Frequently Asked Questions - LTB 4B019 EU HOTPOINT

How do I start a wash cycle?

Turn on the water tap, open the door, press the ON/OFF button, measure detergent, load racks, select a cycle using the P button, and close the door to start.

What detergent should I use?

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid. For normally soiled dishes, use about 35 g powder or 35 ml liquid, or one tablet. Adjust amount based on soil level.

How do I adjust the upper rack height?

With the upper rack empty, lift it up by holding its sides (if equipped with Lift-Up device) or press the levers (A) on the sides to lower it. Never adjust on one side only.

Why are my dishes not drying properly?

Ensure rinse aid is filled and the dosage is correct. Select a cycle with drying. Check that the rinse aid setting is appropriate (increase if water drops appear, decrease if streaks). Non-stick or plastic items may retain water.

How do I clean the filters?

Regularly clean the filter assembly: turn cylindrical filter C anticlockwise and remove, remove cup filter B by pressing side flaps, slide out stainless steel plate filter A. Rinse under running water with a soft brush. Reassemble correctly.

What does the 'LOW SALT' indicator mean?

It indicates that the salt dispenser needs refilling. Open the salt dispenser cap, pour in about 1 kg of refined salt (first time fill with water), and tighten the cap. Adjust water hardness setting if needed.

How do I set the water hardness?

Switch off the dishwasher. Press and hold the P button until a beep, then switch on. Use P button to select hardness level (1-4) based on your water hardness table. Press ON/OFF to save.

Can I open the door during a cycle?

Yes, but be careful of escaping steam. The cycle will pause and resume when the door is closed. If there is a power cut, the cycle resumes automatically.

Why is the dishwasher not taking in water?

Check that the water tap is open and the inlet hose is not bent. The water inlet filter at the tap may be clogged. Turn off the tap, unscrew the hose, clean the filter, and reconnect. If the alarm sounds, reset by switching off and on.

What items should not be washed in the dishwasher?

Avoid wooden items, delicate decorated glassware, copper/tin items, and items soiled with ash, wax, grease, or ink. Also, some plastics may not withstand high temperatures.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

Saving water and energy

Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours using the Soak cycle (see Wash cycles).

- Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of crockery and to the soil level of the crockery using the Table of wash cycles:

- for dishes with a normal soil level use the Eco wash cycle, which ensures low energy/water consumption levels.

- If the load is smaller than usual activate the Half Load option* (see Start-up and use).

- If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity-saving time bands, run wash cycles when electricity prices are lower. The Delayed Start button * (see Start-up and use) helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly.

Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents containing enzymes

• We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are harmful to the environment.
• Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at temperatures around 50° C. As a result, detergents containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same results as a normal 65° C wash cycle.
• To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on manufacturer's recommendations, the hardness of the water, the soil level and the qua of crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances which may alter the balance of nature.

Assistance

Before contacting Assistance:

• Check whether the problem can be resolved using the Troubleshooting guide (see Troubleshooting).
• Restart the programme to check whether the problem has ceased to exist.
• If the problem persists, contact the Authorised Technical Assistance Service.

Never use the services of unauthorised technicians.

Please have the following information to hand:

• The type of malfunction.
• The appliance model (Mod.).
• The serial number (S/N).
This information can be found on the appliance data plate (see Description of the appliance).

If the appliance must be moved at any time, keep it in an upright position; if absolutely necessary, it may be tilted onto its back.

Positioning and levelling

1. Remove the appliance from all packaging and check that it has not been damaged during transportation. If it has been damaged, contact the retailer and do not proceed any further with the installation process.
2. Arrange the dishwasher so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop ^* (see the Assembly Instruction sheet.)
3. Position the dishwasher on a level sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance should be adjusted until it reaches a horizontal position. If the appliance is levelled correctly, it will be more stable and much less likely to move or cause vibrations and noise while it is operating.
   4*. To adjust the height of the rear foot, turn the red hexagonal bushing on the lower central part at the front of the dishwasher using a hexagonal spanner with an opening of 8 mm. Turn the spanner in a clockwise direction to increase the height and in an anticlockwise direction to decrease it (see Building-in Instruction sheet attached to the documentation.)

