PREPARING AND LOADING DISHES
Loading the Silverware Basket
CAUTION
Load sharp items (knives, skewers, etc.) pointing down.
Failure to do so may result in injury.
Features and appearance of racks and silverware basket as shown may vary from your model.
Load the silverware basket while it is in the bottom rack or take the basket out for loading on a counter or table.
For baskets with lids, small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., can be placed in a covered section to hold them in place.
Use suggested loading patterns, as shown, to increase washability of the silverware.
Be sure nothing protrudes through bottom of basket or rack to block the spray arm.
To avoid damaging the silver finish do not mix silver and stainless.
When covers are up, mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Water spray cannot reach nested items.
Adding a Dish
To add or remove items after wash cycle starts:
•Unlatch door and wait a few seconds until wash action stops before opening.
•Add the item, move the door to a near- closed position, and wait a few seconds while the cold air slowly expands inside the dishwasher.
•Close door firmly to latch and resume cycle.
