7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your HAVA Countertop Dishwasher, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Water not filling: Verify that the water tank is filled (if using tank mode) or the faucet is turned on and the inlet hose is properly connected (if using faucet mode).
• Dishes not clean: Check if the detergent dispenser was filled correctly. Ensure dishes are loaded properly and not blocking the spray arms. Clean the fine filter if it's clogged.
• Water leakage: Inspect all hose connections (inlet and drain) for tightness. Ensure the drainpipe is correctly positioned in the sink or drain container.
