Silverware Basket

Put flatware in the removable basket with fork and knife handles up to protect your hands. Place spoons in the basket with handles down. Mix knives, forks and spoons so they don’t nest together. Distribute evenly. Small plastic items, such as measuring spoons and lids from small containers, should go in the bottom of the silverware basket with silverware on top.

To increase the flexibility of the lower rack, the silverware basket may be split (on some models). Grasp the basket at opposite corners and slide apart. The basket sections should

be placed in the lower rack by hanging them on the top hoop.

A cover can be lowered to either side of the split basket to secure lightweight items from the effects of the vigorous wash action.

The accessory basket (on some models)

can hold small items such as: baby bottle nipples, plastic lids, corn cob holders, etc. It can hang from the top hoop of the upper rack along the right side or it can also hang on the right or left side of the lower rack. When hanging the accessory basket on the right side in the upper rack,

make sure the top is closed and nothing is sticking out.

Troubleshooting Tips

Two types of air gaps

Check the air gap any time your dishwasher isn’t draining well.

Does Your Dishwasher Have an Air Gap?

An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. The air gap is not a part of the dishwasher. It is not covered by your warranty. Not all plumbing codes require air gaps, so you may not have one.

The air gap is easy to clean.

1 Turn off the dishwasher and lift off the chrome cover.

2 Unscrew the plastic cap and clean with a toothpick.
