Equator WP 818 - Manual (Page 11)

It is necessary to clean the spray arms regularly for hard water chemicals will clog the spray arm jets and bearings.
To remove the spray arm, screw off the nut to take out the washer on top of the spray arm and remove the arm. Wash
the arms in soapy and warm water and use a soft brush to clean the jets. Replace them after rinsing them thoroughly.
Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place.
Filter assembly
For best performance and results, the filter assembly must be cleaned.
The filter efficiently removes food particles from the wash water, allowing it to be recirculated
during the cycle. For this reason, it is a good idea to remove the larger food particles trapped in
the filter after each wash cycle by rinsing the semicircular filter and cup under running water. To
remove the filter assembly, pull on the cup handle in the upward direction. The entire filter
assembly should be cleaned at least once a month.
To clean the coarse filter and the fine filter, use a cleaning brush. Then, reassemble the filter
parts as shown in the figures left and reinsert the entire assembly in the dishwasher, positioning
in its seat and pressing downward.
The dishwasher must never be used without the filters. Improper replacement of the filter may
reduce the performance level of the appliance and damage dishes and utensils.
Never use a spray cleaner to clean the door panel for it could damage the door lock and electrical components. It is not
allowed to use the abrasive agent or some paper towel because of the risk of scratching or leaving spots on the stain-
less steel surface.
To clean the edge around the door, you should use only a soft warm, damp rag. To prevent
penetration of water into the door lock and electrical components, do not use a spray cleaner
of any kind.
Also, never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the outer surfaces because they will
scratch the finish. Some papers towels can also scratch or leave marks on the surface.
After every wash, turn off the water supply to the
appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that
moisture and odors are not trapped inside.
Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always
remove the plug from the socket. Do not run risks.
To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dish-
washer, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning
products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy
water.To remove spots or stains from the surface
of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water
and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product
made specifically for dishwashers.
When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run
a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then re-
move the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply
and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This
will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from
forming within the appliance.
If the appliance must be moved, try to keep it in the verti-
cal position.If absolutely necessary, it can be positioned
on its back.
One of the factors that cause odors to form in the
dishwasher is food that remains trapped in the seals.
Periodic cleaning with a damp sponge will prevent this
from occurring.
