Step-by-step installation

1. Unbox & inspect

   • Remove packing materials.
   • Verify contents against the manual; check for damage.

2. Choose location

   • Place within Wi‑Fi range of your router.
   • Keep away from heat sources and direct water spray.
   • If wall- or cabinet-mounting, ensure sturdy surface.

3. Power

   • Plug the power adapter into the iWash and a grounded outlet.
   • If battery-powered, charge until indicator shows full (refer to manual for time).

4. Install the app

   • Download “iWash” from your device’s app store.
   • Open app, accept permissions, and create or sign in to your account.

5. Prepare Wi‑Fi

   • Ensure your phone is connected to the home 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi network.
   • Temporarily disable VPN or mobile data to avoid connectivity conflicts.

6. Pair the device

   • In the app, choose “Add Device” → select iWash.
   • Follow on-screen prompts: press and hold the device pairing button until the LED flashes.
   • Enter SSID and password when prompted.
   • Wait for confirmation in the app that pairing succeeded.

7. Placement & mounting

   • If mounting, mark holes using the device bracket, drill pilot holes, insert anchors, and secure screws.
   • Ensure the device is level and firmly attached.

8. Run initial setup

   • In-app guided setup: configure wash preferences, select measurement units, and name the device.
   • Run a quick test/warmup cycle per app instructions to confirm sensors and actuators work.

Common troubleshooting (quick list)

• Device won’t power on

  • Check power connection and outlet; try a different outlet.
  • Confirm adapter is the one provided and not faulty.

• App can’t find device

  • Ensure phone on same 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth enabled (if required).
  • Restart phone and device; retry pairing.
  • Temporarily disable VPN/firewall on router.

• Pairing fails during Wi‑Fi setup

  • Re-enter SSID/password carefully (case sensitive).
  • Ensure router is not using enterprise/WPA2-Enterprise or hidden SSID.
  • Move device closer to router for setup.

• Device disconnects intermittently

  • Check Wi‑Fi signal strength; consider a mesh extender.
  • Ensure router firmware is up to date and no MAC filtering is blocking the device.
  • Assign a static IP or DHCP reservation for stability.

• App shows sensor errors

  • Power-cycle the device.
  • Clean sensors per manual instructions.
  • If persistent, note error code and contact support with device serial number.

• Firmware update stuck

  • Keep device powered and on the same Wi‑Fi; wait up to 15 minutes.
  • If it fails, reboot device and retry.
  • Contact support if multiple retries fail.

When to contact support

• Physical damage, persistent hardware faults, repeated firmware failure, or sensor/calibration issues after all troubleshooting. Provide model, serial number, app screenshots, and steps already tried.

Quick tips

• Register device in the app for warranty and firmware notifications.
• Keep router and app updated.
• Use strong, unique Wi‑Fi passwords and avoid public networks during setup.
