1 | SETTINGS AND LOCATIONS FOR USE
1.1 | Potential applications
Bob’s 4 feet can be adjusted up to +1cm (+0,4in) to ensure it is in a perfectly horizontal position. Warning: Bob’s inclination should not exceed 2° in order to avoid possible fl ooding.Precautions against frost: Bob should not be stored in a place with a temperature lower than 0°C / 32°F. If this situation could occur, ensure that Bob has been drained using the draining program within the settings menu (refer to page 13) and remove the inlet water hose. When you receive your Bob, humidity inside is normal. This is residual water from being tested before shipment (empty cycle with clean water) 19,3 in19,3 in13,4 in
On a work surfaceunder a sinkThe provided water outlet’s length is 4'11" (1.5m) During a cycle, ensure that nothing hinders the automatic opening of the door at the completion of the program, or proper drying won't occur..Warning : In the long run, the steam released while drying may damage wooden surfaces. Put Bob on a water-resistant surface to avoid stains. When fi lling Bob’s water tank or taking out dishes, water droplets may end up on the work surface.2 options

3.3 | Creating and deleting a custom program
Before creating your own program: When creating your own program, you have the option to fi ne-tune 3 settings: y The program duration (not including drying) y The maximum temperature during the program y The icon for your custom program For instance, you can create a custom program at 60°C for special dishes. If you have particularly fragile dishes, you should prefer a longer duration of about 90 minutes but a lower temperature (e.g. 50°C/122°F). If 20 minutes does not seem suffi cient for you, you might add some additional time. It’s up to you to create an adapted program for your dishes! You can create up to 4 custom programs. Once the limit is reached, you must delete a program (on the screen Settings > Delete cycle) to create a new one. Daan Tech does not commit to the washing performance of a custom program. Bob allows you to create your own program to adapt to your personal needs and to optimise the washing of your dishes. Rename a custom program If Bob is connected to Wi-Fi and paired to your Daan Tech account, you can change the name of your custom programs from the “Manage my Bob” tab.
ENTo simplify Bob’s handling, Daan Tech has developed the Bob cassette: an effi cient detergent dispensing system for dishwashers. It replaces all conventional dishwasher products and makes it possible to control the injection of various detergents and rinsing products during the cycle.

324 | EXTERIOR AND SCREEN
To clean the exterior of Bob, simply wipe it with a damp cloth or wipe Depending on the amount of grime on your Bob. Do not use any scouring agents, chemical solvents, or strong detergents as they could damage the coating on Bob. To prevent water from getting into the electronic components, screen, buttons or door lock system, do not use a cleaning spray. Conventional dishwashers have a regenerating salt tank for anti-calcifying the water, which must continuously be monitored and frequently refi lled. Bob does not require any dishwasher salt as everything is contained in the cassette! The limescale is automatically removed with the “rock'n'roll” cassette solution.
3. Go to the Bob cassette screen and navigate to the rock'n'roll cassette (maintenance cycle) and
then press to start the cycle
4. The cycle takes about 60 minutes and cleans your Bob thoroughly: pumps, hoses, basket...

6. Once the rock'n'roll cassette is empty, you can return it to Daan Tech to avoid throwing it
away. We take care of refi lling it.
7. Use a rock'n'roll cassette every 90 cycles to keep your Bob in good shape!
5 | SPRAY ARM If you encounter problems with the spray arm or have noticed that it no longer turns, ther may be a nozzle blockage that is preventing it from turning. In this case, please follow the instructions below to clean the spray arm. To remove the spray arm, unscrew the ring at the base of the spray arm with one hand. Wash the spray arm under running water and remove any food residue from the spray nozzles. Put it back in place and make sure that nothing hinders its rotation.

Check that the power cord is properly plugged in at both ends, into either the wall outlet or on Bob’s side. The cycle does not start. The door is open. Close the door. The door remains open, impossible to close it. Check whether something is blocking the closing of the door or the seal. If it is not the case, please contact the After Sales Service.

Avoid special dishwasher detergents to avoid foaming. However, if this happens, open the dishwasher door and allow the foam to evaporate. Close the door and start a wash program to drain the water. Repeat the procedure if necessary. Debris that generates foam. Different types of debris generate more or less foam. However, if there is too much foam during a cycle it can block the spray arm. In this case, empty the basket and run an empty cycle before you start washing your dishes again. Stains on interior surfaces. Limescale may appear on the surfaces. Run a maintenance cycle at least once every 90 cycles with a rock'n'roll cassette (refer to page32) I live in an area with very hard water. We recommend using a Bob Tablette instead of Bob cassette and run a maintenance cycle with a rock'n'roll cassette more frequently (every 30 cycles). The dishes are not clean. The dishes are not placed correctly in the basket. Avoid any contact between the different items in the basket. Please refer to page17: Recommendations for the arrangement of dishes in the basket.
