Smeg STA4645U Catalogo

Complete Water Leak Protection

System

All models have an electronic device fitted

to the water intake hose, which monitors

water levels in the machine. It detects leaks

in the hose and switches off the water

supply immediately if necessary.

Self-balancing Door Hinges

Thanks to newly developed

hinges (fitted to every Smeg

dishwasher) the door is always

balanced – it will remain fixed

open at any angle you choose!

Delay Timer

Another standard feature on all Smeg dishwashers

is a delay timer. This feature allows you to select the

required wash program and delay the start of the

cycle for up to a maximum of 12 hours. This way the

dishwasher fits in with your schedule.

Aquatest

All Smeg dishwashers have an aquatest feature. A

specially developed infrared sensor measures the

clarity of the water in the tub at regular intervals and

decides whether to heat the water for the pre-wash

cycle or to move on to heat the water for the wash

cycle. The aquatest feature is incorporated in the

AUTO cycle/s - it keeps consumption of water and

energy to a minimum, depending on the degree of

food soil on the dishes.

Finger-print Proof Stainless Steel

A special coating is applied to the stainless steel to

protect against finger-prints.

Energy Star and ISO14001 Certified

The Smeg production process is carefully managed

in order to keep the impact upon the environment

as low as possible. The process is checked and

certified by Independent International bodies

IQNET and CISQ (Smeg complies with the standard

ISO14001).

All Smeg dishwashers are ENERGY STAR qualified.

Energy efficiency is important to Smeg and our

technicians are constantly working to keep the

energy, and water, consumption of each dishwasher

as low as possible. ENERGY STAR certified products

use less water than conventional dishwashers, and

approximately 40% less energy than the federal

minimum standard for energy consumption. By

choosing an ENERGY STAR certified product you

are helping to preserve the environment without

compromising on product quality or performance.

Sanitation

Every dishwasher in the Smeg series has at least one

wash program that incorporates a final sanitation

rinse. A special final 10 minute rinse at 158°F is

added to the end of certain programs to ensure the

highest possible standards of cleanliness and hygiene.

Smeg dishwashers are ETL sanitation certified.

Hot Water Connection

Smeg dishwashers can be connected to a hot or cold

water pipe.

Wash Cycles

The wash performance is the most important feature

of a Smeg dishwasher. A variety of wash cycles are

available, including Short wash, Super wash, Crystal

wash and even a dish warming option.

Condenser Drying System

The drying system works by re-circulating the hot

air from inside the tub; air is sucked out through

2 openings at the top of the tub and re-enters via

a side opening, providing a hygienic and high

performance dry. As the steam leaves the tank it

is condensed and drained away, meaning that

when you open the dishwasher door after the

cycle has finished, the dishes are perfectly dry

and no steam is released into the room. There is

no vent needed.

Noise Levels

In depth research and attention to detail has enabled Smeg engineers

to create exceptionally quiet dishwashers. The motor and pump are

mounted within a thermoplastic base and encased in special panels

that absorb the noise and vibration. The result is that the noise level

of Smeg dishwashers are as low as 43 dB (A).

Water Softener

Every Smeg dishwasher has an electronic water softener. The

effects of lime-scale are well known – chalky deposits on the

electromechanical parts and on the dishes (in particular on delicate

items) can be a big problem. Smeg have developed a system to

adjust the hardness of the water that enters the dishwasher adjusting

the level of salt in the tub to achieve the dishwasher, the level of salt

in the tub is automatically adjusted to achieve optimum washability.

Concealed Heating Element

Smeg dishwashers heat water quickly by using a concealed water

heater (“through-flow heater”). Water is pumped through a heating

chamber which is located in the base of the dishwasher, outside of the

tub. The heating element is covered and never comes into direct contact

with water making it one of the safest heating methods on the market.

This system means that heat sensitive items – such as plastics – can be

placed in the lower basket without the risk of them melting or being

damaged.

Stainless Steel Tub and Stainless Steel

Filter

All Smeg dishwashers all have a strong

stainless steel tub. A frame construction of

reinforced galvanised steel improves the

stability and the life of the appliance. It is

supported on a solid thermoplastic base

which has been specially designed to absorb

vibration during operation. The filter system on

Smeg dishwashers are also made from stainless

steel, making them very strong and durable.
