Frequently Asked Questions - LFT 114 HOTPOINT-ARISTON

What to do if the dishwasher does not start?
Check that the plug is properly inserted and there is no power outage. Make sure the door is correctly closed. If a delayed start has been set, the cycle will start later. You can also press and hold the ON/OFF button to turn the appliance off and on again.
How to resolve a drainage problem?
Check that the program is not finished. Make sure the drain hose is not bent and that the sink drain is not clogged. Clean the filters if debris is obstructing them.
Why is the dishwasher noisy?
The noise may come from dishes clashing or hitting the spray arms. Reorganize the baskets. Excess foam due to incorrect dosage or unsuitable detergent can also be the cause.
How to remove limescale deposits on dishes?
Check the regenerating salt level and the water hardness setting. Make sure the salt reservoir cap is tightly closed and that rinse aid is sufficient. Use a specific descaler if necessary.
Why do the dishes have white or bluish streaks?
This usually indicates an excess of rinse aid. Reduce the dosage by turning the adjuster (position 1-3). Too high a dosage leaves streaks.
How to improve drying of dishes?
Ensure there is enough rinse aid and that the dosage is suitable (position 4-6 if water droplets). Select a program with drying and open the door at the end of the cycle to facilitate evaporation.
What to do if dishes are not clean after washing?
Check the basket loading (do not overload), the position of the spray arms (must rotate freely) and the selected program. Clean the filters and salt reservoir. Ensure the detergent is properly dosed and suitable.
How to interpret the 'water tap closed' alarm?
The alarm lights up if the water supply is cut off or the hose is kinked. Open the tap and wait a few minutes. If the alarm persists, turn off the appliance, open the tap, then turn on again after 20 seconds.
How to clean the dishwasher filters?
Unscrew the cylindrical filter counterclockwise, remove the filter cup by pressing the fins, then remove the stainless steel filter. Clean everything under running water with a non-metallic brush. Reassemble carefully.
When and how to add regenerating salt?
Add salt when the SALT indicator lights up or the green float is no longer visible. Remove the lower basket, unscrew the cap, fill with water (first time), then add about 1 kg of salt using the funnel. Wipe away residues and close tightly.

Why doesn't the power indicator of my HOTPOINT ARISTON LFT 114 dishwasher light up?
Frequently Asked Questions - 22/02/2026
Response Notice-Facile

If the ON/OFF indicator of your HOTPOINT ARISTON LFT 114 dishwasher does not light up at all when pressing the button, several checks are necessary. First, ensure that the appliance is properly powered: check that the plug is securely inserted into the wall socket, that the socket is functioning (you can plug in another device), and that the power cord is not damaged or pinched. The LFT 114 model does not have a built-in fuse, so protection comes from the circuit breaker of your electrical installation: check that the main circuit breaker or the one dedicated to the dishwasher has not tripped.

Also check the water supply: make sure that the water inlet tap is fully open. According to the technical manual, the tap must always be opened before starting the machine. If the tap is closed, the safety system may prevent the start. Wait a few minutes for the machine to reset, then try again.

To normally start your LFT 114, you need to open the door and press the ON/OFF button: you will hear a short beep and the ON/OFF indicator will light up for a few seconds, as will the program indicators. If nothing happens when you press the button, ensure that the door is properly closed after pressing, as it must be securely locked for the start recognition.

If you notice that some program indicators are flashing without the ON/OFF indicator lighting up, the appliance may be in alert mode. For example, if the indicators for programs 2 and 3 are flashing, this indicates that water is not entering (tap closed or hose problem). Turn off the machine with the ON/OFF button, open the water tap, wait 20 seconds, then turn it back on by pressing ON/OFF again.

In case of a failure of the electronic module or control panel, the indicator will not light up despite proper electrical supply. This is a hardware issue that requires the intervention of an authorized HOTPOINT-ARISTON technician to diagnose and repair the fault. Do not attempt to disassemble the machine yourself, as this would void your warranty (the LFT 114 comes with a 2-year warranty).

