2.1 | Water inlet
Plug the water inlet hose
on one side to the back of Bob and on the other
side to a water inlet via a 19 mm threaded end
(3/4 inch) and make sure the connection is
firmly tightened.
WARNING: Close the water supply tap
after each use of Bob.
Using Bob as an autonomous free-standing
dishwasher thanks to its built-in water tank. In
this case, no water inlet hose is needed! Please
use carafe to quickly fill the water tank! Bob can
be filled with either cold or hot water up to 60°C.
Please always fill the water tank before use (4L
capacity) with the door open, until you hear the
signal sound that indicates that the tank is full.
12
Do not overfill the tank! If you fill in
more than the water tank capacity (4 L),
the excess water will escape into Bob’s
main interior.
Warning: Do not block the water inlet of
the water tank. This must always remain
free.
2.2 | Water outlet
Plug the water drain hose to the back of Bob.
Warning: To prevent leaks, please use a screwdriver to fix the
water outlet.

Use the water inlet pipe. 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.
Use the built-in water tank: convenient, because it makes Bob completely
autonomous to use wherever you are. Fill the built-in water tank with Carafe. This is
the preferred choice if you intend to regularly move Bob around or if you do not have
access to a water inlet.

When you touch the door, it automatically opens.
Convenient, because you can open the door
of your Bob with your elbow, for instance, if
your hands are dirty!
The capacitive area is here
To avoid problems, the capacitive door opening is
deactivated for 3 seconds after closing the door.
When Bob is disconnected from the power supply
you can still open the door but you will encounter
greater resistance due to the deactivation of the
door’s capacitive opening system.
2.3 | Power plug
WARNING: Please turn the power supply off before installing Bob.
Connect the power cable to Bob’s back.
Before you connect Bob to the power supply, please make sure that the voltage on the
type plate corresponds to the voltage of your power supply.
The appliance must be placed on an even and stable surface. Daan Tech is not liable for
any damage caused by placing the device on an uneven and/or unstable surface during use.
Do not plug or unplug by pulling the cord, but always
pull the plug directly.
Connect the water outlet hose to a siphon drain pipe (usually accessible

Before putting kitchenware inside Bob, please mind some recommendations:
Bob’s configurable basket matches all kinds of kitchenware.

or the spray arm.
2. Soak (sauce) pans with hot water if there are burnt
stains before placing them in the basket.
3. Please mind checking that your kitchenware (in
particular lightweight ones) such as plastic containers
are fixed so that they do not flip or impede the spray
arm while the program is running.
4. Please place objects, such as pans, cups and glasses
etc., in a way that they do not store liquid while the
cycle is running.
When starting Bob you may navigate through the different menu options
of the home screen.

At this point, the door opens automatically and remains half-open with a 10
degree angle.
Warning Please note that hot steam is released when door opens
Depending on the program, drying might take several minutes and will not
consume additional energy. The program is not completed yet; please wait

skin burns if removed too soon. Daan Tech shall not be responsible
for such incidents, which occur when dishes are removed before the
offical end of the cycle.
When the program is completed, a signal sound occurs and Bob will automatically go into standby
mode.
Upon completion of the program, leave Bob’s door open (10°) to prevent unpleasant smell. This also
reduces the energy consumption in the standby mode.
