Dishwasher Features

Your KitchenAid dishwasher may have some or all of these features.

ProScrub® Option Wash Area

The ProScrub® option wash area is located at the back of the lower level rack.

NOTE: You must select the ProScrub® wash option to use this feature. Make sure items do not interfere with the water feed tube, spray arms, or ProScrub® spray jets.

■Keep the last tine row in the back of the lower rack in the 60° angled position when using the ProScrub® option.

■Load pans, casserole dishes, etc., in the back of the lower dish

rack with the soiled surfaces facing the ProScrub® spray jets, and resting on the last row of tines in the angled position.

■Only one row of items may face the ProScrub® spray jets. Stacking, overlapping or nesting items will keep the ProScrub® spray jets from contacting all of the surfaces.

Silverware Basket

Use the slots in the covers to keep your silverware separated for optimum wash. There are specially designed slots (small round holes) for chopsticks. Mix silverware types to keep them separated. Load knives down, forks up, and alternate spoons, for best cleaning results.

NOTE: If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, flip the covers up and push them down into the basket.

CULINARY CADDY® Utensil Basket

Use the utensil basket to hold specialty cooking utensils (serving spoons, spatulas, and similar items), or overflow silverware items.

The basket hangs on the bottom rack in the right-hand corner. Load the basket while it is on the bottom rack or remove the basket for loading on a counter or table.

NOTE: Spin the spray arms while the bottom rack is inside the dishwasher to

be sure items in the basket do not stop the rotation of the arms.
