Questions
about E2.

Can I clear E2 myself?
Stop the program and switch the dishwasher off. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Does E2 on my Smeg mean water is on the floor?
No, E2 concerns the system that caps the water level inside the tub. A leak onto the floor is reported as E1 instead.
How do I restart my Smeg after an E2 alarm?
Stop the program, switch the machine off, then switch it on, select the program again and start it. If E2 shows once more, arrange a visit.
