Silverware
and Utensil
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.
Lower Rack
Don’t let any item extend through bottom
When loading the lower rack, do not load tall platters or trays in the front left corner. They may prevent detergent cup from opening during the wash cycle.
The lower rack is best used for large trays, saucepans and cookware. There is 15″ clearance for tall items. Large items such as broiler pans and racks should go along the sides. Load platters, pots and bowls along the sides, in corners or in the back. The soiled side of items should face down or the center of the rack.
The tray dividers may be left in the up position or folded down to customize the lower rack.
