Equator CD400 Instruction De Maintenance

Many of the performance failures of the dishwasher are not the result of mechanical troubles. And the 
unsatisfactory washing result can usually be corrected without any service. 

This manual deals first with the problems in performance. To have satisfactory washing result, you have to use the 
machine correctly. First thing first, the dishes shall be placed in a correct manner. If the machine works well and 
the washing result is unsatisfactory, you should check the layout of the dishes as follows:

Load the dishes as instructed in the user's manual.
Preparation of the dishes such as dumping the remaining food, and removing from the dishes food lumps, 
starches in particular, shall be done prior to loading.
The dishes shall face the water flow from the spray arm for free washing. Do not place the dishes in an 
overlapped way.
Load heavy pans and large soup bowls downwards. If the upper racks are barred from water flows, do not 
place articles on them any more. 
Leave some space in the front of the wire basket so that the water flow may wash out the dishwater powder 
from the powder trough in the inner door.
On the fork/knife rack, the tableware shall be placed with handle down evenly. Do not load there the 
articles that may fall out from the bottom.

number of the part in the explosion diagram. The double pump model in the explosion 
diagram is equipped with a WP5E. The actual configuration may be different. 

IV.  Check of Performance: Dishwasher Powder and Brightness Liquid

The water (pressure, hardness and temperature) and the dishwasher powder are the major elements that affect the 
washing effect of the machine. Choose the right dishwasher powder and dosage according to the local water 
condition, you will have satisfactory washing result. 

Use only the fresh and dry dishwasher powder of the designated brand. Outdated powder will reduce the 
washing effect.
Contact the local water supply company for the water condition, if applicable. The higher the water hardness is, 
the more powder shall be used. 

  Check the brightness liquid in the dispenser and add without delay if it is insufficient. The brightness   liquid 

helps the water to drip, making the dishes easy to dry and curbing the formation of water specks   on the surface 
of the dishes.
