Utensil Baskets

Removable Standard Utensil Basket (select models)

For best cleaning results, prevent items from nesting together by placing some items in the basket with handles up and some with handles down. Load knives, handles up and spoons and forks handles down, through the slots in the hinged covered section(s) (when closed).

Be sure that thin, finely pointed items do not extend through the basket. This could block the lower wash arm.

Small, lightweight items like baby spoons and plastic measuring spoons should be placed in the section(s) with the hinged cover(s).

Split & Fit™ Utensil Basket (select models)

The split silverware basket can be separated and placed in several locations in the bottom rack. Load flatware and utensils into both sections or just one, depending on your load.

Convertible Tines (select models) in the back, right corner can be adjusted to provide narrow spacing for loading plates or wide spacing for loading deep bowls, pots or pans. Flip tines up for narrow spacing or down for wider spacing.

Back

To split the basket, hold the basket

firmly along the sides. Unlock baskets as shown here.

Auxiliary Basket (select models)

Use this supplemental basket in the upper rack for loading miscellaneous items and utensils. This is also a safe place to sharp knives and

items.
