Loading Silverware Basket | KitchenAid KUDM25SH, KUDI25CH guide

■Load cookie sheets, cake pans, and other large items at the sides and back. Loading such items in front can keep the water spray from reaching the detergent dispenser.

■Secure heavily soiled cookware face down in the rack.

■Make sure pot handles and other items do not stop rotation of the spray arm(s). The spray arm(s) must move freely.

■Do not load items between the bottom rack and the side of the dishwasher tub. You can block the water inlet opening.

Loading the

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 on the silverware.

USING YOUR DISHWASHER

Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller Pre- Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.

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, forks, etc.) pointing down.

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.

■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.

The KUDM25SH incorporates the Soft Grip stemware holders, while the KUDI25CH includes a dedicated third rack for utensils or small kitchen tools, maximizing the available loading space.

In terms of cleaning technology, both models come equipped with a powerful filtering system that traps food particles to ensure they do not redeposit on clean dishes. The high-efficiency wash system uses a combination of high-pressure spray jets and heated water to dissolve tough stains, resulting in sparkling clean dishes.

Innovatively designed interiors enhance usability and convenience in both dishwashers. They boast stainless steel interiors, which resist odors and stains, while the smooth surface makes for easier cleaning and maintenance. Additionally, the models feature a sleek control panel that is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing users to select from multiple wash cycles and options effortlessly.
