KLOE was installed at DAFNE, the Frascati f-factory by the end of 1998. DAFNE operation resumed in March 1999 and collisions were achieved on April 20. On that date KLOE observed Bhabha scattering events and K_L-K_S events. By the end of 1999, DAFNE had delivered an integrated luminosity of 2.4 pb^-1 to KLOE, corresponding to the production of 7 million of f's and millions of Bhabha events. With these data we have verified the performance of KLOE, refined the detector's calibration and begun the physics analysis of some topics in the KLOE program.
