Beginner-Friendly Step-by-Step Guide to Using a COMFEE Dishwasher

1. Step 1: Get Your Dishes Ready

Before putting anything inside, make sure you do this:

Throw big food pieces in the trash
No need to wash dishes by hand—just rinse lightly
Remove toothpicks, tissues, and small plastic bits

Small story:
The first week I had my COMFEE dishwasher, I forgot to remove a lemon seed stuck under a plate. It rolled around inside and made a clicking noise the whole cycle. The dishwasher still worked fine, but I learned that tiny things can make funny sounds.

Why rinsing lightly helps

Your COMFEE dishwasher is strong enough to clean dirty dishes. But heavy food chunks block the spray arms. A quick rinse avoids that.

2. Step 2: Load the Bottom Rack

The bottom rack is for:

Plates
Pots
Pans
Bowls that are large
Big utensils

Tips to load it right

Place plates standing straight
Keep pots upside down
Leave space between items
Keep nothing touching the spray arm

Unique insight:
Leave one empty spot on the bottom rack whenever possible. This helps water flow better and cleans more evenly. It’s a small trick that makes a big difference.

3. Step 3: Load the Top Rack

The top rack is for lighter items:

Cups
Glasses
Small bowls
Plastic containers (ONLY if dishwasher safe)

Be careful with plastic.
If plastic touches the heating area, it may melt. I once placed a small plastic cup near the bottom rack. It came out in a funny shape. Lesson learned.

Top rack tips

Angle cups so water runs off
Don’t stack cups inside each other
Keep tall glasses away from spray arms

4. Step 4: Place the Cutlery Correctly

Your cutlery basket helps keep things safe.

How to load it

Forks go handles down
Spoons go handles up
Knives go handles up for safety
Mix the cutlery so nothing sticks together

When spoons touch each other, water cannot reach all sides. That is why mixing helps.

5. Step 5: Add Dishwasher Detergent

You’ll find a small detergent compartment on the inside of the door.

Use:

Dishwasher tablets
Dishwasher pods
Dishwasher powder

Never use regular hand-wash liquid.
I tried that mistake once in another machine—the whole kitchen filled with foam like a bubble party.

How much detergent to use

For tablets: 1 tablet
For powder: fill the marked line

If your water is very hard, use slightly more. COMFEE dishwashers work well with tablets for beginners.

6. Step 6: Add Rinse Aid

Rinse aid helps your dishes dry faster and prevents water spots.

Your dishwasher has a small round compartment for it.

Signs you need rinse aid:

Glasses look cloudy
Plates feel wet even after drying
Water drops stay on surfaces

I did not use rinse aid for months. When I finally added it, the difference was huge. My glasses looked shiny for the first time.

7. Step 7: Choose the Right Program

Your COMFEE dishwasher has buttons such as:

Eco
Normal
Intensive
Glass
Rapid
Soak / Pre-Wash

What each program means

Eco Mode
Good for daily light loads. Saves water and electricity.

Normal Mode
Best for everyday dishes and mixed loads.

Intensive Mode
For greasy pots or very dirty plates.

Glass Mode
For delicate glasses and cups.

Rapid Mode
Fast cycle for lightly dirty items. Great when guests show up suddenly.

Soak / Pre-Wash
Used when you plan to wash later.

8. Step 8: Press “Start”

After selecting the program, press the Start/Pause button.

You will hear water fill inside. This is normal.
Your dishwasher will wash, rinse, and dry on its own.

Tip:
Do not open the dishwasher during the first few minutes. It may splash water.

9. Step 9: Wait for Drying

Let your dishwasher finish drying before you open the door.
After the beep, open the door slightly and let steam escape.

Why this helps

Letting the steam out keeps plates dry and stops water from dripping onto your hands.

10. Step 10: Unload the Dishes the Right Way

Unload from bottom to top.

This stops water on the top rack from spilling onto the clean dishes below.

A simple trick but very useful.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

These mistakes can make your dishwasher less effective:

1. Overloading the racks

Stuffing too many plates blocks the water spray.

2. Laying large items flat on the bottom

This stops water from reaching the top rack.

3. Using too much detergent

Extra soap does not clean better. It leaves white spots.

4. Skipping regular cleaning

Food bits stuck in the filter cause bad smells.

5. Using hand-wash liquid

This causes extreme foam.

6. Not checking the spray arms

If they don’t spin freely, dishes won’t get clean.

How Do I Start My COMFEE Dishwasher?

Starting your COMFEE dishwasher is simple once you get familiar with the steps. First, load your dishes the right way—big items at the bottom, lighter items at the top, and cutlery in its basket. Then add one tablet or the right amount of powder into the detergent compartment. Next, shut the dishwasher door firmly. Choose one program, such as “Normal” or “Eco.” After that, press the Start button. You will hear a small humming sound when the water begins to fill. That means your dishwasher has started. Once you see the light turn on, your COMFEE dishwasher is running correctly.

How to Operate a Dishwasher Step by Step?

Operating a dishwasher is easy when you break it down into simple steps. Start by removing big food pieces from your plates and bowls. Load the bottom rack with large items and the top rack with cups and small bowls. Add detergent to the dispenser and close it. Add rinse aid if needed. Pick the wash program that suits your dishes. Press Start and let the dishwasher run on its own. When the cycle finishes, crack the door open to release steam. Once everything cools, remove the dishes from bottom to top. That’s the entire process in a simple way.

What Are the Functions of a COMFEE Dishwasher?

A COMFEE dishwasher comes with functions designed to make cleaning easy for beginners. The Eco mode saves water. The Normal mode handles everyday dishes. The Intensive mode removes tough grease from pots and pans. The Glass mode protects delicate cups. The Rapid mode cleans lightly dirty dishes quickly when you don’t have much time. The Pre-Wash mode rinses dishes when you plan to wash them later. Other functions include Delay Start, Child Lock, and LED indicators that show when detergent or rinse aid is low. All these functions help you wash dishes the way you want.

Why Is My COMFEE Dishwasher Not Starting?

If your COMFEE dishwasher is not starting, the problem is usually small. First, check if the door is closed tightly. These machines won’t start unless the door clicks. Next, make sure the power plug is secure. Look at the water supply valve and ensure it is turned on. Sometimes the Child Lock gets activated by mistake. When the lock is active, the buttons won’t work. Another common issue is selecting a program but forgetting to press Start. If none of these solve the problem, check the filter for clogs. Most times, the issue is simple and easy to fix.

Extra Helpful Tips for First-Time COMFEE Users

1. Clean the filter once a week

Twist it, remove it, rinse under water, and put it back.

2. Run an empty cycle with white vinegar once a month

This keeps your dishwasher smelling clean.

3. Keep the bottom spray arm clear

Sometimes a spoon falls and blocks it.

4. Do not open the door mid-cycle often

It stops the cycle and releases hot steam.

5. Always use dishwasher-safe items

Look for the small dishwasher symbol on plastic containers.

Final Thoughts

Learning how to operate a COMFEE dishwasher is not hard. Once you understand where things go and what the buttons do, the process becomes simple. The machine is designed to help you, not confuse you.

Start slow, follow the steps, avoid the common mistakes, and soon your dishwasher will feel like your best kitchen helper. If I could learn it with many mistakes along the way, you can learn it easily with this clear beginner-friendly guide.
