Place small items such as baby bottle caps, jar lids, corncob
holders, etc., in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the
cover to hold small items in place.
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 sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.)
pointing down.
The silverware basket can be hung on the door or on the
bottom rack (see illustration).
The silverware basket can also be placed inside the bottom
rack.
To remove the basket from the door
1.
Grasp the silverware basket by the handle. Slide it toward the
top of the door.
2.
Lift the basket off the holding buttons.
To replace the basket in the door
1.
Set the silverware basket on the holding buttons.
2.
Slide the basket toward the bottom of the door until it locks in
place.
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.
DISHWASHER USE
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller Pre-Wash
section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close
the door.
The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent
into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the “Cycle Selection
Charts.”)
Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents
can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the
dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
Add detergent just before starting cycle.
Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh
automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
NOTE:
Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.
