Beginner-Friendly Step-by-Step Guide to Start a COMFEE Dishwasher
Let’s go through each step slowly and clearly.
Step 1: Load Your Dishes the Right Way
Before you press any button, you must load your dishes in the correct way.
This helps the machine clean better and prevents damage.
Here is a simple rule I use:
“Big items go low.
Small items go high.”
What goes on the bottom rack?
-
Plates
-
Large bowls
-
Pots and pans
-
Heavy dishes
These items need stronger water pressure. The bottom rack gives that.
What goes on the top rack?
-
Cups
-
Glasses
-
Plastic containers (dishwasher-safe only)
-
Small bowls
-
Light plates
The top rack gets gentle water. Perfect for light items.
Cutlery basket rules
-
Knives → handles up (for safety)
-
Forks → handles down
-
Spoons → handles up or mixed
Why mixed?
Because spoons stick together if they face the same way. That makes them come out dirty.
My personal mistake
One day I placed a big pan on the bottom rack. It blocked the spray arm without me noticing.
After the cycle, I opened the door and saw half-washed plates and soap stuck everywhere.
Ever since then, I spin the spray arm with my hand before closing the door. If it spins, everything is loaded right.
This one small habit saved me many headaches.
Step 2: Add Dishwasher Detergent
Now that your dishes are loaded, the next part is detergent.
You will find a small compartment on the inside of the door.
This is where you place:
-
A dishwasher tablet
-
Or dishwasher powder
-
Or dishwasher gel
Never use hand-wash liquid
I once used regular dish soap in another dishwasher years ago.
The whole kitchen filled with bubbles like a foam party.
Trust me—never try it.
How much detergent to use?
-
Tablets → 1 tablet
-
Powder → Fill to the line
-
Gel → Fill the small cup
Tablets are easiest for beginners.
Step 3: Check Power and Water
Before starting the machine, check these two things:
1. Is the machine plugged in?
Sometimes the plug gets loose.
A COMFEE dishwasher will not start if the power connection is weak.
2. Is the water valve open?
Turn the tap to make sure water flows to the dishwasher.
3. Is the door closed properly?
If the door is not clicked shut, the Start button won’t work.
Step 4: Choose the Right Program
Your COMFEE dishwasher has several wash programs.
Each program handles a different type of dish load.
Here are the most common ones:
Normal
For everyday dishes.
Great for plates, bowls, and cups.
Eco
Saves water and electricity.
Best for light dirt.
Intensive
For burnt pans, greasy pots, and heavy dirt.
Rapid
Fast cycle.
Good for lightly dirty items.
Glass
Gentle cycle for fragile glassware.
Pre-Wash / Rinse
When you want to wash later.
Tip:
If you are unsure which program to choose, use Normal.
It works well for almost everything.
Step 5: Press “Start”
After selecting a program, press the Start/Pause button.
You will hear:
-
A soft beep
-
A little water sound
-
A light turning on
This means your dishwasher has started.
Now you can relax.
The machine will wash, rinse, and dry your dishes on its own.
🌟 How to Start a COMFEE Dishwasher?
Starting a COMFEE dishwasher is simple when you follow a few easy steps. First, load the dishes in the correct place. Put big plates and pots on the bottom rack and place cups and glasses on the top rack. Then, add one dishwasher tablet or the right amount of powder into the detergent compartment. Make sure the door closes with a “click.” After that, choose a wash program such as Normal, Eco, or Rapid. Once you select the program, press the Start/Pause button. You will hear the dishwasher begin to fill with water. That’s all you need to do to start your COMFEE dishwasher.
🌟 How Do I Get My Dishwasher to Start?
If your dishwasher is not starting, do three very simple checks. First, check the door. A COMFEE dishwasher will not start unless the door is firmly locked. Next, check the power. The plug may be loose, and even a small movement can stop the machine from starting. Also check the water supply tap. If it is closed, the dishwasher will not run. Finally, make sure you pressed the Start button after choosing your wash program. Many people forget this step. Once these things are correct, your dishwasher will start without any problem.
🌟 Why Is My COMFEE Dishwasher Not Starting?
There are a few common reasons why a COMFEE dishwasher refuses to start. The most common cause is a door that is not fully closed. Even if the door looks closed, it must lock tightly. Another common issue is the Child Lock button. If this lock is on, none of the buttons will work. Make sure the power plug is secure and the water tap is open. Also check if the dishwasher is already running a delayed start timer, which sometimes gets activated by mistake. Most of these problems are small and very easy to fix.
🌟 How Do You Start a Dishwasher Step by Step?
Starting a dishwasher step by step is simple. Begin by scraping off large food pieces from your dishes. Then load the dishes in the correct racks. Add dishwasher detergent into the detergent cup. Close the door until you hear a click. Pick the wash program you want to use, such as Normal or Eco. Then press the Start button. The dishwasher will begin filling with water. It will wash, rinse, and dry your dishes on its own. When the cycle finishes, open the door slightly to let the steam escape. Once the dishes cool, remove them from bottom to top so water does not drip.
Small Tips That Make Dishwashing Easier
💡 Tip 1: Always spin the spray arms by hand
This ensures nothing is blocking them.
💡 Tip 2: Leave small space between dishes
This helps water reach all sides.
💡 Tip 3: Do not overload
It reduces cleaning power.
💡 Tip 4: Use rinse aid for shiny glasses
It also helps dishes dry faster.
💡 Tip 5: Clean the filter once a week
A clean filter keeps your dishwasher fresh.
💡 Tip 6: Do not open the door mid-cycle
It stops the wash process and releases hot steam.
My Personal Experience Learning the COMFEE Dishwasher
When I first brought my COMFEE dishwasher home, I felt nervous.
I grew up washing dishes by hand. Machines scared me at first.
The first time I pressed Start, I opened the door again after two minutes because I thought nothing had happened. I did not know the dishwasher runs quietly at the beginning.
Another time I forgot to open the water tap and spent five full minutes wondering why the dishwasher was not starting. I even searched online for “COMFEE dishwasher broken.” Only then I realized the water tap was still closed.
These small mistakes may sound funny now, but they are very common.
And that is why guides like this help new users feel confident.
Final Thoughts
You now know exactly how to start a COMFEE dishwasher even if you have never used one before. The steps are simple, the process is easy, and the machine is very beginner-friendly. Once you follow the steps a few times, it will become second nature.