Connecting the water and electricity supplies

Connection to the water and electricity supplies should only be performed by a qualified technician.
The dishwasher should not stand on the water hoses or electricity supply cable.
The appliance must be connected to the water supply network using new hoses.

Do not use old piping.

The water inlet and outlet hoses and the electricity supply cable may be positioned towards the right or the left in order to achieve the best possible installation.

Connecting the water inlet hose

• To a suitable cold water connection point: before attaching the hose, run the water until it is perfectly clear so that any impurities that may be present in the water do not clog the appliance; after performing this operation, screw the inlet hose tightly onto a tap with a 34 gas threaded connection.
• To a suitable hot water connection point: your dishwasher may be supplied with hot water from the mains supply (if you have a central heating system with radiators) provided that it does not exceed a temperature of 60° C.
  ⚠️ Screw the hose to the tap as described for connection to a cold water supply.
  ⚠️ If the inlet hose is not long enough, contact a specialist store or an authorised technician (see Assistance.)
  The water pressure must be within the values indicated in the Technical Data table (see adjacent information.)

The hose should not be bent or compressed.

Connecting the water outlet hose

Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4 cm.

The outlet hose must be at a height ranging from 40 to 80 cm from the floor / surface where the dishwasher rests (A).

Before connecting the water outlet hose to the sink drain, remove the plastic plug (B).

Anti-flooding protection

To ensure floods do not occur, the dishwasher: - is provided with a special system which blocks the water supply in the event of anomalies or leaks from inside the appliance. Some models are also equipped with the supplementary safety device New Acqua Stop ^* , which guarantees anti-flooding protection even in the event of a supply hose rupture.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE!

Under no circumstances should the water inlet hose be cut, as it contains live electrical parts.

Electrical connection

Before inserting the plug into the electrical socket, make sure that:

• The socket is earthed and complies with current regulations.
• the socket can withstand the maximum load of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the inside of the door
  (see Description of the appliance);

- The power supply voltage falls within the values indicated on the data plate on the inside of the door.

- The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If this is not the case, ask an authorised technician to replace the plug (see Assistance); do not use extension cables or multiple sockets.

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket should be easily accessible.
The cable should not be bent or compressed.
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its Technical Assistance Service in order to prevent all potential hazards (see Assistance.)

Anti-condensation strip\*

After installing the dishwasher, open the door and stick the adhesive transparent strip under the wooden shelf in order to protect it from any condensation which may form.

Advice regarding the first wash cycle

After the installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining elastic elements from the upper rack, if any. Immediately before the first washing, completely fill the salt dispenser with water and add only then approximately 1 kg of salt (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). The water may overflow: this is normal and is not a cause for concern. Select the water hardness value (see chapter entitled Rinse aid and refined salt). - After the salt has been poured into the machine, the LOW SALT indicator light* switches off.

⚠️ If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating element may be damaged as a result.

The machine has a buzzer/set of tones (depending on the dishwasher model) to inform the user that a command has been implemented: power on, cycle end etc.

The symbols/indicator lights/LEDs on the control panel/display may vary in colour and may have a flashing or fixed light (depending on the dishwasher model).

The display provides useful information concerning the type of wash cycle, drying/wash-cycle phase, remaining time, temperature etc etc.

Tips

Before loading the racks, remove all food residues from the crockery and empty liquids from glasses and containers. No preventive rinsing is needed under running water.

Arrange the crockery so that it is held in place firmly and does not tip over; and arrange the containers with the openings facing downwards and the concave/convex parts placed obliquely, thus allowing the water to reach every surface and flow freely.

Make sure that the lids, handles, trays and frying pans do not prevent the sprayer arms from rotating. Place any small items in the cutlery basket.

Since plastic dishes and non-stick frying pans usually retain more water drops, their drying will be not so good as that of ceramic or stainless-steel dishes.

Lightweight items such as plastic containers should be placed in the upper rack and arranged so that they cannot move.

After loading the appliance, make sure that the sprayer arms can rotate freely.

Lower rack

The lower rack can hold pans, lids, dishes, salad bowls, cutlery etc. Large plates and lids should ideally be placed at the sides.

Before loading the tray, make sure the supports are properly coupled to the upper rack (see Figure).

