4.2 Water Connection Options
Your Bomann TSG 5701 offers two convenient water connection methods:
- Mode 1: Using the Integrated 5L Water Tank (No Permanent Water Connection Required)
This mode is ideal for portability and locations without a direct water supply. Simply open the water inlet cap on top of the dishwasher and pour in approximately 5 liters of fresh water. The dishwasher will signal when the tank is full.

For continuous use, you can connect the dishwasher directly to a water faucet using the provided inlet hose. Follow the instructions in the detailed manual for secure hose attachment to both the appliance and your water supply.
4.3 Drainage Connection
Connect the drain hose to a suitable drain point, such as a sink or a bucket. Ensure the hose is securely fastened and positioned to allow for proper water drainage without kinks or blockages.
4.4 Filling Dishwasher Salt
For optimal cleaning results and to prevent limescale buildup, especially in areas with hard water, fill the dishwasher salt dispenser. Use the included funnel to easily add dishwasher salt into the designated compartment. The appliance has an indicator to notify you when salt needs refilling.
