Figure 4.
At completion of loading of the upper rack check to make sure that nothing is protruding through or hanging beneath the bottom of the rack, which could block the rotation of the spray arm.
Figure 6.
Silverware should be placed in the silverware basket with the handles down, with the exception of the knives, which in order to avoid accidentally cutting oneself, should be placed with the handles up.
Figure 5.
LOADING THE LOWER RACK
•Large and/or heavily soiled items should be placed in the lower rack of the dishwasher. Heavily soiled pots and pans should be placed face down.
•If more space is needed for pots and pans the rear two sets of tines can be folded to the down position, on all models, or the rear three sets of tines, on some models. Figure 6 shows lower basket with rear three sets of
tines in the down position to accommodate large pots.
•Silverware should be mixed when placed in the silverware basket. The purpose of mixing the silverware is to avoid having them nest together, tor example if spoons would be placed together they could nest together so that water could not properly circulate across them to clean the surt_tces.
Figure 7.
If you do inadvertently load the silverware basket with the
knife blades up it is recommended, to avoid cutting yourself when unloading, that you remove the silverware basket from the dishwasher and tip the contents out onto a cutting board.
•The Bosch dishwashers also have a pair of flip down shelves at the back of the lower rack. These shelves may be flipped down to hold extra large utensils, such as serving spoons, or long knives. They also may be used as additional cup shelves. See Figures 5 and 7.