Where is the fuse of the HOTPOINT ARISTON LFT 114 dishwasher located?
Frequently Asked Questions - 22/02/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The HOTPOINT ARISTON LFT 114 dishwasher does not have an internal fuse accessible to the user. This built-in appliance is electrically protected at the electrical panel of your home by a circuit breaker or a general fuse.

If your dishwasher does not start: Here is the troubleshooting procedure recommended by the manufacturer:

  • Check the connection: Make sure the plug is properly connected to the power outlet. Unplug and then replug the plug to ensure this.
  • Check for power outage: Verify that the circuit breaker or fuse corresponding to your dishwasher (in the electrical panel) has not tripped. If it has, reset the circuit breaker to the ON position or replace the blown fuse.
  • Check the door: Ensure that the dishwasher door is properly closed. The appliance will only start if the door is correctly closed.
  • Check for delayed start: If you have programmed a delayed start (function available on this appliance), this delays the start. Refer to the manual to cancel this function.

Condition of the electrical outlet: The outlet must be grounded and comply with safety standards. For interventions on the power cable or if the outlet is not suitable, contact the authorized HOTPOINT ARISTON service.

If after these checks the dishwasher still does not work, contact the authorized technical support service providing the model (LFT 114), the serial number, and the type of issue encountered.

A Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the machine, so that the new owner may benefit from the advice contained within it.
A Please read this instruction manual carefully: it contains important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance.
A 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. Check the dishwasher by placing it so that its sides or back panel are in contact with the adjacent cabinets or even with the wall. This appliance can also be recessed under a single worktop* (see the Assembly instruction sheet).
  3. Position the dishwasher on a level and sturdy floor. If the floor is uneven, the front feet of the appliance may 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. Adjust the height of the rear foot from the front of the appliance* on the central lower part of the dishwasher, turning a hexagonal spanner (red color) with an opening of 8mm in a clockwise direction to increase the height or in an anticlockwise direction to decrease the height.

Connecting the water and electricity supplies

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

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

HOTPOINT-ARISTON LFT 114 - Connecting the water and electricity supplies - 1

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 3/4 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^ . 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.

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 circumstance should the water inlet hose be cut as it contains live electrical parts.

Connecting the water outlet hose

Connect the outlet hose (without bending it) to a drain duct with a minimum diameter of 4cm . Alternatively, rest it over a sink or tub; the free end of the hose should not remain immersed in water.

HOTPOINT-ARISTON LFT 114 - Connecting the water outlet hose - 1
figure).

The special plastic elbow* makes it easier to find the best layout: fix the elbow to the wall securely in order to prevent the outlet hose from moving and spilling the dirty water.

The part of the hose marked with the letter A should be between 40 and 100cm above the ground (see

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 appliance has been installed, immediately before running the first wash cycle, completely fill the salt dispenser with water and add only then approximately 1kg 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.

HOTPOINT-ARISTON LFT 114 - Advice regarding the first wash cycle - 1

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

HOTPOINT-ARISTON LFT 114 - Advice regarding the first wash cycle - 2

We advise against the use of hose extensions.

Electrical connection

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

HOTPOINT-ARISTON LFT 114 - Electrical connection - 1

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 chapter entitled 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)

Starting the dishwasher

  1. Turn the water tap on.
  2. Open the door and press the ON/OFF button: you will hear a short beep and the ON/OFF and wash cycle indicator lights switch on for a few seconds.
  3. Measure out the detergent (see below).
  4. Load the racks (see chapter entitled 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; the indicator light corresponding to the selected wash cycle will switch on.
  6. Start the wash cycle by shutting the door: after a few seconds have passed, a long beep signals the start of the wash cycle.
  7. Two short beeps and one long one indicate the end of the wash cycle and the indicator light corresponding to the wash cycle flashes slowly. 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.
  8. Wait for a few minutes before removing the crockery, in order to avoid burns. Unload the racks, beginning with the lower level.

The order in which the different wash programmes are displayed will change according to the frequency with which each cycle is used.

Modifying a wash cycle in progress

If a mistake was made during 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 with a long beep. Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the new wash cycle using the P button; 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 if 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 is 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.

