The silverware basket is designed with eight compartments to
help keep the silverware separated. Load silverware with the
handles downwards and spread it out as much as possible to
avoid nesting. For safety, load sharp knives with the handles
up.
Avoid placing silverware made of different materials (e.g., silver
and stainless) in the same compartment because of the risk
of discoloration. (See page 14.)
Small Items Containment Lid
The silverware basket has a lid in the middle that snaps down
over the compartments to its left or right to contain small,
lightweight items that might slip through the rack tines or get
washed out of the basket. The small items lid is slotted, so
you also could use it to keep silverware separated, such as
teaspoons.
LOADING THE SILVERWARE BASKET
LOADING THE UPPER BASKET
After you have scraped off the large food particles, place glasses, cups,
saucers, bowls and small plates in the upper basket, as illustrated.
Load stemware with the stem fitted inside one of the grooved tines on
the stemware rack.
The fold-down cup shelf on the right side of the basket gives you an
additional place to stack cups and small bowls. You can also stack
cups and small bowls on the stemware rack.
This model has a knife stop on the front of the upper basket. This gives
you a safe place to load long utensils and knives that won’t fit in the
silverware basket. The knife stop prevents knives or utensils from
damaging the door when you open and close it.
NOTE: When loading sharp items, always be careful not to cut the
rack coating.
LOADING THE BASKETS
Your new dishwasher features ASKO’s Super Cleaning
System™. This means that after prewash, mainwash
and intermediate rinse the water is drained out and the
cycle contiues with clean water.
If you plan to start your dishwasher right away, it’s not
necessary to rinse the dishes. You do, however, need
to scrape off the large particles of food before loading.
Load larger items in the lower basket, such as, dinner plates,
pots and pans, serving dishes, and casseroles. Be sure to load
dishware facing downward or toward the center of the
dishwasher.
LOADING THE LOWER BASKET
When loading silverware, try to avoid
nesting the spoons and forks.
