Before loading, remove large food particles and rinse dishes to prevent clogging. Scrape off heavy debris but avoid pre-washing. For delicate items, ensure they are secure. Check for blockages in utensils like mugs or bowls. Handle fragile glassware with care to avoid breakage. Place smaller items in designated holders to prevent shifting. Ensure all dishes face the center for optimal water flow. Avoid nesting items, as this can hinder cleaning. For items with dried-on food, consider soaking briefly before loading. Always check for dishwasher-safe labels on plastics and glassware. Proper preparation ensures efficient cleaning and prevents damage to both dishes and the dishwasher.

Position bowls and smaller plates on the middle or upper rack. Ensure dishes are not nested or overlapping, as this can prevent proper cleaning. Face all items toward the center to allow water jets to reach all surfaces effectively. Secure fragile or lightweight items to prevent movement during cycles. Avoid blocking the spray arms with large utensils or dishes. Use adjustable rack features to accommodate taller items. Proper arrangement ensures thorough cleaning and prevents damage to both dishes and the dishwasher.

Dry the exterior thoroughly with a clean cloth to prevent water spots. Pay special attention to buttons, handles, and seams, where dust and grime tend to accumulate. Cleaning the exterior not only enhances its visual appeal but also ensures long-lasting performance and hygiene. Always unplug the dishwasher before cleaning for safety.
5.2 Cleaning the Interior and Key Components
Cleaning the interior of your Comfee dishwasher is essential for maintaining hygiene and performance. Start by leaving the door open after a cycle to allow moisture to evaporate.

Check and clean the drain filter at the bottom to prevent clogs. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as they may damage internal components. For tougher buildup, mix baking soda and water into a paste, apply it to interior surfaces, and let it sit before wiping clean. Regular interior cleaning ensures optimal efficiency and prevents the growth of mold or mildew.
5.3 Filter Maintenance and Replacement
Regular maintenance of your Comfee dishwasher’s filter is crucial for optimal performance. The filter, typically located at the bottom or under the lower rack, traps food particles and debris.

If damaged or worn, replace it immediately to prevent clogs and poor washing results. Check the filter every 1-2 months, depending on usage. Refer to your specific model’s manual for exact location and replacement instructions. Proper filter care ensures efficient cleaning and prolongs your dishwasher’s lifespan.