Only use detergent which has been Only use detergent specifically designed for dishwashers.specfically designe

Only use products which have been specifically designed for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or 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 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 remain lit.

Measuring out the rinse aid

Rinse aid makes it easier for the crockery to dry, as water runs off 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;

HOTPOINT-ARISTON LFT 114 - Measuring out the rinse aid - 1

  1. Open the dispenser by turning the lid (G) in an anticlockwise direction.
  2. Pour in the rinse aid, making sure it does not overflow from the dispenser. If this happens, clean the spill immediately with a dry cloth.
  3. Screw the lid back on.

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 may adjust the quantity of rinse aid used. Use a screwdriver to turn the dosage adjuster (F) to one of the 6 pre-set positions (the default position is set to 4):

If there are streaks on the crockery, set the adjustment device to a lower number (1-3).
- If drops of water remain on the crockery or if there are limescale marks present after the cycle has finished, set the adjuster to a higher number (4-6).

Setting the water hardness

Every dishwasher is equipped with a water softener which, by using refined salt designed especially 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 the organisation which supplies your household with water.

  • Open the door and switch on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF button.
  • Press the P button and hold for approximately 5 seconds; two short beeps will sound and the indicator light corresponding to the set degree of hardness will flash slowly on the display (the water softening system is set to

number 3).

  • Press the P button repeatedly until the desired hardness level has been reached (1-2-3-4-5* see Water hardness table).

E.g. hardness 1 (indicator light 1 illuminated) hardness 2 (indicator light 1 illuminated, indicator light 2 flashing).

hardness 3 (indicator lights 1 and 2 illuminated, indicator light 3 flashing and so on).

  • To exit the function, wait approximately 30 seconds or switch off the machine using the ON/OFF button.

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 cycle.

(^ 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 achieve the best possible results using a wash cycle, make sure that the 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 SALT* indicator light on the control panel is illuminated;

HOTPOINT-ARISTON LFT 114 - Measuring out the refined salt - 1

  1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew the cap of the dispenser (in an anti-clockwise direction).
  2. For the first wash cycle only: fill the dispenser up to the edges with water.
  3. Position the funnel* correctly (see figure) and fill the salt dispenser up to the edges (approximately 1 kg);

it is normal for a little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel, wipe away any salt residue from the opening and screw the cap on tightly, so that detergent does not leak into the dispenser during the wash cycle (this could damage the water softening system 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

  • Turn off 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 may be cleaned using a non-abrasive cloth which has been dampened with water. Do not use solvents or abrasive products.
  • Any marks 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 the arms are checked from time to time and cleaned with a small non-metallic brush.

The two sprayer arms may both be removed.

HOTPOINT-ARISTON LFT 114 - Cleaning the sprayer arms - 1

To remove the upper sprayer arm, rotate the locking ring in an anti-clockwise direction. The upper sprayer arm should be replaced with the holes facing upwards.

HOTPOINT-ARISTON LFT 114 - Cleaning the sprayer arms - 2

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

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 residue. NEVERNEVER REMOVERMOMO cycle pump (black detail) (fig. 4).

  • The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
  • The appliance must be used by adults only, to wash domestic crockery in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
  • The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the machine exposed to rain and storms.
  • Do not touch the appliance when barefoot.
  • When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.
  • The water supply tap must be shut off and the plug should be removed from the electrical socket before cleaning the appliance or carrying out any maintenance work.
  • If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt to perform the repair work yourself.
  • Never touch the heating element.
  • Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance: this may cause the appliance to overturn.
  • The door should not be left open as it may create a dangerous obstacle.
  • Keep detergent and rinse aid out of reach of children.
  • The packaging material should not be used as a toy.

Disposal

  • Disposal of packaging materials: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
  • The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection.

For further information relating to the correct disposal of household appliances, owners may contact the relevant public authority or the local appliance dealer.

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 which 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 guarantees low energy and 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 during the periods when a lower tariff is applied. 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^ , and 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^ wash cycle.
  • To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate quantities based on the manufacturer's recommendations, the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity of crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances which may alter the balance of nature.

Whenever the appliance fails to work, check for a solution from the following list before calling for Assistance.
