3 GENERAL WARNINGS

Leaning or sitting on the open door of the device might cause it to tip over, putting people in
danger. The door is not designed primarily to support loads.

The maximum weight which can be loaded on the door, including the weight of the instrument
rack, must never exceed 30kg.
If the weight of the instrument trolley and baskets is excluded, the maximum processable load
must never exceed 23kg.

For optimal DRYING, the load for processing must never exceed 15 kg.

With use of the appliance, localised or general discolouring of the heating element may occur.
This is normal since it is due to the operating mode and does not reduce the appliance’s
effectiveness.
In the event of malfunction, disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and turn off the
water tap. Then contact your nearest authorised Service Centre.
Open the door carefully, first waiting for the wash cycle to end.
The appliance has an automatic door opening system; do not force the door open while a
program is in progress.
The appliance must only be used by staff suitably trained in its operation.
The tank of the appliance is not designed for users to climb into it. The user must never climb into
the tank; this might put his safety at risk (ref. 7.102 IEC61010-2-040:2005).

Do not place flammable substances inside the appliance. Do not use flammable detergents.

Never place alcohol or solvents such as turpentine, which might cause an explosion, inside the
appliance. Do not place materials dirty with ash, wax or paint inside the appliance.

N.B. - ABSENCE OF DEMINERALISED WATER SUPPLY

If demineralised water is not available, the user is responsible for ensuring that the quality of the
water supplied to the appliance does not cause mineral salts or other substances to be deposited
on the instruments processed, rendering their subsequent use unsafe.

Never touch the heating element immediately after the end of a wash programme.

Do not touch any residual liquids left inside the washing chamber; scalding hazard (ref. 7.102.c
IEC61010-2-040:2005).

4.4 INDICATOR LEDS - DETAILED EXPLANATION

1 - Symbols associated to a warning

SYMBOL

MEANING

Lack of detergent

Lights up if the detergent level sensors are installed and one of them is at "minimum" level.
The warning is displayed at the end of the cycle and, in combination with the LED, the segment
display shows the code of the detergent to which the warning refers:

P1: code “A- : 68”
P2: code “A- : 69”
P3: code “A- : 70”

Activated at the end of the cycle and when the user attempts to start a new program.
The washing cycle can be started with this light on by pressing the Start/Stop button again.
If both alarms are present (cans P1 and P2 both empty), the Start/Stop button has to be pressed
twice to start the cycle. (The appliance’s internal memory records the event).

Replace the can of detergent which is running out with a new can as soon as possible.

Maintenance: filter replacement

For PW4060 series only; active if the dryer is present and the absolute filter is installed. (The
absolute filter is optional). The LED indicates that the absolute filter needs to be replaced.
Operation of the light is triggered by the number of drying operating hours, set at 500h when the
filter is new. The filter must be replaced by Smeg authorised staff.

Appliance maintenance

The appliance counts the number of cycles performed and the LED comes on to alert the user that
maintenance is required.
These are inspection and maintenance operations, scheduled every 1000 cycles, which must be
performed by Smeg authorised staff to keep the appliance safe and in good working order.

No Salt

Salt must be added to the water softener reservoir in the tank.
Salt is necessary to enable the softener to reduce the hardness of the intake water.

Alarm

The machine displays an anomaly, which can be generated by a fault or by the detection of abnormal
conditions. The displays shows the number of the alarm. In the alarms table in this manual, each
code is matched with the components which may have caused the event as an aid to

The program includes a drying phase – Drying LED on.

The program includes a thermal disinfection phase– ”Td” LED on.

NOTE - CYCLE COMPLETION TIMES
The completion times shown on the display are guideline: they may vary due to factors such as

the intake water temperature and pressure.
At the end of each program, a resin regeneration phase may be automatically tripped, followed
by resin washing, to ensure that the integral softener operates correctly. These procedures do
not take place at every cycle but are triggered as needed, depending on the intake water hardness
and the amount of water used.
The procedures are not included in the theoretical cycle time shown initially on the display.
In order for the real times to be close to the theoretical stated times, the appliance parameters
must be set appropriately, so that the time passed is calculated on the basis of the electrical
connection as made.

MAINS WATER - DEMINERALISED WATER in PROGRAMS

The enclosed table indicates when a specific phase takes in cold water and when demineralised
water.

If demineralised water is deselected by means of the appliance setup parameters, the
appliance will always take in cold water.

Whenever possible, connection to demineralised water is recommended, for better final rinsing
results and to avoid the formation of limescale.

4.6.1 RESINS - SOFTENER, REGENERATION AND WASHING PHASE

The softener incorporated in the device removes calcium compounds from the intake water to reduce its hardness.
The softener comprises a container of ion exchanger resins, which must be regenerated regularly.
The appliance decides when a resin regeneration and washing cycle is needed depending on the hardness set and the
quantity of water treated.
Resin regeneration and washing cycles are performed at the start of a washing cycle, to avoid the risk that standing
brine (salt and water) might cause corrosion.

4.6.2 DRYING PHASE

The drying phase is included in the washing cycle, except in programs
“CUSTOM” and “16 Service”.
If the current program includes drying, the respective indicator light turns on.

ADJUSTING THE DRYING SETTINGS

The specific buttons for this function allow the effectiveness of the drying process to be regulated by increasing or
decreasing the total time of this phase. 3 dashes light up on the display if the default drying settings are active, while 2
dashes or 1 dash indicate gradually shorter times.

STANDARD STRUCTURE OF THE DRYING PHASE, IN 3 STEPS

Drying

total time:

t_d = t_1 + t_2 + t_3

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Characteristics:

The fan speed is reduced
(1/4 - 1/2 of full speed) to
aid the controlled venting
of steam from the tank.

Time and temperature
equal to target values set
by the program. Fan at full
speed.

Cooling phase for load and
heating elements.

Duration, with 3 steps

t_1 = 10 minutes

t_2 = target_time

t_3 = 4 minutes

Duration, with 2 steps

t_1 = 10 minutes

t_2 = 0.5 x target_time

t_3 = 4 minutes

Duration, with 1 step

t_1 = 10 minutes

t_2 = 0

t_3 = 4 minutes

Duration, with 0 steps

t_1 = 4 minutes

t_2 = 0

t_3 = 4 minutes

NOTES

The “target time” stated in the table refers to the time specified in the annexed “PROGRAM TABLE” document.
In a standard program, e.g. with drying having t_target=25min, the total time of the phase is calculated as follows:
t_d = t_1 + t_2 + t_3 = 10 + 25 + 4 = 39minutes.
If the final temperature is below 40°C during the last phase of the washing cycle, step 1 is completely omitted, since
there is no need to expel steam: t_1=0.

Target temperature: the temperature value in the program table, which refers to the temperature reached by the
monitoring probe TA in the drying duct. The temperature in the tank during drying is about 30°C below the target
value. For example, for a drying program with T_target=110°C,

T_tank≈ T_target - 30°C = 110°C – 30°C = 80°C.
