3. Setup

2. Inspect: Check the tub and its integrated plug for any signs of damage.
3. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the tub with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
4. Positioning: Place the tub in your kitchen sink or on a stable, flat surface where you intend to use it. Ensure the area is clear and ready for use.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Filling the Tub

Ensure the integrated plug is in the closed position (fully pressed down and twisted to seal) before filling the tub with water and dish soap. The steep sides are designed to keep water and suds contained.

4.2 Draining and Straining

The Wash & Drain features an integrated plug with multiple settings:

• Sealed: Press the plug down and twist to seal, allowing the tub to hold water.
• Drain & Strain: Twist the plug to partially open it. This allows water to drain while trapping larger food particles in the integrated strainer, preventing them from going down your sink drain.
• Fast Empty: For quick emptying, pull the plug completely out.

4.3 Portability

Utilize the large, integrated handles on either side of the tub to easily lift and carry it, even when filled with water or dishes. This feature is particularly useful for moving the tub between different locations or for emptying it into a larger sink.

5. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: The Joseph Joseph Wash & Drain Dish Tub is designed for hand washing only. Do not place it in a dishwasher.
• Plug Cleaning: Regularly remove the integrated plug to clean any trapped food particles. Wash the plug and the tub thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
• Drying: Allow the tub to air dry completely after cleaning to prevent water spots or mildew.
• Storage: Store the tub in a dry place when not in use. Its compact design allows for easy storage under most sinks or in cabinets.

6. Troubleshooting

• Water Leaks: If water is leaking from the plug, ensure it is fully pressed down and twisted into the sealed position. Check for any debris obstructing the seal.
• Slow Draining: If the tub is draining slowly, the integrated strainer may be clogged with food particles. Remove the plug and clean the strainer thoroughly.
