Silverware Basket

To load flatware, simply push the adjustable handle to either side (on some models). 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 the silverware on top.

The one-piece silverware basket (on some models) can be placed in the front, right side or back of the lower rack.

A variety of options is available regarding the three-piece silverware basket (on some models) in your dishwasher. The complete basket is designed to fit on the right side of the lower rack. Additionally, each end of the basket is removable to add loading flexibility to accommodate flatware and lower rack capacity needs.

The lids of both end and middle baskets (on some models) can be closed to contain small items. Long items can

be placed on the utility shelf in the upper rack.
