authorised Service Centre.