The upper rack can be adjusted for height based on requirements: high position to place bulky crockery in the lower rack and low position to make the most of the tip-up compartments/sectors by creating more space upwards.

Adjusting the height of the upper rack

In order to make it easier to arrange the crockery, the upper rack may be moved to a higher or lower position.

The height of the upper rack should be adjusted WHEN THE RACK IS EMPTY.

NEVER raise or lower the rack on one side only.

If the rack is equipped with a Lift-Up device* (see figure), lift it up by holding its sides. To restore the lower position, press the levers (A) at the sides of the rack and follow the rack down.

Unsuitable crockery

• Wooden crockery and cutlery.
- Delicate decorated glasses, artistic handicraft and antique crockery. Their decorations are not resistant.
- Parts in synthetic material which do not withstand high temperatures.

• Copper and tin crockery.

• Crockery soiled with ash, wax, lubricating grease or ink.

The colours of glass decorations and aluminium/silver pieces can change and fade during the washing process. Some types of glass (e.g. crystal objects) can become opaque after a number of wash cycles too.

Damage to glass and crockery

Caused by:

• Type of glass and glass production process.
• Chemical composition of detergent.
• Water temperature of rinse cycle.

Tips:

• Only use glasses and porcelain guaranteed by the manufacturer as dishwasher safe.
  • Use a delicate detergent suitable for crockery.
• Collect glasses and cutlery from the dishwasher as soon as the wash cycle is over.

Starting the dishwasher

1. Turn the water tap on.
2. Open the door and press the ON/OFF button.
3. Measure out the detergent. (see adjacent information).
4. Load the racks (see Loading the racks).
5. Select the wash cycle in accordance with the type of crockery and its soil level (see Table of wash cycles) by pressing the P button.
6. Select the wash options*. (see Special wash cycles and Options).
7. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door.
8. The end of the wash cycle is indicated by beeps and by the flashing of the indicator light of the selected wash cycle. Open the door, switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, shut off the water tap and unplug the appliance from the electricity socket.
9. Wait a few minutes before removing the crockery in order to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level.

- The machine will switch off automatically during long periods of inactivity in order to minimise electricity consumption.

If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.

Changing a wash cycle in progress

If a mistake was made in the wash cycle selection process, it is possible to change the cycle provided that it has only just begun: open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and press and hold the ON/OFF button; the machine will switch off. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the new wash cycle and any options desired; start the cycle by closing the door.

Adding extra crockery

Without switching off the machine, open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Close the door: the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.

Accidental interruptions

If the door is opened during the wash cycle or there is a power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or the electricity supply restored.

Measuring out the detergent

A good wash result also depends on the correct amount of detergent being used. Exceeding the stated amount does not result in a more effective wash and increases environmental pollution.

Based on how soiled the items are, the amount can be adjusted to individual cases using powder or liquid detergent.

In the case of normally soiled items, use approximately either 35 gr (powder detergent) or 35 ml (liquid detergent). If tablets are used, one tablet will be enough.

If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.

For good washing results also follow the instructions shown on the detergent box.

For further questions please ask the detergent producers' Advice Offices.

To open the detergent dispenser use the opening device "A".

Introduce the detergent into the dry dispenser "B" only. Place the amount of detergent for pre-washing directly inside the tub.

1. When measuring out the detergent refer to the Table of wash cycles to add the proper quantity. Compartment B comprises a level showing the maximum quantity of liquid or powder detergent that can be added to each cycle.
2. Remove detergent residues from the edges of the dispenser and close the cover until it clicks.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser by pulling it up until the closing device is secured in place.
   The detergent dispenser automatically opens up at the right time according to the wash cycle.

If all-in-one detergents are used, we recommend using the TABS option, because it adjusts the cycle so that the best washing and drying results are always achieved.

Only use detergent which has been specifically designed for dishwashers.

DO NOT USE washing-up liquid.

Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.

The use of tablets is only recommended for models which offer the MULTI-FUNCTIONAL TABLETS option.

To achieve the best results from each washing and drying cycle, powder detergent, liquid rinse aid and salt should be used.

Wash-cycle data is measured under laboratory conditions according to European Standard EN 50242. Based on the different conditions of use, the wash-cycle duration and data can change.

The number and type of wash cycles and options may vary depending on the dishwasher model.

