Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued)
Utility Basket
(available select models)
The utility basket has two dividers that can be
opened to hold longer items or closed for
small items like measuring spoons, bottle
stoppers, etc. The covers on each end can be
folded down out of the way or closed to keep
small items inside. The utility basket also
doubles as a silverware basket when using the
SHORT WASH—UPPER RACK option.
Loading the Bottom Rack
The lower rack is best for plates, saucers,
bowls and cookware. Large items should be
placed along the edge so they don't block the
spray arm rotation. For best results, place
bowls, casseroles and sauce pans with soiled
surface facing down or toward the center. Tilt
slightly for better drainage.
Make sure tall items do not block spray arm
rotation.
Be sure pan handles do not protrude through
the bottom of the rack and block the spray arm
rotation.
Fold-down Tines
(available select models)
The fold-down tines in the lower rack makes
easy loading of those extra large and hard-to-
fit items. The tines may be left up for normal
use or folded down for more flexible loading.
