4. Setup and Installation
Your Comfee countertop dishwasher requires a water supply and a waste outlet for operation. It can be installed in two primary ways:
4.1 Plumbed Connection
The dishwasher can be connected with a simple plumbed connection, similar to a full-size dishwasher. This involves connecting the water inlet hose to a cold water supply and the drain hose to a waste outlet. Professional installation is recommended for permanent plumbing connections.
4.2 Faucet Connection (Temporary Setup)
For a more flexible setup, the dishwasher can be connected directly to a kitchen faucet. This method requires a suitable adapter (not always included, check packaging) to connect the water inlet hose to the faucet. The waste water will then empty directly into a sink. Ensure the drain hose is securely positioned to prevent spills.
4.3 Placement
The compact design allows for flexible placement. It can be placed on a countertop or fitted into a cupboard, provided there is adequate space and access to water and drainage connections.
5. Operating Instructions
Before starting a wash cycle, ensure dishes are loaded correctly, detergent and rinse aid are added, and the water supply is connected and turned on.
5.1 Loading the Dishwasher
- Scrape off large food particles from dishes.
- Place larger items in the back or sides to avoid blocking spray arms.
- Ensure all items are stable and do not obstruct the detergent dispenser or spray arms.
- Load plates up to 10 inches in diameter.
5.2 Adding Detergent and Rinse Aid
- Fill the detergent dispenser with appropriate dishwasher detergent.
- Check the rinse aid dispenser and refill if necessary for optimal drying results.