*Cycle data refers to the values recorded in a laboratory in accordance with European standard EN 50242.
** Data is obtained by recording values when the appliance is operational and loaded with user crockery.

Only use products which have been specifically designed for dishwashers.

Do not use table/industrial salt or washing-up liquid. Follow the instructions given on the packaging.

If using a multi-functional product it is not necessary to add any rinse aid. However, we recommend that you add salt, especially if you live in an area where the water is hard or very hard. (Follow the instructions given on the packaging).

If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and LOW RINSE AID indicator lights will stay lit.

Measuring out the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off the surfaces more readily and therefore does not leave streaks or marks. The rinse aid dispenser should be filled:

- When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light ^* on the control panel is illuminated, a reserve supply of rinse aid is still available for 1-2 cycles;

Illustration of a hand holding a tool interacting with a device (no text or symbols visible)

1. Open the dispenser "D" by pressing and pulling up the tab on the lid;
2. Carefully introduce the rinse aid as far as the maximum reference notch of the filling space - avoid spilling it. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
3. Press the lid down until you hear a click to close it.

NEVER pour the rinse aid directly into the appliance tub.

Adjusting the amount of rinse aid

If you are not completely satisfied with the drying results, you can adjust the quantity of rinse aid.

Switch the dishwasher on and off using the On/Off button. Press the P button 3 times. Switch on using the ON/OFF button, the indicator light of the set level flashes (set to factory level) Adjust the level of rinse aid supply using the P button; during this procedure the rinse aid indicator light flashes.

Press the ON/OFF button to save the setting.

If the rinse aid level is set to ZERO (ECO cycle), no rinse aid will be supplied. The LOW RINSE AID indicator light will not be lit if you run out of rinse aid.

Up to maximum 4 levels can be set based on the dishwasher model.

• If there are streaks on the crockery, set to a low number (1-2).
• In case of drops of water or limescale marks, set to a high number number (3-4).

Setting the water hardness

Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by using refined salt specially designed for this type of appliance, supplies water without limescale which is then used to wash the crockery.

This dishwasher offers a setting which helps to reduce pollution and optimises washing performance in accordance with the water hardness level in your area. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier.

Switch the dishwasher on and off using the ON/OFF button. Press and hold the P button for a few seconds until you hear a beep sound. Switch the dishwasher on using the ON/OFF button, the indicator light of the set level flashes (water softener set to medium level).

During this procedure the salt indicator light flashes.

Adjust the hardness level using the P button, (1-2-3-4 see water hardness table) up to max. 4 levels.

Press the ON/OFF button to save the setting.

Even if using multi-functional tablets, the salt dispenser should still be filled.

For values between 0°f and 10°f, we do not recommend the use of salt.* this setting may cause a slight increase in the duration of the cycles. ** for 1 wash cycle per day.

(°dH = hardness measured in German degrees - °f = hardness measured in French degrees - mmol/l = millimoles per litre)

Measuring out the refined salt

In order to obtain the best possible results from a wash cycle, make sure that the salt dispenser is never empty.

Refined salt removes limescale from the water, thus avoiding the formation of deposits on crockery.

The salt dispenser is located in the lower part of the dishwasher (see Description) and should be filled:

- When the green float ^* cannot be seen by simply looking at the cap of the salt dispenser;

• When the LOW RINSE AID indicator light on the control panel is illuminated *;
• Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap (anticlockwise).
• The first time you do this: fill the water tank right up to its edge.
• Position the funnel* (see figure) and fill the salt dispenser up to the edge

(approximately 1 kg). It is normal for a little water to leak out.

1. Remove the funnel* and wipe any salt residues away from the opening; rinse the cap under running water and then screw it on, the head facing downwards so as to let the water flow out of the four slots (star-shaped arrangement) in the lower part of the cap (cap with green float*).

It is advisable to perform this procedure every time you add salt to the dispenser.

Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly so that no detergent can get into the container during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softener beyond repair).

When necessary, measure out the salt before a wash cycle so that any saline solution which has leaked out of the salt dispenser is removed.

Shutting off the water and electricity supplies

• Turnoff the water tap after every wash cycle to avoid leaks.
- Always unplug the appliance when cleaning it and when performing maintenance work.

