QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
Step 2: Choose the
water supply mode
2 options:
yUse the water inlet pipe (available on our website). The water tank is
automatically filled before each cycle, so there is no need to fill it manually.
It is the preferred choice if you use Bob as a built-in dishwasher or if you have
close access to a water supply.
yUse the built-in water tank: convenient, because it makes Bob completely
autonomous to use wherever you are. Fill the built-in water tank with Bob
Carafe (available on our website). This is the preferred choice if you intend to
regularly move Bob around or if you do not have access to a water inlet.
Step 3: Add new features to Bob by
pairing Bob to your Daan Tech account
(free & simple on www.daan.tech)
