If your Ariston dishwasher isn't cleaning dishes properly, make sure the crockery is arranged correctly so the spray arms can rotate freely. Select an appropriate wash cycle. Ensure the detergent is measured correctly and is suitable for dishwashers. Also, check that the rinse aid compartment cap is closed properly. Clean the filter assembly and fill the salt reservoir if needed.

If the salt indicator is lit on your Ariston dishwasher, it could be because the salt reservoir is empty. Refill it with salt. Note that the indicator may remain lit for several wash cycles after refilling. Also, adjust the water hardness.
Why is the rinse aid indicator lit on my Ariston LFO 3P31 WL Dishwasher?
If the rinse aid indicator is lit on your Ariston dishwasher, it means the rinse aid dispenser is empty. Refill the dispenser with rinse aid. The rinse aid indicator may remain lit for several wash cycles after refilling.

This document provides a comprehensive guide for the Ariston dishwasher, covering its product description, first-time use, program table, options and functions, loading instructions, daily use, advice and tips, care and maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The Ariston dishwasher features an intuitive design with two main racks: an upper rack and a lower rack, complemented by a dedicated cutlery rack. The upper rack includes a height adjuster, allowing for flexible loading of bulky crockery in the lower basket or creating more space for tip-up supports. It also has foldable flaps with adjustable positions for securing wine glasses and other delicate items. The lower rack is designed for pots, lids, plates, and salad bowls, featuring tip-up supports and a "Space Zone" pull-out support for efficient loading of frying and baking pans. Both racks are equipped with spray arms for effective water distribution. The cutlery rack is a third rack designed to house cutlery, with sliding side trays to optimize space for taller items in the upper rack.
Key components include a filter assembly, salt reservoir, and detergent and rinse aid dispensers. The control panel features an On-Off/Reset button, program selection button, Zone Wash 3D button (which also functions as a Keylock), Eco program indicator, Keylock indicator, display showing program number and remaining time, Tablet (Tab) indicator, closed water tap indicator, Rinse Aid refill indicator, Salt refill indicator, Short Time button, Delay button, and Start/Pause button. The display also indicates "Drain out" functionality.
Before initial use, stoppers from the racks and elastic elements from the upper rack should be removed. The salt reservoir, located in the lower part of the dishwasher, must be filled with approximately 1 kg of salt when the SALT REFILL indicator light is lit. It is crucial to set the water hardness according to local water supply information. This involves switching the appliance on and off, holding the START/Pause button for 5 seconds, switching it on again, and then pressing the P button to select the desired hardness level from the Water Hardness Table (ranging from Soft to Very hard).
The rinse aid dispenser (A) should be filled when the RINSE AID REFILL indicator light is lit. The dosage of rinse aid can be adjusted from level 1 (ECO, no rinse aid) to a maximum of 5 levels to optimize drying results. This adjustment is performed by switching the dishwasher on and off, pressing START/Pause three times, switching it on again, and then using the P button to select the desired level.
The detergent dispenser (D) is opened using device C. Detergent should be introduced into the dry dispenser, with pre-washing detergent placed directly inside the tub. The dispenser automatically opens during the program. For all-in-one detergents, the TABLET button should be used to optimize washing and drying.
The dishwasher offers a variety of programs:
Available options include:
For daily use, ensure the water connection is open, switch on the dishwasher, load the racks, fill the detergent dispenser, choose a program and desired options, and press START/Pause. The end of the wash cycle is indicated by beeps and "End" on the display. The machine automatically switches off after extended periods of inactivity to minimize electricity consumption.
If a wrong program is selected, it can be changed if it has just begun by pressing and holding ON/OFF, then selecting a new program. Extra crockery can be added during a cycle by opening the door (beware of hot steam), placing items inside, and pressing START/Pause. If the cycle is interrupted by opening the door or a power cut, it resumes from where it left off once the door is closed or power is restored and START/Pause is pressed.
Tips for optimal performance include removing food residues before loading, arranging crockery firmly, ensuring spray arms can rotate freely, and placing very soiled items in the lower basket. Unsuitable crockery includes wooden items, delicate decorated glasses, synthetic materials not resistant to high temperatures, copper, tin, and items soiled with ash, wax, grease, or ink.
To save energy, run the dishwasher when fully loaded and use dedicated wash options for partial loads. Manual pre-rinsing is not recommended as it increases water and energy consumption. For hygiene, run a high-temperature program at least once a month with a teaspoon of detergent when empty.
Regular cleaning of the filter assembly is essential to prevent clogging and ensure proper water drainage. The filter assembly consists of cylindrical filter A, cup filter B, and stainless-steel plate filter C. These should be cleaned monthly or after 30 cycles by disassembling and rinsing under running water with a non-metallic brush.
The spray arms should also be checked periodically for encrusted food residues. The upper spray arm can be removed by turning its plastic locking ring anti-clockwise, and the lower spray arm by pulling it upwards.
The water softening system automatically reduces water hardness and regenerates itself with salt. Regeneration occurs once per 6 Eco cycles (with water hardness level set to 3), consuming approximately 3.5L of water and adding up to 5 minutes to the cycle.
If water hoses are new or unused for a long time, let water run through them to clear impurities before connecting to prevent blockages.
