Loading Silverware Basket
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take
the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
NOTE: Unload or remove the basket before unloading the racks
to avoid spilling water droplets onto the silverware.
■ Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob
holders, etc., in a covered section. Close the cover to hold
small items in place.
■ Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase
washability of your silverware. Load items using the slots with
the covers down to avoid silverware nesting.
■ This silverware basket can be separated and placed into the
bottom rack in several locations. Load silverware in all
sections or just one, depending upon your load.
■ If your silverware basket does not have covers or when
covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with
some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray
cannot reach nested items.
IMPORTANT: Always load items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing
down.
To remove a small basket
1. Hold the center basket and one small basket. Slide the small
basket forward to release the tabs from the corresponding
slots.
2. Pull the baskets apart.
NOTES:
■ Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless
steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each
other during washing.
■ Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,
etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do
not have a full load to wash immediately.
