Novete TDQR01 Portable Countertop Dishwasher

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including:

• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• Only use the dishwasher for its intended purpose.
• Only use recommended detergents or soaps in the dishwasher and keep them out of reach of children.
• When loading items to be washed:

1. Position sharp items such that they are not likely to damage the door seal.
2. Load sharp knives with the handles pointed up to reduce the risk of injury.

• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or similar. For plastic items that are not marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
• Do not tamper with the controls.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two or more weeks. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for a while, before using the dishwasher, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water run for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As this gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• Remove the door to the washing compartment before disposing of it.
• DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER.
• HOUSEHOLD AND INDOOR USE ONLY.
• DO NOT open the door while the appliance is running to avoid personal injury. Do not open the door when washing. When you open the door, be sure to avoid any hot water that may splash out.
• DO NOT operate this appliance if parts are missing or broken.
• DO NOT operate this appliance unless all parts are installed properly.
• DO NOT place any heavy objects on top of the dishwasher.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use, before removing parts, or before cleaning. Allow time for the dishwasher to cool before assembling or disassembling any parts, and before cleaning.
• To clean the inside of the dishwasher, use a soft damp cloth with mild soap, and then use a dry cloth to dry.
• DO NOT operate this appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance malfunctions or is damaged in any manner.
• It is not recommended to use accessory attachments other than those provided by the manufacturer. The use of attachments may cause injuries.
• DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter plug with this appliance.
• DO NOT place on or near a gas or electric burner.
• DO NOT allow the cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter, or to touch hot surfaces.
• To disconnect, turn any control to “OFF”, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This dishwasher is equipped with a cord with a grounding conductor and a grounding plug. DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the grounding plug from the power cord.

• The plug must be plugged into an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Improper connection of the grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are unsure as to whether the dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher.

If it does not fit the outlet, have a qualified electrician install a proper outlet.

INSTALLATION

Parts List

Connecting the Drain Hose to the Machine

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 through 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.

Adding Water to the Dishwasher

NOTE: This machine supports two water supply modes, including faucet mode and water tank mode.

Faucet Mode

1. Remove the silica gel plug from the water inlet on the back of the machine. Then, attach one end of the water inlet hose to the water inlet of the machine.
2. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to your faucet and make sure it is fastened tightly in place. The included water inlet hose has a 3/4″ GHT female connector, so it matches the faucet with a 3/4″ GHT male connector. NOTE: If the included water inlet hose does not fit your faucet, you may need to buy a 3/4″ GHT threaded faucet adapter from a plumbing supply manufacturer. If you are unsure of what to do, please feel free to contact our after-sales service team.
3. Turn on the dishwasher and press the Mode button to choose a wash cycle. Then, press the Start/Pause button to start the wash cycle. The panel will display a white indicator, meaning the faucet is properly connected and turned on.

NOTES:

• While in the faucet mode, DO NOT disconnect the faucet. Otherwise, the wash cycle cannot be completed.
• A red flashing water shortage indicator means that this machine is not connected to a faucet, the faucet is not turned on, and/or the water tank is not full. If the water tank is full, the panel will display a white indicator.

Water Tank Mode

Reminder: If the machine is being used for the first time or has not been used in a long time, insufficient water flow may occur when the water tank is filled due to trapped air in the machine’s water pipe system, which prevents the water from flowing into the machine’s interior. In this case, you can slightly shake the machine 5-6 times to exhaust all trapped air. This will ensure a smooth water flow.

1. Open the water tank lid and fill with about 1.3 gallons (5 L) of water, or approximately 3 pitchers. When the tank is full, beeps will be heard. There is no need to add more water during the washing process. NOTE: To prevent loss of the tank lid, attach it to the water tank.
2. If the water tank is not full when you start a wash cycle, a red flashing water shortage indicator will display on the panel, and the buzzer will beep. When the water tank is full, a white water tank mode indicator will appear.
3. Before starting any wash cycle, if the machine detects that the water tank is full, it will automatically switch to the water tank mode.
4. To drain the water tank by hand, pause the wash cycle and press and hold both the Dry button and Power button simultaneously for 3 seconds. If the water tank is not used for a long time, it is recommended to empty the water tank.
5. The system will automatically check all water supplies. If the red water shortage indicator appears, you will need to fill the water tank or turn on the faucet. Once the water tank is filled, the machine will automatically start the wash cycle you selected with no need to press the Start/Pause button again. In the faucet mode, it is required to press the Start/Pause button again to start the wash cycle after you open the faucet.

NOTE: In the case of a water shortage, if you press the Start/Pause button 5 times and there is still no adequate water supply, the machine will automatically enter standby mode. Or, if there is no user operation or water supply for 10 minutes, the machine will automatically enter standby mode.

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.

Recommended Layout

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.
• Place objects in the dishwasher in the following way:

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.

Not suitable for:

• Cutlery with wooden or mother-of-pearl handles
• Plastic items that are not heat-resistant
• Non-heat-resistant bonded cutlery or china
• Pewter or copper items
• Delicate crystal
• Steel or silver items are subject to rusting or discoloration
• Wooden items
• Glazed items that may fade
• Painted tableware

Detergent Use

Pods, liquid, or powder detergent are all acceptable. Add detergent to the detergent dispenser located on the bottom of the glass door.

WARNING: Only use detergent made specifically for dishwashers. Do not use rinse aids. Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Keep away from children.

• DO NOT add detergent when using the Fruit mode.
• The use of normal washing mode in combination with low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes reduces pollution and is good for your dishes.
• The detergent must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle.
• Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load.
• Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher. Otherwise, it could become damp and will not dissolve properly.

Starting a Wash Cycle

1. Load the dishwasher. See “Loading the Dishwasher Basket” for instructions.
2. Add detergent. See “Detergent Use” for instructions.
3. Connect the water inlet hose to the faucet. Ensure that the faucet is turned on to full pressure. Alternatively, add water to the water tank manually. See “Adding Water to Dishwasher” for instructions.
4. Insert the plug into the socket. The power supply is 120 V/60 Hz. The Power button should light up and pulse.
5. Press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds to turn on the appliance. The Power button, Start/Pause button, and Mode button will light up.
6. Press the Mode button repeatedly to select the desired wash cycle. The options are: Dry, Normal, Speed, Soft, Baby Care/Heavy, and Fruit. Refer to the wash cycle table for details.
7. When a wash cycle is selected, the corresponding indicator will illuminate.
8. Press the Start/Pause button to start the wash cycle.
9. If needed, press the Dry button either before or after a wash cycle is started, or when the wash cycle is finished, to add an extra 60 minutes of air-drying and 72 hours of intermittent ventilation for storage.
10. To pause the dishwasher, press the Start/Pause button. The button will flash until it is pressed again to resume the wash cycle.

NOTE: The Dry mode cannot be paused or canceled during operation of air-drying and intermittent circulation. If you want to cancel the drying, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds to turn off the dishwasher.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Filter System

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.