Cleaning the dishwasher

• The external surfaces of the machine and the control panel can be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.
• Anymarks on the inside of the appliance may be removed using a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.

Preventing unpleasant odours

• Always keep the door of the appliance ajar in order to avoid moisture from forming and being trapped inside the machine.
• Clean the seals around the door and detergent dispensers regularly using a damp sponge. This will avoid food becoming trapped in the seals, which is the main cause behind the formation of unpleasant odours.

Cleaning the sprayer arms

Food residue may become encrusted onto the sprayer arms and block the holes used to spray the water. It is therefore recommended that you check the arms from time to time and clean them with a small non-metallic brush. The two sprayer arms may both be removed.

To remove the upper sprayer arm, turn the plastic locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper sprayer arm should be replaced so that the side with the greater number of holes is facing upwards.

The lower sprayer arm can be removed by pressing on the side tabs and pulling it upwards.

Cleaning the water inlet filter\*

If the water hoses are new or have not been used for an extended period of time, let the water run to make sure it is clear and free of impurities before performing the necessary connections. If this precaution is not taken, the water inlet could become blocked and damage the dishwasher.

Clean the water inlet filter at the tap outlet regularly.

• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the end of the water inlet hose, remove the filter and clean it carefully under running water.
• Re-place the filter and screw the water hose back into position.

Cleaning the filters

The filter assembly consists of three filters which remove food residues from the washing water and then recirculate the water. They should be cleaned if you wish to achieve the best results in every wash.

Clean the filters regularly.

The dishwasher should not be used without filters or if the filter is loose.

• After several washes, check the filter assembly and if necessary clean it thoroughly under running water, using a non-metallic brush and following the instructions below:
• Turn the cylindrical filter C in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out (fig. 1).
• Remove the cup filter B by exerting a slight pressure on the side flaps (fig. 2);
• Slide out the stainless-steel plate filter A. (fig. 3).
• Inspect the trap and remove any food residues. NEVER REMOVE the wash-cycle pump protection (black detail) (fig. 4).

After cleaning the filters, re-place the filter assembly and fix it in position correctly; this is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of the dishwasher.

Leaving the machine unused for extended periods

• Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and shut off the water tap.
• Leave the door of the appliance ajar.
• When you return, run a wash cycle when the dishwasher is empty.

Problem: Possible causes / Solutions:
The dishwasher does not start or cannot be controlled.	Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button, switch it back on after approximately one minute and reset the program.The appliance has not been plugged in properly.The dishwasher door has not been shut properly.
The door won't close.	The lock was released. Strongly push the door until a “clacking” noise is heard.
No water drains from the dishwasher.	The dishwasher cycle has not finished yet.The water drain hose is bent (see Installation).The drain duct is blocked.The filter is clogged up with food residues.
The dishwasher is too noisy.	The dishes are rattling against each other or against the sprayer arms.An excessive amount of foam has been produced: the detergent has not been measured out correctly or it is not suitable for use in dishwashers (see Start-up and use.)
The dishes and glasses are covered in a white film or limescale deposits.	The level of refined salt is low or the dosage setting is not suited to the hardness of the water (see Rinse aid and salt.)The lid on the salt dispenser was not closed properly.The rinse aid has been used up or the dosage is too low.
The dishes and glasses are streaked or have a bluish tinge.	The rinse aid dosage is too high.
The crockery has not been dried properly.	A wash cycle without a drying cycle has been selected.The rinse aid has been used up or the dosage is too low (see Rinse aid and salt).The rinse aid setting is not suitable.The crockery is made from non-stick material or plastic.
The crockery is not clean.	The racks are overloaded (see Loading the racks.)The crockery has not been arranged properly.The sprayer arms cannot move freely.The wash cycle is too gentle (see Wash cycles.)An excessive amount of foam has been produced: the detergent has not been measured out correctly or it is not suitable for use in dishwashers (see Start-up and use.)The lid on the rinse aid compartment was not shut correctly.The filter is dirty or blocked (see Care and maintenance.)The refined salt level is low (see Rinse aid and salt.)Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button. Turn off the water tap to avoid any flooding and unplug the appliance.Make sure the water inlet filter has not become blocked by impurities (see “Care and maintenance” chapter.)
