The cutlery basket may be split into two parts by pulling out the handle. When you only have a little cutlery to wash you can use just half the basket, save space for other crockery or place the other half in the upper basket instead (see figures A and B).
Knives and utensils with sharp blades or tips should be positioned with the sharp parts at the bottom. This basket is equipped with two removable grids. Insert the cutlery one by one into the slots, with the handlesatthebottom.Positionthem so that they don’t touch.
In this specific model, the cutlery basket is fitted with two detachable side compartments, as shown in figure A1, which can be hooked on either the upper or lower basket as required.
