Installation

Connecting the Drain Hose to the MachineAIRMSEN ‎TDQR03 Portable Countertop Dishwasher-6

WARNING: The dishwasher drain hose is an essential part of the machine, so it must be installed correctly to drain water and perform its job effectively.

  1. Connect the drain hose to the water outlet located on the back of the machine.
  2. Tighten the hose collar screw with a screwdriver.

Connecting the Drain Hose to a Sewer

  1. There are three options for sewer connection, A(sink), B(sink drainpipe), and C(drainage pipe). For options B and C, it is required to drill a hole on or under the counter so that the pipe can go through the counter.
  2. The drain hose must be properly fitted to its containment source (such as a sink, bucket, etc.) to avoid water leaks. Ensure that the drain hose is not kinked or impeded in any way.

Install Filter

Before using the machine, you need to turn the filter clockwise to tighten the filter and align the triangle indicator arrow.

Operating instructions

Loading the Dishwasher Basket

  • Remove large, hard food scraps before loading tableware into the dishwasher.
  • Refer to the illustration when loading the dishwasher. All tableware and cutlery should be tilted to improve cleaning performance, with the dirty side facing toward the spray arm. Load tableware such that they are leaning against each other, and load hollow items such as cups, glasses, etc., with the opening facing downwards. Ladles should face open side down. Improper placement of tableware and cutlery may block the spray arm, which may affect the cleaning.

Try to leave the dirty side facing toward the spray arm.

Recommended Layout for 4 Place Settings

  • 4 x Dinner Plates (10)
  • 3 x Small Plates (8)
  • 1 x Glass
  • 4 x Cups
  • 4 x Spoons
  • 4 x Forks
  • 4 x Knives
  • 4 x Serving Bowls

IMPORTANT

For the best cleaning performance, follow these loading guidelines:

  • Scrape off any large food particles.
  • Soften and/or soak remnants of burnt food in pans.
  • It is not necessary to rinse all dishes under running water.
  1. Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc., with the opening facing downwards.
  2. Curved items or items with recesses should be loaded at a slant so that water can run off.
  3. All tableware and cutlery should be placed such that the spray arms can rotate freely during washing.
  • Knives and other utensils with sharp points should be loaded in the storage rack or cutlery basket with their points down or placed in a horizontal position so that they do not damage the inside of the dishwasher.
  • Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher, as they could fall out.
  • Dishes and cutlery should not lie inside, be stacked with, or lie against each other.
  • To avoid damage to glasses, ensure they are not touching each other.
  • Do not overload the dishwasher.
  • Position the dishes and cookware such that they will not be moved by the water spray.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Filter System

NOTES:

  • Never run the dishwasher without the filters in place. Improper placement of the filters may reduce the performance level of the dishwasher and damage dishes and utensils.
  • Make sure the filters are properly assembled.
  • The entire filter system should be cleaned once a week. Remove food remnants and clean the filters under running water.
  • When cleaning the filters, do not knock them against surfaces. This can contort the filters and affect the performance of your dishwasher.

The filters prevent larger remnants of food or other objects from getting inside the pump.

For best performance and results, regularly clean the filter system. The filter system consists of a coarse filter, a flat filter (main filter), and a micro filter (fine filter).AIRMSEN ‎TDQR03 Portable Countertop Dishwasher-7

  1. Coarse filter: This filter traps larger items, such as pieces of bone or glass that could block the drain.
  2. Fine filter: This filter catches soil and food residue in the cylindrical base and prevents the soil from being redeposited on the dishes during the wash cycle.
  3. Main filter: Food and soil particles trapped by this filter are broken down by a special jet on the spray arm and flushed down the drain

To Remove the Filter System

  1. Turn the fine filter counterclockwise to remove it from the machine.
  2. Push the tabs at the bottom center of the fine filter to separate the coarse filter from the fine filter.
  3. Remove the main filter by pulling upwards.

To Clean the Filter System

  1. Rinse the filter system under running water. Use a soft cleaning brush to clean the coarse filter and the fine filter.
  2. To reinstall the filter system, position the main filter on its seat and push downwards. Align the tabs on the bottom of the coarse filter with the corresponding hole of the fine filter, and then insert the coarse filter into the fine filter. Then, place the fine filter into its seat and rotate clockwise to tighten.

Spray Arms

The upper and lower spray arms can be easily removed for periodic cleaning of the nozzles, preventing potential clogging. Wash them under running water and carefully replace them in their seats, checking that rotary movement is in no way impeded.

To Remove and Clean the Spray Arms

  1. Open the door and take out the basket.
  2. Remove the lower spray arm by grasping the middle arm and pulling upwards. Unscrew the upper spray arm by rotating counterclockwise.
  3. Wash the arms under running water and brush each spray arm. Use tools with a sharp point, such as a needle, to clean nozzles if needed.
  4. Replace the lower spray arm in its seat by pushing downward until it clicks into place. Replace the upper spray arm by screwing clockwise into its seat. Ensure that the spray arm movement is not impeded before running another cycle.

Caring for the dishwasher

Daily Maintenance

  • The control panel and exterior should be cleaned with a lightly damp cloth. After cleaning, make sure to dry thoroughly. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads, or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little vinegar.
  • There may be some oil stains left on the edge of the dishwasher’s interior wall or door after heavily soiled loads have been washed. To clean the edge around the door, only use a soft, warm, damp cloth. Avoid getting water inside the door lock and electrical components.
  • Regularly clean the door seals with a damp sponge to prevent odors from trapped food particles in the door seal.

Protecting the Dishwasher from Freezing

Please take frost protection measures during the wintertime. After every wash cycle, take the following steps:

  1. Turn off the dishwasher. Cut off the electrical power to the dishwasher.
  2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water inlet hose from the back of the unit.
  3. Drain the water from the inlet hose and inlet port (Use a pan or bucket to catch the water).
  4. Reconnect the water inlet hose to the inlet port.
  5. Remove the filter system and use a sponge to absorb the water that is in the filter(sump) area. If your dishwasher no longer works due to freezing or ice, please contact our after-sales service team.
