Figure 16
Keep children away from knives and other sharp
utensils.
NOTE: The silverware basket lids can be folded
up to accommodate large or oddly-shaped items.
With the silverware basket lids down, load the
silverware basket following a pattern suggested
by Figure 16, placing knives with their handles up,
and forks and spoons with their handles down.
If large or oddly-shaped items are to be loaded
into the silverware basket with the lids up, load
the items so that they do not nest together. Load
knives and sharp utensils with their handles up.
The basket splits along its length, making two
halves that may be placed in a variety of positions
in the lower rack, greatly increasing the lower
rack’s loading versatility.
