Preparing and Loading Dishes (continued)
Loading the Silverware Basket
Cut Injury
Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing
down.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack
or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn
cob holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover
to hold small items in place.
When covers are up, mix items in each section of the
basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid
nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.
To remove small basket:
1. Hold the center basket and one small basket. Slide
the small basket back to release the tabs from the
corresponding slots.
2. Pull the baskets apart.
Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase
washability of your silverware.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or
rack to block the spray arm.
Do not mix silver and stainless to avoid damaging the
silver finish.
The silverware basket can be separated and placed in
several locations in the bottom rack. Load silverware in
all sections or just one, depending on your load.
